Gîte le Chaudron

Forty square meters of ground-floor apartment make up Gîte le Chaudron, tucked on Rue du Moulin in Pfaffenheim's Alsace wine-village center, with a private entrance opening onto its own inner courtyard rather than a shared hotel corridor — a fit for couples or small families wanting self-catering quiet near the Route des Vins.

The kitchen runs full-size: dishwasher, oven, stovetop, and toaster alongside the usual kettle. Outside, a hot tub and barbecue sit on the terrace under courtyard walls.

Pfaffenheim's vineyard paths start steps from the door, with Colmar a short drive north.
