O apartamento é deslumbrante, lindo, de extremo bom gosto, pé direito alto, cores sóbrias, super espaçoso. BAnheiros super confortáveis, dispõe de roupão e pantufas, cozinha toda equipada, vista para o rio, café da manhã disponível com hora marcada, TV e som, UM LUXO!! Foi uma surpresa para todos nós,não queríamos mais sair de lá rsss. Um dos melhores apartamentos que já aluguei, MARAVILHOSO.
Tudo perfeito, sem defeitos. Se fosse preciso dizer algo, somente a questão de não dispor de elevador, tivemos que subir asmalas pelas escadas, como não temos problemas de mobilidade isso definitivamente não teve a menor importância. O apartamento fica localizado em uma ilha, eu particularmente amei.

Dans le cadre d'un déplacement dans le sud de la France de dernière minutes , nous avons jeter notre dévolu à mi-chemin sur les suites de l'île de barbe et nous n'avons pas été déçus. Nous nous attendions pas à ce haut standing. Connaissant un peu la Ville de Lyon nous savions que nous pouvions qu'être satisfaits de notre choix. Les Hôtes étaient dès le début au petit soin avec nous et nos attentes de dernières minutes. Arriver sur l'île était déjà un voyage et une fois le portail traversé , c'était le dépaysement !!!!
Rien tout était correct. Je ne peux que le recommander.

The hosts at check in were very friendly and accomodating. The room was so beautiful and the garden too. The room felt like it had just been renovated, no spots or marks anywhere. Lovely place
The parking are is a bit tight, so maybe with a really big car you might have some problems
4.5 / 5.0
The loft is really cozy and fully equipped to accommodate a family. All the utensils are new and modern. the beds are very comfortable. The view of the place is amazing: it’s located in an island, in the middle of the Saône River. It also has a beautiful garden just beside the property, close to the river. The (paid) breakfast is delicious. The owners of the place are very helpful and friendly.
if you have heavy luggage, you’ll struggle a little bit to get them upstairs. The blackout curtains of the couple room don’t seal the windows completely. Thus, if you want to sleep a little bit more and avoid the sunlight in the morning, you’ll have to fix the curtains on the wall somehow.

What a fantastic, beautiful and unique place to stay! You are on your own island which makes it special. The living room was spectacular and the biggest place we have ever stayed. It would be great for a family reunion. Benedicte was wonderful and communication was great via Whatsapp.
You would definitely need a car to get to town/lyon center.

We had a lovely stay. Great host, the facilities were fantastic. A very well stocked Coffee and Tea station. Well equipped kitchen. Room decor, bed,heating everything was fantastic.
There is a straight bus to the city centre.
The shower was slightly small compared to the room. But no complaints.
Monday and Tuesday morning we woke to squeaky noises of footsteps from the floor above. That was slightly annoying.
Overall a good stay.

We only had breakfast one day because the boulangerie within walking distance was so wonderful.
We worried that the location outside of Lyon Centre in the 9th arrondissement would be too far for us to reach important sites. However, with a car, access to major tourist sites and restaurants was easy and took less than 20 minutes. Basically, we stayed along the Soane and had no trouble reaching the location. Eventually, we learned to find parking on the car GPS and it made our trips much easier.
The Ile Barbe is a magical location like being in a woods outside a small town despite its location in the major city of Lyon. The 9th arrondissement had all of the amenities we required -- several pharmacies, several excellent restaurants, an excellent boulangerie (bread and patisserie), a fromagerie, and a well-stocked American-style grocery store.
The Suites offered a lovely apartment with a large garden in back of the building, somewhat untamed but full of fruit trees and bordering the Soane. We wondered continually about the history of the property with a plain stuccoed back and a wildly carved late medieval/renaissance front facing the Soane. Was it a crypt or a destroyed Abbey chapel in the garden? Was the guard tower built to protect the Abbey landing?
While we were there, work began on at least one other lodging in the old Abbot's house. It appeared to be a smaller apartment with wonderful arched ceilings. A creative architect seems to have been engaged to remodel the historic rooms to grand vacation apartments worthy of the lovely setting.
We also enjoyed the small park near the entrance to the Ile and the music festivals on two Sundays that brought out families from the 9th arrondissement for picnics and play.
Benedicte and her family were available whenever we had a question or needed additional supplies.
We all agreed the Suites were a real find (though not inexpensive) and we would be lucky to find them available again if we revisit Lyon.
We rented a car so we could take day trips around Lyon. Without a car, it would have been much more difficult to get around and we never fully understood the public transit system. More information about how to use the Lyon metro or bus system would have been helpful because the Ile itself was wholly walkable.
The Suites makes laundry available but some of our party would have liked more information about local laundromats or "wash and fold."
At this time of year, the wonderful garden along the Soane was full of bugs, so we weren't able to enjoy it as much as planned. Suggestions would have been helpful, assuming the bugs would have listened.

Though there is no concierge, but since we arrived earlier than the check-in time from the train staion, the owner got to the property specially from office to open a space for us to store the luggages. The ower couple is so nice throughout our staying. The living room is greatly gorgeous. I also like the toilettes, as the towals are soft and new, even the toilet paper is with highest quality. Super recommend to my friends.

the owners were nice.
cold water. the photos are great, but does not tell the whole true, if you book one room you won’t see anything of what the photos tell. I thought it has common spaces (lobby/restaurant) and not. far away from city and not worth it.
5.0 / 5.0
Amazing and inspiring location, kids loved exploring both outside and inside. Historical charm, all modern amenities - perfect boulangerie nearby for all your food needs.
Single use toiletries in plastic - a dispenser would be much more environmentally friendly.

We loved the beautifully restored historic building and the private location close to the Soane and its walking path. The hosts were very attentive and accommodating. Breakfast was excellent and the kitchen was well stocked.

I’lle Barbe is a stunning island surrounded by nature. The building is historical and well restored. The rooms have all the mod cons however they lack the soul of the building and feel a bit clinical which doesn’t match the surroundings.
The location is out of town so you cannot walk into Lyon which was fine for us as this was a stopover destination.
We were disappointed how expensive the breakfast was. For €20 each plus €3.90 tourist tax each (this wasn’t mentioned) we felt the simple selection of a baguette and pastries didn’t match the expensive price. For this price we would expect to have a wider choice and be asked what we would like. We think this should be reconsidered by the owner.
