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.

We liked the location. We were able to walk around the area. It was beautiful and quiet. We had a parking spot. Room and bathroom were clean.

The property had a beautiful location and views, was extremely comfortable with a homely warmth and great utilities! The host was very welcoming as well.

This was our first night on the Way of St. Jacques walking Pilgrimage from Geneva to Le Puy en Velay. So we just needed a place to overnight in Neydens. It was great for that. Plus the house was clean and filled with interesting wood sculptures.
