Silberhochzeit

Wir haben anlĂ€sslich unserer Silberhochzeit ein paar Tage in Riquewihr und dem kleinen Apartment verbracht. Wir waren sehr zufrieden, haben gut geschlafen in dem bequemen Bett. Das sehr kleine Zimmer ist fĂŒr 2-3 NĂ€chte ausreichend. Die gute Lage am Rande der Altstadt ermöglicht es, alles fußlĂ€ufig zu erreichen.

Die Unterkunft ist perfekt gelegen und ideal fĂŒr einige Tage. FĂŒr einen lĂ€ngeren Aufenthalt sollte man lieber eine grĂ¶ĂŸere Unterkunft wĂ€hlen. Man ist sehr schnell in den Restaurants, in der Woche ist das Angebot begrenzt. Parken ist nicht so einfach, man braucht da auch etwas GlĂŒck.

Wunderbar und niedlich

Wir haben die Unterkunft genauso angetroffen, wie auf dem Foto gezeigt. Dieses hatte es uns angetan, und genauso war es auch. Die Sitzecke optimal und sehr platzsparend, die Dusche ungewöhnlich gross, sodass man sich richtig bewegen kann. Wer ein sauberes "PuppenhÀuschen" mag, dem sei es sehr empfohlen. Wer einfach eine Unterkunft sucht, hat auch das. Herzlicher Empfahng, einfache FormalitÀten, alles bestens.

21st Century stay in mediaeval village

We previously stayed in The Refuge of the Imp (Lutin) in 2008, and were most impressed at the consistent standard of the accommodation. Checking in and out was efficiently organised: simply follow the instructions carefully. We would recommend this as a place to stay for a wide range of interests, including viticulture in Riquewihr and surrounds, walking to the neighbouring villages, driving into the Vosges mountains. The restaurants we went to, au Dolder and and la Grenouille, were very good with a choice of general and local dishes. Ancient Riquewihr after dark in the middle of winter is most impressive.

paesino un po' troppo commerciale e turistico

Soggiorno in un paese stupendo e romantico appartamento piccolino ma confortevole c'Ăš tutto per trascorrere un paio di giorni in relax. Un po' caro, non mi Ăš piaciuta la signora che gestiva la location, Voleva farci pagare due volte la tassa di soggiorno, L'avevamo pagata il primo giorno e alla fine della settimana ci ha chiesto di nuovo il pagamento, furbetta!

Beautiful accommodation in a beautiful village

I can't recommend enough. Superb communication from the owners and manager, Valerie. Riquewhir is absolutely amazing and never fails to captivate. It also takes on a new life after dark. There are many surrounding villages and towns that are also worth a look. Colmar in particular has all you could ever want from a Christmas market. This accommodation has been sympathetically restored to suits it's ancient surroundings and has also been cleverly designed in order to make a small space comfortable and convenient. We had a wonderful time and will definitely return again!

WohlfĂŒhl-AtmosphĂ€re auf kleinem Raum

Perfekt eingerichtete Ferienwohnung. Gut durchdachtes Konzept. Trotz altem GemĂ€uer muss man nicht auf moderne Annehmlichkeiten verzichten. Man ist direkt in Riquewihr. HĂŒbsche GeschĂ€fte und jede Menge Restaurants laden fußlĂ€ufig zum Genießen ein. Trotz zentraler Lage in der Stadtmauer, hat man abends und morgens idyllische Ruhe. Aus dem Fenster kann man auf die Weinberge in der Abendsonne schauen.

Agréable - Confortable - Pratique - Propre

Etre au coeur de Riquewihr a Ă©tĂ© bien agrĂ©able. Des explications prĂ©cises m'ont Ă©tĂ© donnĂ©es pour arriver facilement sur place, et des consignes claires sont apportĂ©es lors de l'installation. L'appartement est fonctionnel. Tout le confort est lĂ . La dĂ©coration est faite avec bon goĂ»t et les lieux sont propres jusqu'au moindre dĂ©tail. Le lit est trĂšs confortable et il y a de quoi ĂȘtre autonome au niveau des repas (le coin cuisine est Ă©quipĂ©), mĂȘme si de bons restaurants existent Ă  proximitĂ©, comme le Throttus, Le Bar Ă  Sushi, le Dolder et les restaurants de Jean-Luc Brendel. Ils m'ont Ă©tĂ© conseillĂ©s par les Remparts de Riquewihr et effectivement, j'ai passĂ© un bon moment. Cet appartement de petite taille est l'idĂ©al pour une ou deux personnes lorsqu'on vient pour travailler sur le secteur de Riquewihr ou Colmar, ou pour marcher dans les vignes. C'est un bon pied Ă  terre. Quant au prix, il est moins Ă©levĂ© que certaines chambres d'hĂŽtel que je peux occuper au fil de mes dĂ©placements, alors que l'espace est plus grand et le confort meilleur. Je reviendrai et recommande le refuge du Lutin, aux Remparts de Riquewihr.
