    Charming and elegant vacation rentals of the Rempart of the Year 1291

    They form a set of 6 exceptional lodgings around a small garden: 4 of them are located in an old Renaissance house built in the year 1580 on the first rampart of Riquewihr erected in 1291. The property faces the famous vineyard the Schoenenbourg which dominates the village; 2 other apartments complete the series in an adjacent house dating from the 17th century.

    All these lodgings have been designed to meet the new 5-star standards for the furnished tourist apartments category.

    A small garden with a medieval design gives an exquisite touch of refinement to this original ensemble.
