Guest Houses in Geneva

We were looking for an alternative to the usual business hotel for a one-night stay near Geneva Airport and were fortunate to discover La Ferme du Lignon – a lovely bed and breakfast style stay located within an old working farm on the banks of the Rhône River. Rooms are beautifully and tastefully renovated, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The in-room Nespresso coffee machine/pods, kettle/tea bags, and wine glasses (buy a bottle from the onsite market shop) were a nice touch, although there are a few restaurants, a McDonald's, and a supermarket within a 10-minute walk. The host, Stefan, was super helpful and friendly and easy to communicate with via WhatsApp – keep an eye out for head farm cat "Marius," a very handsome white and ginger boy. We didn't use the free public transport pass or have the buffet breakfast, but Stefan mentioned both were options for guests. Yes, La Ferme du Lignon is framed in part by views of the world-famous Le Lignon housing development (essentially a town within a town designed by architect Georges Addor), but it does not detract from the peaceful nature, ambiance, or charm of the property.
