The Sentinel**** is a romantic apartment (50+ sqm). It is just coming out of complete restoration works and is welcoming its guests with an official 4 star comfort and decoration rating.Our expertise both in restoration and decoration works (see our other places for rent in Riquewihr and near Paris) makes sure that it offers ideal self catering accommodation for 2 persons with great value for money: 1 couple in the double room + 1 extra person possible (grown up child only, no young children, no adult), sleeping on an extra bed in the lounge. A romantic and elegant living space spreads over the first floor: lounge, kitchen and Alsatian 'stub' (dining area).This romantic flat is organised in a medieval house listed as a national heritage building (Monument Historique). It is embedded in the medieval rampart (defence wall built 1500) of Riquewihr, only some yards away of the famous fortified gates of the Obertor and the Dolder tower. On the mountainside, the medieval city wall is the western wall of the house. On the street side, it is an Alsacian traditional half-timber framed house. Decorated with great care and especially equipped for 1 couple looking for holiday accommodation on the Alsace wine route, at the foot of the Vosges and a few minutes of Colmar only. Some steep steps take you up from the street to the first floor, at the same level as the former covered defence way of the ramparts, where the medieval soldiers used to watch out for enemies, invaders or thiefs (therefore the name Sentinel)! The restoration works largely made use of the traditional techniques with organic and healthy materials (untreated wood, natural paintings with lime wash, no chemicals, etc). Authentic polychrome pieces of furniture and fabrics in Alsatian kelsch contribute to make this small house a real jewel. As we recently achieved it in the neighbour house this new flat combines charm and comfort and will be able to satisfy - Summer as Winter - those which appreciate and privilege before all the refined and authentic places… The fully equipped kitchen makes it possible to be perfectly autonomous. But do not forget that the many ones and excellent restaurants of the village (some of them being listed in the Michelin Red Guide) - with excellent value for money - are within walking distance.

Additional Information

For your comfort and your health, we are creating and restoring our vacation rental apartments (also called gites in France) with healthy and organic components delivered by local craftsmen and resources. The wood panels on the wall of the Sentinel**** are created in the traditional local way. Wood is coming from the forests growing on the Vosges mountains above Riquewihr. As in old times, the woodden boards are of different widths, according to the diameter of the trees they came from. Before they were tinted, woods were nourished with a lasure made with plants. The paintings, waxes and oils we used are natural and organic.The carpets of the bedrooms is a weaving of wool and flax. When you will walk barefoot on the cork ground of the bathroom, you will feel warm. The fabrics - primarily of flax woven by hand - come for the majority from Gander Weavings close to Sélestat… The lamp-shades were handmade. Lastly, to restore this so particular Alsatian environment as well as possible, the pieces of furniture are genuine Alsatian antiques.
