« Les Remparts de Riquewihr » belong to our small family business - Rosa Gallica sàrl - created by us, Martine & Jean-Paul Krebs, in 2003. We are travel enthusiasts who have evolved in the world of tourism throughout our careers (airlines). 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.

Our holiday lodgings in Riquewihr are located in 2 different places in the old historic village. 1/ Charming and chic lodgings 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 vineyard the Schoenenbourg which dominates 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 official 5-star standards for the furnished tourist apartments category, as set out by the Ministry of Tourism. A small garden with a medieval design gives an exquisite touch of refinement to this original ensemble. 2/ The lodgings of the Rempart from 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. The Dove's Nest house is located on these ramparts from the year 1500.

Our outstanding holiday rentals are all different. They are housed in historic buildings on the ramparts of Riquewihr. Alsace is a picturesque region which, thanks to its wine, gastronomy and other attractions, is definitely worth the trip. Riquewihr, in the heart of the vineyard still presents today the face that was its 500 years ago. It is also a practical place to stay to get around and discover all of Alsace, but also nearby Germany and Switzerland.
