A small, romantic B&B in Alsace

Rental description

A stone throw away from Colmar in the heart of France’s Ballons des Vosges Nature Park, owners Céline and Mickaël offer a warm reception at their small family b&b. It has been made for travelling couples. Each of the 5 rooms (sleeps for up to 5 persons) was tastefully decorated with traditional charm, and bears the name of a rose growing in the garden.

Céline, a qualified mountain guide, can give you tips on the best walks in the area. Mickaël offers you gastronomic specialities from Alsace and other regions. His cuisine finds inspiration from the home-grown vegetables and herbs (and even flowers), and it is to be savoured slowly, as recommended by Slow Food. Whatever the season, the property always has a flower or a plant to touch, to smell, and also to eat. This b&b is wholly dedicated to your wellness holiday and well-being.

You also have the possibility to spend the night in a separate cottage in the garden. With a view on the garden, the house is equipped with kitchen and living room, and you have your own access to the pool. Here you can stay up to 6 people.

Sustainability criteria

Not only is the b&b certified with France’s regional nature parks, but also by the selective labels “Clef Verte”. Its Slow Food type of cuisine is in keeping with the owners’ approach of environmental protection and effort to maintain the regional biodiversity. Vegetarian or vegan dishes can also be prepared on request.

Besides its cuisine based on home-grown produce, and 10 percent organic and regional products, the b&b has committed to sustainability by selective waste sorting, composting vegetable waste from the kitchen and garden, as well as use of energy-saving lightbulbs and water-saving taps. It has been renovated with natural materials – paints, naturally waxed wooden floors, cotton, linen, latex for interior decoration as well as air lime and sand coating for the exterior. Cellulose fibre and cork were chosen for quality insulation and optimized heating. Electricity and hot water are provided by solar panels and solar-powered pumps.
