It has been weeks since we left the exquisite Auberge Du Raisin, and I still think about our magical visit, wishing I were still there. Our large, beautiful room and bathroom were so comfortable and well-appointed. The amount of space we had is unusual in Europe. The housekeepers kept everything so clean and the hotel itself is decorated beautifully. What really made our experience stand out was the incredible help of Ilenia during our week-long stay. Whatever we needed, she was there to help us. Nothing was too much to ask and she was always warm, caring, and generous. We also appreciated Jean-Luis, the restaurant manager, who was also so kind, generous and helpful towards us. We grew to love both of these special people who helped to make our stay so meaningful. The town of Cully is a feast for the eyes, with some great restaurants and lovely places to explore. The hotel is very close to the train so you can visit a nearby city if you have the urge. If you rent a car, know that there is a charge to park during the day (not at night) and finding parking can be a challenge. This is not just Cully but also other places we visited in Switzerland. Finally, if you are arriving at the hotel on a Sunday or Monday, make sure you ask beforehand where you will need to check in, as the hotel is closed on those days. We made some friends in Lausanne, who invited us to stay at their home in the future. I thanked them but said we will ONLY stay at Auberge Du Raisin. That's our home.
