In the heart of the medieval village of Yvoire, this iconic hotel is one of those places you dream of lingering in. Between the lake and flowered alleyways, the Hôtel Restaurant du Port embodies the Savoyard art of living, one that blends gentleness, authenticity, and gastronomy.
A dream location, feet in the water
Imagine yourself on a terrace by Lake Geneva, a light breeze coming from the open water, and just opposite, the Swiss mountains outlined on the horizon. This is exactly the atmosphere you find here. The hotel is nestled just steps from the port of Yvoire, in a peaceful pedestrian zone, two minutes from the cobbled streets and the ramparts of the old town. The setting is so harmonious that it feels as though time pauses there a little.
Rooms with a view and serenity
The rooms at the Hôtel du Port breathe tranquility. Bright, comfortable, decorated in a style both simple and elegant, they invite relaxation after a walk around the lake. Those overlooking the water offer a spectacle never tiring: the changing reflections of Lake Geneva, golden sunsets, silhouettes of boats gliding in the distance…
Inside, nothing is missing: well-kept bedding, air conditioning, courtesy tray, modern bathroom, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Everything is designed so you feel at home, with that touch of refinement typical of charming family-run houses.
A renowned table, between lake and terroir
It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful tables in the village. The restaurant, widely open to the lake, highlights local products and fish from Lake Geneva — whitefish, perch, or Arctic char, prepared with finesse and respect for flavors. The plates are generous, the presentations neat, and the service attentive without ever being stiff. You enjoy both the cuisine and the view.
On the terrace, at lunchtime or dinner, the ballet of boats and the calm of the port offer a unique spectacle. The ambiance is romantically perfect, ideal for a meal for two or a summer dinner with friends.
Little extras that make all the difference
In the morning, a hearty continental breakfast awaits travelers: fresh bread, artisanal jams, local cheeses, seasonal fruits, and hot drinks served with a smile.
For those wishing to extend the experience, the hotel offers private parking, bike rentals, and nearby hiking trails.
Yvoire is wonderfully explored on foot: between the Garden of the Five Senses, the castle, and the flower-lined alleyways, everything is accessible within a few minutes.
An address to remember for a romantic stay
It’s hard to find a more poetic setting than that of the Hôtel Restaurant du Port. It’s the kind of place you keep in mind for a getaway for two, a birthday, or simply to offer yourself a peaceful break by the water. Travelers seeking charm, authenticity, and gastronomy will be won over.
Between lake and mountain, this hotel perfectly embodies the gentle way of life of Yvoire: elegant, discreet, and profoundly soothing.
