Many thanks for this kind review.
It was very nice to meet you.
You were lovely and perfect guests, leaving the appartment in impeccable state.
We wish you still a beautiful stay in Europe.
Delightful owner. Very clean. Well located in Alsace, but very peaceful and quiet. Outstanding restaurant in the village. Only minor niggle - bathroom towels are too small, so guests might wish to bring a couple of spares (and certainly your own bathing towels if planning to swim).
Gîte très propre et confortable, proche de toutes les villes à visiter.Nous avons été accueillis très chaleureusement par Sylvie qui ne manque pas de petites attentions. Nous recommandons ce Gîte les yeux fermés.Au plaisir d'y retourner.

Merci beaucoup pour votre gentil commentaire. Bonne continuation et au plaisir de vous revoir.
Très beau gîte, une propriétaire agréable avec qui on peut discuter, qui nous indique les lieux à visiter dans le secteur, qui fait un bel accueil avec un kouglof. Le logement est vraiment bien, la pièce centrale de vie est assez spacieuse comme la chambre, il y a une terrasse agréable, c'est très calme. Et c'est bien situé entre Colmar et Mulhouse, facile pour aller visiter les beaux villages d'Alsace... Un lieu à retenir pour profiter de cette belle région...
Gîte très agréable. Bravo aux gentils propriétaires !
Séjour très agréable dans ce calme et joli gîte très bien équipé, bien situé et dont les propriétaires sont très attentionnés envers leurs locataires. En ces périodes de fêtes, nous avons aimé la jolie décoration de Noël du logement et pour la St Sylvestre, Sylvie nous a offert un kouglof et la bouteille de pétillant pour fêter le nouvel an.
Nous ne pouvons que conseiller ce gîte très agréable.

Bien cordialement, Sylvie
Wir haben bei herrlichem Sommerwetter eine hervorragende Herbsturlaubswoche im Elsass verbracht. Die Ferienwohnung ist super gepflegt und bietet alle Annehmlichkeiten, die einem den Aufenthalt zusätzlich verschönern. Dazu gehört insbesondere auch die Ruhe, die man dort genießen kann. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit und steht für Fragen jederzeit gerne zur Verfügung. Wir können diese Ferienunterkunft sehr gerne weiterempfehlen.
Efter en mere fin velkomst med hjemmebagt kage har vi nydt opholdet i den dejlige feriebolig hvor der ikke manglede noget. Et fantastisk sødt værtspar der gjorde alt for at vi skulle nyde vores ophold

Merci beaucoup pour votre gentil commentaire. Vous êtes une très belle rencontre.

Die Ferienwohnung ist sehr schön, liegt im Erdgeschoss des Hauses der Vermieter, mit eigener Terrasse, und dem Zugang zum großen Garten, und wunderschönem Ausblick direkt vor der Tür. Die Wohnung ist modern, sehr praktisch und schön eingerichtet, uns hat nichts gefehlt! Sie ist ebenfalls perfekt für die längeren Aufenthalte, denn es ist alles da, vom Bügelbrett und Staubsauger bis hin zu Waschmaschine und Wäscheständer. Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend, hat uns herzlich empfangen. Und es gab auch eine sehr leckere Willkommensüberraschung)
Wer die Ruhe sucht, ist hier goldrichtig, gelegen mitten im Weingut bieten sich die Spaziergänge oder Radtouren im Wald oder entlang den Weinhängen an. Aber auch die Stadtbummler kommen auf ihre Kosten: es sind nur 20 min bis Colmar.
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen, vielen Dank. Und klare Weiterempfehlung!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette location conforme en tout point à sa description.
La pièce de vie est spacieuse et l'emplacement très calme.
La place de parking privative et sécurisée est un atout.
Le cadeau de bienvenue a été également très apprécié.
Colmar est proche grâce à la 2x2 voie.
