Alsatian Awakenings

Alsatian Awakenings: Grand Est

Located in the heart of Colmar's historic centre, this convenient apartment provides an idyllic base from which to soak up the city, its sights and its fantastic food and drink scene. You do, however, have a nice-sized kitchen and dining table here, allowing you to dine out or eat in as much as you like. And with an open-plan set-up of the main living area, the space calls for sociable affairs among guests. The views of the city's Dominican Church aren't bad, either.

Colmar is one of Alsace's most sought-after destinations – it's sure to awaken the senses. With quality Alsation wine and a wealth of local culinary delights waiting to be tantalised here, it's safe to say your tastebuds will be in for a treat. But with the majestic chocolate-box architecture and Unterlinden Museum just steps away from the apartment, get ready for a whimsical stay worth writing home about.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area
*The third bedroom is located in a mezzanine above the hallway and requires guests to climb a ladder
*This home is on the second level of an apartment building without a lift – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*There's a small table in one of the bedrooms that can be used as a desk – the dining table can double as a workspace
*The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents
*Parking in Colmar can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot
