Holiday apartment Gelfingen for 1 - 6 persons with 2 bedrooms - Holiday apartment
ED Refnr. 2611498
Spacious, historically furnished holiday flat of 112 square metres in an incomparable location and with breathtaking views. The flat is located in the baroque manor house between the castle tower, chapel and vineyard in the heart of the castle park. The view through the windows sweeps over the famous rose garden, the Heidegger vineyard, Lake Baldegg and the Alps. The family of the Lehensmann von Heidegg lived here in the 18th century, followed by the large farmer Josef Heggli in the 19th century and then the noble Lucerne-American family Pfyffer von Heidegg-Slidell until 1950.
The spacious flat consists of two bedrooms, living room, living corridor, kitchen and two bathrooms. The well-equipped kitchen is a cosy place to cook and eat. The centrepiece of the flat is the living room with panelling and furniture from the castle's collection.
Heidegg Castle is located in the Seetal valley between Lucerne and Lenzburg and is easily accessible by the Seetal railway (S9). A car park is available for cars and is included in the rental price. Heidegg is a walking paradise. Here you will discover surprising views of the castle and valley as well as cosy places to linger: the 200-metre-long chestnut avenue, a large outdoor playground, two rest areas with fireplaces, footpaths around the vineyard and through the romantic Burgtobel ravine. From Heidegg, you can also explore the Seetal and the surrounding area with fascinating hikes and bike tours (Herzschlaufe Seetal, Schlössertour, E-Bike-FoodTrail), be it towards Lake Hallwil and Lenzburg, to the Schongiland leisure park, on the Lindenberg towards Lucerne or Muri or further west towards Beromünster.
During opening hours (April to October), you can visit the exciting, varied museum in the castle tower free of charge, with its tower cellar stories, the new Heidegg Home Story in the living rooms or the children's floor with the legendary marble run. Special exhibitions, a rich programme of events, a shop, café and, when the weather is fine on Sundays and public holidays, the outdoor Buvette will enrich your stay at the castle. You can also simply enjoy the tranquillity and idyll of the castle flat and the park before returning to your everyday life. On a few evenings a year, the festive atmosphere in the vaulted cellar can also be heard in the flat. Towelling towels can be rented separately (set with flannel, towel and bath towel, payable on arrival)

Amazing experience
Slizka Family / USA - Rancho Palos Verdes Hello,
We are family of three ...if you want to experience spacious beautiful apartment in the castle which is situated in the middle of a stunning nature then this is the place to be.
Easy to drive few min to stores, restaurants, shopping or take a train to a different cities. It is worth to explore !!
We had just 2 little problems , there is no washing machine ..you have to share it and ask a property manager and they also do not provide towels in the bathroom unless you pay for them which should be automatically provided for free ...however VRBO does inform you ahead of time.

Magical stay
We loved our stay here! The views from the apartment are spectacular. The two rooms have one queen bed and one twin. It’s charming and cozy. I do wish they provided towels but the bed linens were very comfortable. Highly recommend this unique experience.

Super schöne Aussicht
In der Ferienwohnung war alles nötige vorhanden. Man findet leicht hin und die Vermieter waren sehr nett und freundlich. Die Wohnung hat einen eigenen Charm und eine wunderschöne Aussicht!
Die Vorhänge waren sehr gut blickdicht, so dass das man gut ausschlafen konnte wenn die Sonne bereits schien.
Die Betten sind etwas hart, weichere Topper wären hier super gewesen aber die vorhandene Bettwäsche war gut.
