Why they chose this property

The place is quite outstanding.
The Mountain Hiker apartment is part of a beautiful building of 1929. It was completely refurbished with organic materials, beautifully furnished and decorated. You will enjoy a fantastic mountain panorama and a garden where to sit and even have a meal outside.

What makes this property unique

La Vancelle is a small Alsatian mountain village, nestled on the southern slope of a mountain arch that rises to about 855 meters.
Only a wise eye can see the village from the valley. Hidden in a beautiful forest, it is a haven of peace and nature. And yet it is easily accessible and ideally located, away from the crowds but just minutes from the wine route, the wine villages and the major tourist attractions.
2 good restaurants just within short walking distance. Shops 2,5 kilometers.
