9/10 Wonderful! (350 reviews)

Closest place to living in a castle overlooking the vineyards and town. Spacious rooms with great amenities...this is definitely an atypical place in the Alsace region. Breakfast was varied and yummy. We didn't have any opportunities to use the other fun games and amenities but I can see how this would be a great resort for those with kids/teens. I would return again!
