I truely enjoyed this fine place with all amenities, very kind hosts, situation,. Situated in very quiet place close to good shopping and a variety of cultural sites. Very recommendable!
We enjoyed our stay in the house. Was very spacious, light clean and well equipped.
We enjoyed walking from the house to Frankenbourg Castle. Brilliant location and friendly host.
Lovely and comfortable house with all amenities and a large garden. The house is quietly located in a small village in the hills with a beautiful view of the surroundings. Great walking area and nice villages and castles to visit.
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le gîte, très propre, joliment décoré, très fonctionnel avec une bonne literie ! Les photos ne lui rendent pas assez hommage. Notre hôte était très accueillante et de bon conseil sur la région. Très réactive également, nous avons eu un souci avec la cuisinière réglé dans la journée. En prime une délicate attention à notre arrivée : du jus de pomme maison fait avec les pommes du jardin.Nous y séjournerons à nouveau avec plaisir si nous revenons en Alsace !
Emplacement idéal pour randonnées et découverte de l'Alsace
Très bon accueil ; Edwige nous a donné toutes les informations utiles et nécessaires pour faciliter notre séjour : courses, prendre le train pour se rendre à Strasbourg...Logement soigné, grande salle de jeux en sous-sol dont on bien profité les enfants.Sommes ravis de notre séjour. Nous avons signalé a Edwige que le fer à repasser ne pouvait pas être utilisé en l'état !
Trés belle découverte : gîte Trés spacieux, Trés lumineux, Trés bien aménagé, beaucoup d'espace et de jeux pour les enfants.Très bien situé pour de nombreuses visites et dans 1 écrin de nature. Accueil chaleureux de l'hôte. Je recommande fortement ce gîte.
Superbe séjour. Le gîte est très propre et très accueillant. Tout est très bien pensé. On s y sent comme à la maison. Magnifique vue. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour.
Nous sommes enchantés par ce séjour au gîte de la fontaine.
Il est totalement conforme à la description voir mieux .
Notre hôte a été réactive et charmante lors de nos échanges.
Sehr schönes Ferienhaus, gut gelegen mit schönem Ausblick und sehr schöner Terrasse. Sehr sauber und super ausgestattet. Man kann direkt vom Haus aus einige Wanderungen unternehmen. Sehr gute Boulangerie in Liepvre (ca. 5min. mit dem Auto (Sonntags geschlossen)). Alles in allem ganz hervorragend!
Très belle et grande maison avec vue sur les montagnes. Repas sur la terrasse accompagné des chants d'oiseaux et au fond du jardin visite des biquettes.
Propriétasympssssympathique
Bezüglich der Check-in-Zeit und der Check-out-Zeit kam uns die Vermieterin entgegen, so dass wir Sachen im Haus deponieren und den Tag vor Ort nutzen konnten.
Das Ferienhaus ist gemütlich, geschmackvoll und funktionell ausgestattet. Gut gefiel uns, dass man sowohl in der Küche als auch im Wohn-Esszimmer essen kann. Vom Wohn-Esszimmer aus hat man einen wunderschönen Blick auf die gegenüberliegenden Berge.
Auch die weitere Ausstattung des Hauses ist prima. Es ist alles vorhanden: Gartenmöbel, Grill, Tischtennisplatte, Kinderspielzeug, Bücher, CDs, Karten und Infomaterial. Alles perfekt!
Und die Vermieterin ist sehr freundlich!
Wir würden gerne wiederkommen!
We hebben een erg prettig verblijf gehad in dit grote en schone vakantiehuis. Fijne ontvangst van de gastvrouw en haar zus. Bij aankomst 2 flessen zelfgemaakte appelsap gekregen. Erg lekker! Goede bedden en matrassen. Prachtige plek met prachtig uitzicht. Aan te raden!
Belle maison, bien entretenue, superbe vue sur les montagnes. Départ de randonnées tout proche à pieds. Edwige et sa soeur ont été très accueillantes. Parfait pour rayonner sur la région !
