About this property

Vacation home (up to 15 pers.), sauna, 7 rooms, 6 bathrooms, dogs allowed, garage

In the heart of the Vosges Mountains, between Gérardmer and St. Dié, lies our newly renovated "Villa Sphinx": the ideal accommodation for families and groups of up to 15 people.

Five of the double rooms feature their own very modern bathrooms with walk-in showers. Two additional beds can be added to one of the rooms.
A sixth double room is connected via a bathroom to a seventh room with bunk beds, making it ideal for use as a family room.

The completely renovated kitchen is specially equipped for groups and features two ovens and two dishwashers.

The heart of the villa is the spacious, open-concept living and dining room. The large table offers plenty of space for shared meals. The highlight of the living room is the large open fireplace, which creates a cosy atmosphere on cooler days.

A separate room features a foosball table and a bar area, perfect for social evenings.

The large, park-like property with a spacious terrace and a built-in grill is surrounded by a hedge and offers plenty of space for sunbathing, relaxing, playing, and enjoying barbecues together.

Nature lovers will find plenty to enjoy here. Various hiking trails begin right behind the house, or you can use the nearby “voie verte” path for bike rides, inline skating, or walking.

Various mountain bike trails are also directly accessible from the house.

The on-site garage provides space for two cars or for storing bicycles and motorcycles. Additional parking is available directly on the property.

All the major stores for daily necessities, as well as various restaurants, are within walking distance.

In the summer, several nearby lakes are perfect for water sports or swimming. The well-known town of Gérardmer is only about 15 minutes away from this accommodation and offers all kinds of recreational activities.

In the winter, the ski resorts of Gérardmer, La Bresse, and Lac Blanc are about 20 minutes away.

A stay at the villa is also ideal for excursions to “Le Hohneck” on the Vosges ridge (Route des Crêtes) or to Alsace. Our guests receive a comprehensive leisure guide upon booking. We’re happy to assist with planning your stay and are available throughout your visit with tips and insider information.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Amazing house for a family trip!

We had an incredible family trip staying at Villa Sphinx! The spacious and comfortable layout provided ample room for everyone, and the amenities exceeded our expectations. The kids/adults were thrilled with the ping pong table and foosball game, providing endless entertainment. Overall, a wonderful experience that we'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable getaway.

Cycling trip to see the Vosges

Superb location for cycling. Routes available in all directions and with a decent amount of climbing too. The gîte is as good as one can get, all the facilities are spot on. It’s located in a quiet position with easy access to the shops/Super U in Anould. With a very helpful host too, it doesn’t get much better.

Parenthèse Vosgienne

Très belle demeure pour un weekend en famille nombreuse. Tout y est, c'est comme à la maison et même plus avec un sauna mis à disposition. Les propriétaires sont aux p'tits soins. Les lits sont faits, serviettes mises à disposition ainsi que les torchons de vaisselle en cuisine. Grand frigo américain, deux lave vaisselle et deux fours.Bref, avec le soleil , le weekend fût fantastique.

Wochenende in den Vogesen

Wir waren über's Wochenende 2 Nächte in den Vogesen. Das Wetter hätte wärmer sein können. Hat der Stimmung aber nicht geschadet, denn dafür hatten wir im Haus einen großen Kachelofen im Wohnzimmer der eingeheizt hat. Das Haus ist exakt so wie beschrieben. Die Zimmer sind neu und schön. Ich kann das Haus nur empfehlen.

Anniversaire/Geburtstag

Wir hatten wunderbare Tage in der Villa Sphinx!Grund war mein Geburtstag, den ich mit meinen Geschwistern/Freunden plus Familie feierte. Es begann mit einer problemlosen und freundlichen Kommunikation sowie Übergabe.Das Haus hat viele Pluspunkte, fast jedes Zimmer mit tollem Bad, sehr nett eingerichtet undausreichend ausgestattet mit Handtüchern und Bettwäsche,die Sauna (auch dort Handtücher vorhanden), der Kicker und auch die Tischtennisplatte.Nicht zu vergessen der Grill. war bei uns auch im Februar nutzbar. Die Küche ist auch reichhaltig ausgestattet, genügend Geschirr und Geräte. Der Kaffeevollautomat ist natürlich auch klasse.Wir saßen gerne zusammen am Tisch, aber auch das Wohnzimmer ist sehr behaglich.Im Ort sind Geschäfte, und die Landschaft natürlich auch wunderschön! (unsere Ziele z.B. der See in Geradmer und das Skigebiet La Bresse-Hohneck).Alles im allem sehr zu empfehlen, gerne würden wir es wieder buchen.Danke Dominika für alles!problufreundlichenKommunikation,

Immer wieder gerne!

Die Kommunikation im Vorfeld war super und sehr schnell. Der Empfang am Haus sehr freundlich inklusive Führung. Auch der Check-out wurde an uns angepasst. Insgesamt hat das Haus sehr viel zu bieten und wir haben nichts vermisst. Wir hatten zwar nur eine Nacht, aber für alle beteiligten hat das Haus einen bleibenden Eindruck hinterlassen und der eine oder andere wird es sich auch merken um wieder einmal zu kommen. Rundum sehr schöner Aufenthalt und auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen.
