Our Home
Our home is set in Villars, a unique family year round resort nestled in the Swiss mountain resort only 90 minutes from Geneva airport.
Villars is a wonderful place to vacation, its reputation is that of quiet luxury, but to our family, it a haven of peace and fun for our three children, and a wonderful place if you enjoy, the mountain views, tennis, cycling, walking and most other outdoor pursuits. Thirty minutes down the mountain is lake Geneva, joining France to Switzerland and home to amazing vessels from the Swiss Americas cup entrant, Alinghi, right down to kid friendly kayaks.
Italy is also 90 minutes away and the world famous St Gotthard monastery and St Bernard dogs sits between the two.
