The house
Located in Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d’Or, just 8 km from the center of Lyon, Effet Lodge combines the charm of a country guesthouse with the comfort of modern accommodation. This former carpenter’s workshop has been completely renovated and now offers an elegant and soothing setting. The tree-lined garden, heated swimming pool and terraces invite you to relax, while the large shared lounge creates moments of conviviality between guests. It’s a discreet address where you’ll feel both at home and on the move, perfect for a calm and friendly stay in Lyon. Bus 20 or 71, just a few metres away, takes you to Gare de Vaise and metro line D: allow about fifteen minutes to Vieux Lyon.
A warm welcome
Behind Effet Lodge, there’s a story, the story of a woman with a passion for meeting and sharing. In love with Lyon and its region, your host welcomes you with attention and simplicity. Always ready to listen, she likes to recommend her favorite addresses: an authentic bouchon, a secret stroll or a little-known view of the city. Here, everything is done to make you feel expected, understood and accompanied. A guesthouse in Lyon where the welcome is genuine.
