Being able to stand in the Gite and lean out the window right into the Main Street of Riquewihr was something out of a fairy tale. The room is very nice, well equipped, beds were comfortable. There is a very steep interior staircase leading up to the second floor, for which I had to keep a close eye on my toddler but the keypad access was very convenient and like I said the location is unbeatable. Being able to be out in the village and dawn and dusk was really nice and you can avoid a lot of crowds, plus you get to feel like a local.

Cottage "the Jewel" is truly a jewel in Riquewihr! Fédéric responded to my questions before our visit within a few hours and his wife Florence met us when we arrived. The apartment is located on the main street with wonderful views of the street and the vines on the slopes above. The bedroom has two beds, the bathroom is big with a good shower, a washing machine and even an iron! Although we didn't use the kitchen, it was well stocked. Riquewihr is ideally located on the route des vins and it's loaded with charm. There are many restaurants and each of our meals was excellent. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Riquewihr! Note that there are about 20 steps up to the apartment, so it's not suited for people with mobility issues. Thank you, Fédéric and Florence for a wonderful three days!

Lovely, comfortable gite in charming village

My husband and I enjoyed 9 nights in this beautiful apartment. All was as stated; Frederic and Florence took care of all details, such as parking pass, linens and bike rentals, before our late hour arrival. They were available to answer any and all questions and could not have been friendlier. The apartment was perfect for two people and had all necessary equipment/tools in the kitchen. The beds were also quite comfortable for good rest. We would certainly return to this apartment without hesitation.

Perfect place to stay in Riquewihr

We loved our week in the gite ‘’L’Ecrin’, which is above a Creperie in the main street, so perfectly situated to enjoy the daily life of the village. There are lovely walks through the vineyards to nearby villages and it’s not far to drive to Colmar or Strasbourg. The gite had everything we could possibly want for an enjoyable week and is renovated to a high standard. Frederic was a pleasure to deal with, friendly, informative, and very efficient. He organised parking coupons for the week before we arrived which certainly made life easier. I totally recommend a stay in Le gite L’Ecrin.

Lovely apartment in a lovely village in a lovely area

Frederic was a superb host and was there to meet us when we arrived. The apartment is very spacious and the beds comfortable-bathroom excellent too - our only quibble was that it is really hot at night and we feel it needs a fan of some sort - we left the windows open which isn't ideal - Sorry to moan because overall we loved it.

Verblijf goed en in orde, maar....het woningnummer 17 staat niet op de voorgevel van het gebouw....Niemand kon ons met zekerheid nummer 17 aanduiden...er stond geen enkele aanduiding naar de gite L'Ecrin, tenzij is door de zon 'afgeschenen' naam tussen drie of vier namen onder elkaar naast de bel. Zelfs de dienst Toerisme, 50 m van de gite verwijderd, kende de gite niet.Ik had van de eigenaar begrepen dat hij ons om 16 uur zou opwachten, maar alles bleek plots te werken met 2 codes om eerst in het gebouw te geraken en nadien in het verblijf zelf. Die info werd ons pas gestuurd tijdens de reis, niet erg lang voor onze aankomst. Dat was wel een zeer slecht punt!

Der Ort ist wunderschön und die Unterkunft sowie die Abwicklung mit dem Vermieter ist hervorragend. Die Parkplatzsituation ist allerdings katastrophal. Kostenlose ParkplĂ€tze sind nicht vorhanden. DauergĂ€ste mĂŒssen fĂŒr eine Parkkarte €3,50/Tag bezahlen was auch zumutbar wĂ€re. Allerdings ist das keine Garantie fĂŒr einen Parkplatz. Durch die hohe Zahl an TagesgĂ€sten ist es von ca. 9:00Uhr bis ca. 17:00Uhr unmöglich einen Parkplatz zu finden.
