Very comfortable modern well equipped apartment
This is a light and comfortable apartment with good views of the castle and vines from the seating area outside. Large bed and two wonderful showers! The kitchen was well equipped for self catering with saucepans, cooking utensils, coffee maker, kettle etc. A few more mugs and glasses would be useful. We had a very relaxing stay here in Alken and are hoping to return next year.
Beatific property, ideal for walking and sightseei
Beautifully furnished ground floor accommodation with everything you might need. Owner was friendly and helpful and spoke enough English to communicate with us (we speak very little german). The view of the castle is impressive from the decking.
The castle is worth a visit and there are very good waymarked paths which go through Alken. The village is a very short walk where there are nice restaurants and a few shops including a small supermarket and a bakery.
Cochem is a bigger town with lots of shops, restaurants a cable car and a castle. It's an easy drive, boat ride or train journey. The pleasure boat from Alken is a leisurely way to see the river and it's locks. If you like bigger cities Koblenz is close too.
The Mosel is a beautiful river which also has an easy cycle path along it.

Sehr schöne Ferienwohnung
In der Ferienwohnung fühlt man sich sofort zu Hause, denn sie ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und verfügt über alles was man zum wohlfühlen braucht.
Keurig nette en complete vakantiewoning.
Wij (mijn vrouw en ik) hebben tijdens ons 10 daags verblijf in Alken genoten van deze keurig nette en complete vakantiewoning. De E-Nikes konden we stallen in de garage naast de voordeur, waar we ook een contactdoos aanwezig is om de accus's op te laden. We konden in het appartement beschikken over 2 badkamers, wat we als heel praktisch hebben ervaren. De eigenaresse heeft moeite gedaan om onze vakantie tot een succes te maken. We hebben tips voor leuke uitstapjes gekregen, maar ook zijn we vol lof over de wijze van communiceren en behulpzaamheid. Het appartement is super netjes, schoon, compleet en met smaak ingericht. In de plaats Alken zijn fijne en niet dure restaurants, war je heerlijk kunt eten. Ook een bezoek aan een lokale wijnproeverij (er zijn vele) is zeker aan te bevelen. Ook een bezoek aan de burcht achter het appartement was heel bijzonder. Er zijn teveel mooie plekken in de omgeving om deze een goede waardering te geven. Wij hebben iets met de Moezel en haar prachtige omgeving en historie. Kortom: Een super vakantie gehad in een super appartement. De eigenaresse heeft bij ons wel een heel bijzondere plaats gekregen. Wij zullen deze locatie zeker bij onze vrienden als positief aanbevelen.
