Architektenhaus in der Nähe von Ribeauvillé und Colmar.

Sehr schönes, helles, modern eingerichtetes Ferienhaus am Dorfrand von Bergheim. Ruhig gelegen, aber nur 5 min zu Fuß zum Bäcker, Lebensmittelhändler und Restaurants. 4 Klimageräte bei Außentemparaturen über 30 Grad top. Pünktliche Übergabe mit freundlicher Einweisung in die Technik: W-Lan, Klima, Whirlpool, Beleuchtung, Küche. Sehr zu empfehlen.

This rental property was perfect for our 10-night stay. Top features for the two of us were the air conditioning, the location, the quiet, having a clothes washer, the overall comfort (beds, couch etc.), and the kindness and help of Mr. Haller, the owner. And the jacuzzi. Sheer curtains over the gigantic wall of windows were installed just prior to our arrival, and they worked perfectly. No sunglasses needed indoors (as mentioned by previous viewer), yet the view was not obstructed. I liked that the shower water temperature can be set and comes on instantly at that temperature (wish I had this at home!)

As the owner clearly represents on his VRBO/HomeAway page, he speaks French and German. As primarily English speakers ourselves, we still felt comfortable to rent, and we were right. Together with Mr. Haller, we used phone apps to quickly translate and clearly communicate with no trouble at all. It was part of the fun!

We also were pleased with our choice of Bergheim. A handful of restaurants, open on different days, meant we could eat dinner within walking distance, which we did most days. Boulangerie for breakfast treats of course! And, there was never a problem with car parking (right at the house) or getting in and out of town, as it is not swarmed with tourists (but definitely so charming and worth a visit.)

Another unexpected plus for this town is the pharmacy. Bergheim's includes a specialty in orthopedics. When I got a blister on my foot and had some never-experienced-before ankle swelling (lots of walking in hot temps), the pharmacist examined me and measured me for compression socks and put them on me and applied the blister bandage herself! She was very kind and even spoke English. (This service is not done in U.S. pharmacies.)

We had been to other areas of France seven times before and can now add this to our list of ideal places to vacation in France. It was so easy to get to the Alsace region on the high-speed train from Paris (under 2 hours). And it is also very easy to drive to all the charming villages on the wine route. Thank you to Mr. Haller for creating a very special place to stay and for his wonderful help and responsiveness.

Nous avons passé une semaine au mois de juillet dans cet appartement moderne et tout confort qui est très fidèle à sa description sur le site. On se sent tout de suite très détendu. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le confort des deux chambres chacune avec une douche italienne, le calme, le jacuzzi, et la climatisation. Les propriétaires étaient très accueillants tout en restant discrets. On serait très heureux d'y revenir.

The house is beautiful, clean, sunny, well equipped, air-conditioned (4 units, 2 downstairs and one in each bedroom) and ideally located at the edge of Bergheim. The beds, the pillows, the sheets, the showers, everything is of high quality. (The only downside is that the living-room is in the sun till noon. We had to wear our sunglasses inside in the morning)

We first looked at houses in Colmar. We spent a day there. It’s a beautiful town, not to miss but it’s packed with tourists, loud and heavy traffic. We were so grateful to come back home to our quiet neighborhood in Bergheim and park right in front of the house. We loved to relax on the terrace and enjoy the jacuzzi. It was such a pleasure to walk around the village of Bergheim, it’s remparts and it’s vineyards (right behind the house) The little bakery was closed for part of our stay but there is a little convenient store a few minutes walk that also sells fresh bread everyday.

Bergheim is ideally located to visit all the little Alsaciens villages. Ribeauvillé is 6 minutes away, (13 minutes on bicycle) Riquewihr, 12 min, Colmar, 20min, Eguisheim and the Haut Koneigsbourg Castle, 25m. You can easily come home and take a nap in between visits.

Don’t hesitate. You won’t regret choosing this place.

The modern design and new construction of this home created a zen, relaxed atmosphere. Everything was very clean and fresh. The kitchen was fully appointed for cooking. Located on the edge of town, it is quiet, yet within quick walking distance of the center of town. We loved sitting on the back porch in the mornings and evenings, watching the gardeners next door tend their gardens. We also loved sitting in the hot tub in the evenings.

The owners are very kind and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed, answering our questions about restaurants and places to visit, etc. We loved the location of Bergheim for our visit to the Alsace region. It is a lovely town within short driving distance of many of the places we wanted to see.

We would definitely return. This lovely VRBO was the perfect end to our vacation.
