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.

About the host

Host profile image
« Les Remparts de Riquewihr » belong to our small family business - Rosa Gallica sàrl - created by Martine & Jean-Paul Krebs, enthusiasts who have evolved in the world of tourism throughout their careers.
Our philosophy: that your stay in one of our gites is a highlight of your stay in Alsace! Our guests, some of whom have become friends over the course of their stays, want to savor every moment of their stay in Alsace.
Having had the chance and the privilege to restore these houses steeped in so much history, set in such a beautiful setting - Riquewihr, a listed medieval village is among the most beautiful in France and Europe - we wanted to do more than a place to sleep.
We wanted that, at the end of a busy day of visits and discoveries, you find pleasure in spending a moment of comfortable relaxation in an apartment that is your home during your stay.
We wanted to honor a remarkable site at the same time as all aesthetes and epicureans, lovers of good and beautiful things, who will know how to savor the place and the moment.
