If you are looking to rent a gite in Alsace whose location allows you to visit the region easily, I have found a good address in Urschenheim, near Colmar.
Nathalie and Joël, a friendly and welcoming couple, are the owners of two gîtes that they have completely renovated themselves in the outbuildings of their house: the cowshed has been transformed into a gîte for 4 people and the bread oven building into a gîte for 2 people. Their house and the two gites are in the same place but each has a minimum of privacy: there is space, and each building has its own terrace.
I stayed in the Joel gite, for 2 people. It is on two floors, with a living area, an open kitchen and a bathroom (with shower) downstairs and a bedroom upstairs. It is not huge but perfect for two people, especially since the rooms are very well arranged. The atmosphere is cosy, especially since it is possible to light a fire in the living room! I had a big crush on this fireplace: an evening by the fire, there is nothing better! Moreover, the place is clean and the decoration is well done.
As far as equipment is concerned, the gite has everything you need: induction cooker, crockery, coffee machine, kettle, hair dryer, baby bed… It is also possible to rent bed linen and towels, as well as mountain bikes.
The gîtes are located in Urschenheim, east of Colmar in the Alsace plain. It is a small village that is really nothing special but the location is interesting: it is easy from Urschenheim to go and visit Colmar, Strasbourg, Mulhouse, the Wine Route or spend a day at Europa Park in Germany.
I liked
- Nice, clean and well-equipped gîte
- Fireplace in the gîte Joel
- Very nice welcome from the owners
I liked less
- Convenient location but the village itself has no particular charm
