Sehr schön und entspannend

Der Aufenthalt war angenehm und ruhig. Das Haus hat eine gute Ausstattung, es hat an nichts gefehlt. Direkt vor der Haustüre liegt der Wald, was perfekt für Wanderungen ist. Der Garten ist schön und lädt an Pool und Whirlpool zum Verweilen ein. Die Vermieter Sabine und Didier sind sehr zuvorkommend und wären im Fall der Fälle immer ansprechbar. Wir hatten hier eine ruhige und sehr angenehme Auszeit .

Alles war perfekt!

Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Für uns als begeisterte Fahrradfahrerinnen waren die schöne Landschaft und die verkehrsarmen Strassen einfach ideal. Das Haus bot viel Platz und war mit den beiden Balkonen für jedes Wetter angenehm. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Freundlichkeit, die Hilfsbereitschaft und die sorgsame Pflege des Gartens und des Pools. Vielen dank. Wir können uns gut einen weiteren Aufenthalt in diesem friedlichen Dorf vorstellen.

Toller Urlaub

Super entspannter Urlaub. Total ruhig. Kirchenglocken und Vögelgezwitscher waren die meisten Geräusche. Direkt vom Haus aus kann man wandern gehen. Pool und Wirlpool laden zum Entspannen ein. Wir wurden sehr freundlich auf deutsch empfangen. Betten waren gemacht und Handtücher lagen beteit. Selbst eine Flasche Sekt gab es zum Empfang und Knabbersach sowie verschiedene Getränke. Das Haus ist schön und persönlich eingerichtet. Würde jeder Zeit wieder hin gehen.

Perfekter Urlaub für Ruhesuchende und Naturliebhaber!

Wir können uns allen positiven Bewertungen nur anschließen. Die überdachte Terrasse konnte man wunderbar für gemeinsame Mahlzeiten und Spieleabende (auch bei Regen, den hatten wir in 2 Wochen nur einmal!) nutzen. Als eine unserer Luftmatratzen für den von uns viel genutzten, sehr gepflegten Pool kaputt ging, brachte uns Didier am nächsten Tag eine neue. Sabine und Didier liegt das Wohl ihrer Gäste am Herzen. Es ist alles da, was man braucht. Wir möchten also Danke sagen für einen traumhaft ruhigen und erholsamen Familienurlaub im schönen Sturzelbronn!

Supersauber, gemütlich, wunderschöne Gegend

Alles in allem ein superschönes, gemütliches, kleines Häuschen mit genug Platz für sechs Erwachsene. Die Ausstattung war sehr gut, wir haben den Abend im Whirlpool sehr genossen. Die Betten waren bereits bezogen, es gab einen kleinen Willkommens-Trunk, und das Haus war frisch durch gelüftet und beheizt worden. Das Eichhörnchenthema der Einrichtung hat uns besonders gefallen. Die Gegend ist absolut wundervoll, sanfte, waldige Hügel, geprägt von viel Geschichte, sehr netten Leute und Natur pur. Der naheliegende Luchsfelsen lädt zu einer kurzen Wanderung ein, welche wir direkt mit einer größeren Runde um Sturzelbronn herum verbunden haben. Die Wanderwege fanden wir grandios, nicht zu schwierig, nicht zu leicht. Außerdem nicht zu viele breit ausgebaute Forststraßen sondern mehr engere Pfade, die auch etwas Outdoor-Survival-Romantik aufkommen lassen. Nicht geeignet für Rollstühle oder Kinderwagen, aber welcher Wanderweg ist das schon, außerdem hatten wir das Problem selbst nicht. Außerdem sehr zu empfehlen das ortsansässige Restaurant (Au Relais des Bois), Hervorragendes Essen, eine gute Auswahl an Weinen, nette, familiäre Atmosphäre und zu moderaten Preisen (ungefähr 250€ für 6 Personen bei Vorspeise, Hauptgang, Dessert, Wein und Wasser). Das Restaurant war auf jeden Fall eines der täglichen Highlights, auf das wir uns abends wirklich schon gefreut haben. Der Check-In Vorgang lief vollkommen Kontaktlos, den Check-Out haben wir aus eigenem Anlass dann persönlich bei Didier durchgezogen (an dieser Stelle nochmal vielen Dank!). Es lief alles reibungslos, stressfrei und zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit, deshalb auch die anstandslosen fünf Sterne!

2 semaines passées dans ce gîte tout confort. La météo de la première semaine plutôt mitigée nous a permis de visiter les différents musées et points d’interêt de la région et ils sont nombreux ! Le seconde semaine nettement plus clémente nous a permis d’arpenter les chemins de randonnée du parc régional des Vosges du nord et c’est un pur régal ! Une magnifique découverte confortée par la gentillesse des habitants de la région.

Prima vakantiehuis, gastvrije hosts. Huis is zeer rustig gelegen en is zeer schoon.Helaas maar 1 badkamer/ wc, echt te weinig voor 5 personen. Oubollige inrichting in woonkamer en keuken. Goede bedden. Jammer dat je vanuit de keuken niet rechtstreeks de tuin in kunt, je moet via de voordeur rondom het huis lopen om bij t zwembad en terras te komen.
