With the City at Your Feet in Lyon, Rhône-Alpes

With the City at Your Feet Self-Catering

It’s one thing to visit a city and quite another to have it laid out before you, which is exactly what you’ll experience with a stay at this stunning duplex apartment, nestled above the city in the bohemian La Croix-Rousse district. Surrounded by charming streets, leafy squares and numerous cafes, shops and restaurants, this is truly a dream spot to base yourself while staying in Lyon.

Enter to be immediately struck by the breathtaking views from the huge window in the living room, which welcomes you with a bright and stylish space, perfect for kicking back and relaxing at the end of a long day. We love the high beamed ceilings, elegant furnishings and the statement-making staircase in the heart of the room, hinting at the comfortable bedrooms to be found on the upper level.

Snuggle up for a night of movies and conversation on the comfy sofa and rustle up a delicious supper in the well-equipped kitchen. Should you have some laptop duties to catch up on during your stay, you’ll be delighted to find a dedicated desk space upstairs. Before heading off to the land of sweet dreams, why not treat yourself to an indulgent bubble bath in the sleek bathroom.

Welcome a new day with a cup of freshly brewed Nespresso coffee and marvel at the city waking up before you.
