About this property

The WHITE STORK***** - loft & panoramic views

✨ 🏰 THE WHITE STORK: LUXURY PENTHOUSE 🏰 ✨

📍 PANORAMIC VIEW | 2 GUESTS | 3RD FLOOR | PRIVATE TERRACE

🦅 REACH NEW HEIGHTS A symbol of luck and serenity in Alsace, "La Cigogne Blanche" is our most exclusive refuge. This luxury loft, nestled at the very top of our Renaissance mansion, offers a unique "nest" experience between the sky and ancient stones.

🍷 A PRIVATE BELVEDERE The jewel of this penthouse is its covered terrace, an absolute rarity in the historic center. A suspended space to:

📸 SPECTACULAR VIEW: Contemplate the sea of ancient tiles of the village and the rows of the Grand Cru Schoenenbourg vineyards. ⛰️ DISTANT HORIZON: On a clear day, let your gaze wander beyond the Rhine plain to the peaks of the Black Forest.

💎 "HEALTHY LUXURY" AT THE SUMMIT Under the exposed framework bathed in white light, we have maintained our ethical restoration:

⚪ PURE ATMOSPHERE: A tone-on-tone decoration that lets the wood and light speak for themselves. 🌿 SLOW-LIVING BATHROOM: A wellness space designed with natural materials and handcrafted without volatile chemicals.

🛋️ AMENITIES & SERVICES 🍳 High-end fully equipped kitchen ❄️ AIR CONDITIONING (Energy-efficient Air/Air heat pump) ⚡ Ultra-fast Fiber Optic Wi-Fi 🌙 Absolute calm, above the world.

At the Remparts de Riquewihr, we offer 9 exceptional gites, from a small studio to larger luxury apartments.

Charming and luxury gites of the Rempart of the Year 1291

They form a set of 6 exceptional lodgings around a small garden: 4 of them are located in an old Renaissance house built in the year 1580 on the first rampart of Riquewihr erected in 1291. The property faces the famous Schoenenbourg vineyard which overlooks the village; 2 other apartments complete the series in an adjacent house dating from the 17th century.

All these lodgings have been designed to meet the new 5-star standards for the furnished tourist apartments category.

A small garden with a medieval design gives an exquisite touch of refinement to this original ensemble.

The lodgings of the Rempart of the Year 1500

A set of 3 romantic, elegant and comfortable lodgings, decorated in the purest Alsatian tradition. These exceptional lodgings are located on the second belt of ramparts of Riquewihr, completed in the year 1500.

The walls on the west side of our gîtes are made of the rampart itself. The facades on the east side have the appearance of typical Alsatian half-timbered houses. They are quietly located.

Holiday Delight!

A most beautiful place for the two of us. Wonderfully decorated and appointed that made our holiday just perfect. The place was as described and beautiful. The kitchen was equipped with all the necessities and the living space was very comfortable. The bedroom was large and welcoming. The town was right around the corner giving us convenience to the shops but peaceful being away from the crowds. Just perfect! We will be back!

Perfect Apartment in Lovely village

Lovely 12 day stay. The apartment is very nice and well equipped. There is nothing we needed to be more comfortable. The owner was very accommodating the one time we needed assistance. The location of the apartment could not have been more perfect. It truly is one of the most beautiful towns in the Alsace area. You can visit most areas in Alsace but do not miss the town Kayserberg. We actually visited it twice. We highly recommend staying at the White Stork.

Beautiful charming apartment

My husband and I stayed here for 4 days and loved the apartment The reservation process was easy, check in smooth, and professional. The White Stork is the best of all our vacation VRBO rentals. I can't think of any negatives about our stay. The White Stork is beautifully furnished and charming and has all the needed amenities---kitchen well stocked, bathroom bright and clean, comfy bed, and beautiful views over the tiled rooftops and onto the rolling hilly vineyards. My husband walked to the bakery every morning to buy fresh buttery croissants to drink with coffee before setting off on our hikes or touring the other small villages. We sat on the balcony enjoying the Alsatian wines and terrific views in the afternoon before walking the few steps to dinner in charming Riquewihr. The parking provided was in a secure car park but the entire village felt safe. I know the owner has other apartments available(some smaller, others larger) and I would not hesitate to book any of them.

Absolutely Perfect

This is the nicest apartment we've ever rented. A historic property that has modern touches for added comfort yet retains the old world charm we were seeking. The kitchen has high end appliances and every pan, utensil, or food item you'll want. I was happy to find high end bedding and pillows- and I almost never find the pillows I need. Perhaps our favorite feature was the ample size porch overlooking colorful houses and old-tiled roofs. Luckily the porch is covered as we had a thunderstorm one evening but we were able to stay out and enjoy it. Jean-Paul was always available by messaging and his multi-lingual binder was full of information on dining, wineries and literally everything else under the sun. I don't know who was responsible for furnishings and design but literally everything was perfect. My wife thought the style was so stunning that a woman had to be in charge of designing. I don't know, but somebody has an incredible eye for style. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting something, but whatever I'm forgetting was perfect. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to stay in such a wonderfully preserved piece of history. We hope to return one day and I give it my highest recommendation.

Fantastique et chaleureux

Désireuse de faire visiter l’Alsace à mon compagnon, j’ai pris ce gîte situé sur le traditionnel parcours touristique de la route des vins. Arrivés sur place, nous avons pu nous garer en cette saison creuse, au pied des remparts et accéder en quelques mètres à notre hébergement . Et quel hébergement !! Un cocon de douceur délicatement décoré, propre, une vue imprenable sur mon Alsace et une chaleur douce dans toutes les pièces . Et j’insiste sur ce point à force d’avoir à subir le froid dans les autres maisons chauffées au dernier moment pour le locatif. Bravo! Je ne doutais en rien venant de la part de l’Alsace. Nous reviendrons nous cacher dans ce nid douillet parmi les cigognes. Profitez à votre tour de l’aventure romantique.

Sensationelle Ferienwohnung

Diese Ferienwohnung war mit Abstand die beste, in der wir je waren. Es war sauber, ganz gemütlich und sehr komfortabel eingerichtet. In jedem Zimmer konnte man die Liebe zum Detail bewundern. Die Kombination von alter Tradition (Fachwerkhaus) und Moderne wurde gut getroffen. Die Küche hatte alle Utensilien, die man zum Kochen braucht. Eine Grundsubstanz an Gewürzen und Kaffee waren für den Anfang vorhanden. Die Wohnung war für den Februar sehr gut geheizt. Ein Kamin sorgte für Gemütlichkeit. Wir wohnten direkt auf der Stadtmauer von Riquewihr, einem sehr historischen Ort. In nur wenige Gehminuten ist man im Dorfkern mit vielen hübschen Geschäften, Weinkellern und Restaurants. Wir können unser Feriendomizil und die liebevolle Betreuung durch den Eigentümer sehr empfehlen.

Des étoiles plein les yeux !

5 étoiles plus que méritée pour ce superbe appartement et des milliers d'étoiles dans nos yeux lorsque nous y sommes entrés. Tout est exactement comme sur les photos (magnifique sapin de Noël y compris). Un confort et une propreté au top. Aménagement et literie de luxe. Vous pensez qu'il vous manque un ustensile de cuisine ? C'est que vous n'avez pas bien cherché partout ... :-) L'équipement est plus que complet. Tout a été réalisé avec goût et avec le souci de votre bien-être. L'accueil ainsi que les infos concernant notre arrivée étaient irréprochables. L'emplacement à un saut de puce du centre (dans notre cas, du magnifique marché de Noël tant réputé) n'est pas négligeable et assez étonnamment, est d'un calme olympien. Nous avons passé un séjour magique. C'était Noël avant l'heure :-) N'hésitez plus et foncez, vous ne serez pas déçus ! La réservation est très facile et rapide grâce à l'espace client personnalisé.

A perfect stay

We stayed in The White Stork for two weeks and it was one of our more relaxing vacations. Although we were out just about every day seeing some place new, coming home in the late afternoon and relaxing in our little gem of an apartment was just perfect. My husband is tall but we felt like we had plenty of space. We enjoyed many meals out on the veranda over the garden and the church bells were a charming extra delight. This was our second apartment rented from the talented Krebs and the quality for us has been excellent - elegant yet super comfortable! No elevator but the exercise up the stairs was welcome. Cooking facilities and frig were top notch, washer came in handy. There is a wonderful little grocery a few doors down where you can find pretty much anything you need. Local markets provided all kinds of excellent produce and other goodies. Riquewihr is the perfect little village if you just want to stay "home" as there are beautiful little streets to explore. You can walk to other villages to get a break from the car. Alsace has a lot to offer, all within easy access.

best place we've ever stayed

The apartment was gorgeous. It was very private and quiet, yet close to everything you need. I enjoy cooking especially in the Alsace where you can source such great fresh ingredients. The kitchen enabled this and is very well equipped. The owner is meticulous and all of the instruction manuals for each appliance is available on site. The Kaysersberg market on Monday had everything we needed except fish and Valerie told us about a fishmonger in Houssen who was amazing- we were very very happy once we found him. We love the private balcony overlooking the town and took walks amongst the vineyards each evening after dinner. We will never forget this quiet, romantic vacation. Highly highly recommend the flat.

A second wonderful sojourn at White Stork !

Having stayed at the White Stork apartment in March 2015 my husband requested a return visit in March 2016 ( his birthday treat - again) . For a couple who have never ever booked the same property rental in 15 years and 40+ rentals under our belt , this in itself is a HUGE compliment to Remparts de Riquewihr and their first class, historical properties. March can be pretty cold and sometimes misty and showery , but this year we had lovely clear sunny days during our short stay. The apartment is so warm and cosy and sitting on the balcony with a chilled glass of Riesling or Cremant is a joy to experience. A premium renovation with high quality fixtures and fittings the apartment provides a wonderful place to return after to after a day's touring. Riquewihr is a splendid location. Surrounded by wonderful vineyards and pretty towns but also close enough to visit Colmar, Strasbourg, Baden Baden, Freiburg and the Rhine. From my first reservation enquiry to checking out, the owner's responses were 100% efficient, helpful and professional. Valerie is charming and makes sure your arrival is seamless. The apartment is great for a couple, top floor so some steps, but great views and so peaceful. I can recommend this property in good faith and would not hesitate to book it again.
