Stay at the winery at Katzenthal close to Colmar:S’Kamerla
Families get bigger and bigger and children want their own bedroom. Grandparents extended their house to the attic and created two rooms for the older children. Today they are bigger, there is a kitchen and a private bathroom but he view on the hills and vineyards is still the same. You will like this place and his specific Alsatian ambiente.
The vineyard house was built at the end of the 19th century on an ancient foundation. It's a typical winemaker's house with basement cellars, living area on the first floor and a huge attic. Renovated 1992 and 2007, all organic you will enjoy this place and living very close to a traditional family.
Katzenthal is one of the very rare villages in Alsace to be located at the end of the road. At the foot of the Trois Epis spa, a well-known pilgramage site, in the heart of Alsace and just outside of Colmar, this village preserves its rural character. Lovers of peace and quiet come here, attracted by this unique valley, by the superb south-west facing hillsides, and by the fortified chateau ruins surrounded by vines. Your day begins with the boulangerie where you'll get all the latest village news and Patricia's laugh will wake you up. After, opt for a day in the outdoors and take the marked footpath beside the house and wander through part of the vineyards: towards Neiedermorschwihr and its twisted steeple and on towards the walls of Turkheim or in the other direction towards Ammerschwihr and Kaysersberg, where Albert Schweitzer lived. You'd like to go higher in the mountains? Then take the other path towards le Galtz (at 700 meters of 2200 ft) and Labaroche for a taste of the Welche region. After this warm-up you are at a maximum 30 minutes from 50 discovery excursions in Alsace. Tired in the evening? Try a tarte flambee in one of the village restaurants. You don't want to budge? Then enjoy a relaxing day in Katzenthal: Madame can pamper herself at the beauty salon, monsieur can go to the tennis court with the children who will also love the playground…and there's no need to insist that you will learn everything about Alsatian wines if you would like to. We're just close to your holiday home.
