In the heart of Alsace, between Vosges and Plaine, backed by the vineyard, our gites La Demeure de Gérardine benefit from the exceptional microclimate from which Pfaffenheim and its surroundings benefit. One of the driest villages in France, Pfaffenheim, located on the Alsace wine route, is close to most of the region's attractions. - 10 km from Colmar and Eguisheim, favorite village of the French in 2012 - 10 minutes from the Alsace Ecomuseum, the largest ecomuseum in the East. - Less than an hour from the Vosges peaks and half an hour from hikes - One hour from Strasbourg, which can be reached by the wine route - 45 minutes from Eupa Park, a benchmark European theme park. Pfaffenheim also has many unique advantages due to its landscapes and the richness of its historic sites and its age-old pilgrimage: Notre Dame du Schauenberg. Between plain and piedmont, in the heart of the vineyard, our lodgings will delight cyclists and mountain bikers. Alsace is a region rich in discoveries, but our lodgings and their environment also offer you pleasant moments of relaxation and rest, away from any noise pollution. The ornamental garden and the swimming pool are located 80 meters from the nearest public road, at the same time ensuring the safety of children. Dear holidaymakers: By staying in one of our lodgings: Let pleasure caress the moment Right away, the entrance sets the tone: A wide spiral staircase with a natural stone core, the steps of which have been worn down by 800 years of history, inserted into a turret restored in 1992, leads to each of the three lodgings. Formerly, this square patrician house whose foundations date from the 13th century, partially destroyed during the 30 years war, then rebuilt between 1550 and 1600, can still tell its story. Replica of our gîte the "Terrasse d’Alphonse", la Demeure de Gérardine, a large open space welcomes you. The kitchen opens onto a terrace overlooking the garden and the swimming pool. Free WIFI. The dining room open on the mezzanine forms with the adjoining living room and the kitchen, a common place of life. The mezzanine, with a view of the vineyard, invites you to rest and read. A wide passage between the house and the old hayloft leads you to two rooms with original decor (all in BioSens bedding); the third bedroom with its bathroom and separate toilet is perched upstairs next to the mezzanine. The "Demeure de Gérardine", with its original wooden joists and beams, bears the imprint of centuries gone by. With timeless charm, it diffuses the soul and the atmosphere of which our ancestors had the secret.
