Looking for a home away from home for your next trip to Geneva? Look no further as last week we visited the most exciting lakeside split-level private villa available to rent short term just 5 minutes from the city. Located in La Réserve Genève, the modern La Villa du Lac, a haven of glass and polished concrete, stood in its garden bordering the lake with an exquisite view of the snowy peaks of Mount Blanc. Subtle luxury - a beautifully simple, uncluttered and stylish villa.

Ideal for a couple or small family looking for the ultimate hideaway in Geneva. The villa is 385m² spread over two floors with all rooms facing the lake and gardens. We loved the space of this ideal home with the large glass windows blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor. Contemporary decoration and furniture by the Parisian designer Remi Tessier and the owner’s art collection throughout are true delights.

The ground floor with ceiling to floor windows houses the generous 160m² open plan living room consisting of a media room, two large sitting areas, a study area and a dining room. The designer eat-in kitchen also leads to a terrace for alfresco dining. Upstairs the master bedroom with bathroom, separate toilet, dressing room, fitness area and south facing balcony. A second bedroom with ensuite shower and balcony. There is a 3rd bedroom which guests could use as a playroom or office. Further personal staff accommodation is also onsite.

For those who regularly stay in 5* hotel suites in Geneva, the La Villa du Lac offers a refreshing and exciting alternative. Facing south with uninterrupted views of the lake and mountains, the Geneva lake villa offers the ultimate in privacy and tranquillity. Guests will enjoy the acclaimed Swiss hospitality with a personalised housekeeping and concierge service as well as access to the restaurants, pools and 2000m² spa of La Reserve Geneve. The villa is available for short or extended stays, corporate retreats and product launches.
