About this property

Refuge of the Imp***, Romantic Studio for 2 in the rampart of Riquewihr

This charming studio offers great comfort: Large double bed (160x200) + kitchenette + private bathroom (Spacious shower + wc). Wifi.

-> Make sure to watch the video posted above to discover the apartment, its beautiful surroundings and the way it is arranged.

The name of this studio is "Refuge du Lutin" in French. Which means "Refuge of the Imp". If you search the internet for imps, you will learn that of all dwarves imps are the smallest and the wisest. Imps are usually between 2 feet 2 inches and 3 feet 5 inches tall and mostly have fair, red or light brown hair and clear green, blue or grey eyes. Should you be somehow taller, you could still have a comfortable stay in this studio which is twice as large as many hotel rooms!

A German couple who spent 2 weeks in the studio described the place with some simple words: "Mini Apartment with Maxi Charm, small but never tight"...

The studio offers traditional Alsatian decoration and modern comfort. The layout of the studio makes the best out of the available space and will provide comfortable lodging for one couple looking for a charming and elegant holiday home at budget rate. This romantic studio is equipped with a large double bed (160 x 200 cm), a kitchenette with everything necessary for preparing meals + a dining corner and a private bath room with spacious shower and wc.


Finally, this little studio can provide a very pleasant and comfortable stay for a couple of days and even a week or so.
The studio apartment is part of the city walls (National Heritage) and does not have any terrace, balcony or any private space to sit outside. But it is overlooking the public garden of the Cour des Bergers (Shepherd's Square) where you can enjoy the benches opposite the magnificent scenery of the ramparts. The forest and vineyards are a mere 300 yards away: walks and picnic are waiting for you.

Silberhochzeit

Wir haben anlässlich unserer Silberhochzeit ein paar Tage in Riquewihr und dem kleinen Apartment verbracht. Wir waren sehr zufrieden, haben gut geschlafen in dem bequemen Bett. Das sehr kleine Zimmer ist für 2-3 Nächte ausreichend. Die gute Lage am Rande der Altstadt ermöglicht es, alles fußläufig zu erreichen.

Chambre tres bien equipee pour un court sejour a Riquewhir

Situé dans la veille ville, tout est pratique pour la visite, les departs en rando ou les excursions en voiture. L appartement est fonctionnel, bien ammenagé avec une belle salle de bain. Petit bemol, stationnement payant a prévoir non négligeable...

Die Unterkunft ist perfekt gelegen und ideal für einige Tage. Für einen längeren Aufenthalt sollte man lieber eine größere Unterkunft wählen. Man ist sehr schnell in den Restaurants, in der Woche ist das Angebot begrenzt. Parken ist nicht so einfach, man braucht da auch etwas Glück.

Wunderbar und niedlich

Wir haben die Unterkunft genauso angetroffen, wie auf dem Foto gezeigt. Dieses hatte es uns angetan, und genauso war es auch. Die Sitzecke optimal und sehr platzsparend, die Dusche ungewöhnlich gross, sodass man sich richtig bewegen kann. Wer ein sauberes "Puppenhäuschen" mag, dem sei es sehr empfohlen. Wer einfach eine Unterkunft sucht, hat auch das. Herzlicher Empfahng, einfache Formalitäten, alles bestens.

paesino un po' troppo commerciale e turistico

Soggiorno in un paese stupendo e romantico appartamento piccolino ma confortevole c'è tutto per trascorrere un paio di giorni in relax. Un po' caro, non mi è piaciuta la signora che gestiva la location, Voleva farci pagare due volte la tassa di soggiorno, L'avevamo pagata il primo giorno e alla fine della settimana ci ha chiesto di nuovo il pagamento, furbetta!
