Some steep steps (the original historical stairway) take you up from the street to the first floor, at the same level as the former covered defense walk way of the ramparts, where the medieval soldiers used to watch out for enemies, invaders or thieves (therefore the name Sentinel)! \-> Make sure to watch the video posted above to discover the apartment, its beautiful surroundings and the way it is arranged. A romantic and elegant living space spreads over the first floor: spacious living room and kitchen. One level higher, within a beautiful carpenter work of the XVIIth Century, there is the bedroom with a comfortable king size bed and bathroom en suite. On the mountainside, the medieval city wall is the western wall of the house. On the street side, it is an Alsatian 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. 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. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car not required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Theme park nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 538 square feet ## Similar properties ![Front of property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/3000000/2760000/2750200/2750180/8e70f648.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hotel Des Deux Clefs Turckheim - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant - Breakfast available 8.8 Excellent 308 reviews £89 includes taxes & fees 27 Feb - 28 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-27&endDate=2026-02-28&selected=2750180&PinnedHotelID=2750180&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Indoor pool, open 10:00 AM to 7:30 PM, pool loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/3000000/2690000/2685400/2685355/28c34ccf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hotel Munsch Saint-Hippolyte - Pool - Breakfast included - Spa - Pet-friendly 8.0 Very good 292 reviews £89 includes taxes & fees 26 Feb - 27 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=2685355&PinnedHotelID=2685355&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Courtyard](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/2000000/1700000/1691700/1691655/c7519ca2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hôtel l'Abbaye d'Alspach Kaysersberg-Vignoble - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Gym 9.0 Wonderful 219 reviews £103 includes taxes & fees 21 Mar - 22 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-21&endDate=2026-03-22&selected=1691655&PinnedHotelID=1691655&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=91116867&PinnedHotelID=91116867&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=91116867,2750180,2685355,1691655) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available Minimum check-in age - 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Rules Latest check in is at 22:00 ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Note from host: Pets by arrangement ### Children and extra beds This property does not allow children Note from host: Adults Only ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.

Die Gastgeber sind herzlich, freundlich und entgegenkommend, vielen Dank!Unser kleiner Vierbeiner durfte auch mitkommen;) Riquewihr hat eine schöne historische Altstadt mit vielen Gässchen, kleinen Läden, Cafes und Restaurants und ist umgeben von Weinbergen. Der Ort ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt um die Umgebung zu erkunden. Colmar liegt nur 20 Minuten entfernt. ##### Marion L.

The apartment is lovely to look at, but unfortunately we found the bed to be miserably soft and uncomfortable. While the furniture looks nice, it is worn and uncomfortable as well. The apartment is adequately equipped and has many extra touches; it is a shame that the furniture does not match the rest of the apartment's charm. Unfortunately our stay was plagued by constant rain making it even more frustrating not to be able to come home and be comfortable. The apartment was very clean. The Sentinel is on the second floor with very steep and narrow steps. Requewihr is a lovely town and the Alsace region is beautiful. The town of Requewihr is a good place from which to explore the area. ##### Bettie E.

Einrichtung und Ausstattung der Wohnung sind auf höchstem Niveau. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 1 Sept 2010 #### Vacation Perfection in Riquewihr, France The Alsace region, the town of Riquewihr, the Sentinel apartment, and Jean-Paul and Martine provided us with an outstanding vacation experience - one that has stolen our hearts! The Sentinel apartment is as charming in person as it is online. It’s lovely, well maintained, well equipped with everything you need, and warm and inviting - the perfect home away from home. If you are in need of anything, a simple phone call to Valerie is immediately answered. Jean-Paul and Martine provided brochures and other information about the region which was extremely helpful in planning and getting the most out of our vacation days. With its location between the Vosges mountains and the vineyards, Riquewihr’s ambience is positively enchanting. The wines produced in the region are superb and the food is spectacular. We loved every restaurant we visited in Riquewihr. We would especially recommend Le Sarment d’Or for the food and experience and the outstanding wines of Maison Zimmer (Au Tire Bouchon Winstub). Plan on spending a substantial amount of time exploring Riquewihr and all it has to offer (like the open market on Friday!) and also venture out to Colmar, Ribeauville, and Strasbourg, as well as just about any other nearby town or city - each is unique, beautiful and rewarding. If you get the chance, meet the artist Christian Schwob, who created the artwork in the Sentinel, and perhaps purchase one of his pieces to memorialize your vacation. A highlight of our vacation in Riquewihr was the kindness and thoughtfulness of Jean-Paul and Martine. For a truly unforgettable vacation make your reservation in Riquewihr with the Krebs! Don’t wait another minute or you’ll miss the opportunity - their apartments book up quickly for a reason!

Wir haben uns unglaublich wohl gefühlt und eine entspannte Woche im Elsass verbringen können. Wir haben selten - auch zum Beispiel im Hinblick auf Küchenutensilien - ein so vollständig ausgestattetes Feriendomizil gemietet. Zudem ist die Betreuung durch Vermieter und Verwalterin ist vorzüglich: klar, präzise, pünktlich, ohne Missverständnisse. ##### Markus F.

Die Wohnung war genauso liebevoll und romantisch eingerichtet und mit einem tollen Comfort ausgestattet, wie im Internet beschrieben. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und einfach nur zu empfehlen, für romantische Tage, zum Wandern und um die kleinen Dörfer rund um Riquewihr zu besichtigen. Die Vermietung und die Abwicklung war sehr nett und sehr gut organisiert. Wir hatten einfach eine wunderschöne Zeit und werden ganz sicher wieder kommen.
