Good to know

Check-in from 5 pm to 7 pm, check-out by 11 am: we welcome you in person. We live upstairs in the chalet, discreet but available if you need anything. As the cottage is in the countryside, a car is recommended. When arriving, drive through the village of Bischoffsheim rather than the stony tracks some GPS apps suggest. Non-smoking.

Your little companion is welcome! We host one pet free of charge (a dog or cat under 3 kg); please let us know when you book. Bowls and a blanket are provided.

Bikers welcome: room for 4 motorbikes in the gated courtyard, with Mont Sainte-Odile and the Wine Route right from the gîte.
