A little disappointed given the rave score and reviews
Windstein is a beautiful quiet village and so many of the villages around there were very pretty. The gite was spotless, it has a very small kitchen but the lounge and the bedrooms are fine, we also loved playing pool. On arrival we found the whole gite smelt very overpowering of drains, when we asked Lucienne we were told it was drains due to the heavy rain however it was there for our full 5 days and completely ruined our stay, if it was a hotel you would leave or at least change rooms but we were stuck. In addition to this the owners house is attached with a first floor door into your gite and the garden that is for your use is actually her garden and across the other side of the drive and in front of the main house, whilst she said we could use it with our dog we didn’t feel comfortable doing so. Had we known about both of these factors we wouldn’t have booked the property and we definitely wouldn’t return.

Great location in Alsace
This is a quiet, comfortable house in a stunning, untouristy location. Lucienne is very nice and helpful. There are lots of great walks, on the doorstep and a short drive away. Don't miss Castle Falkenstein! We went to Wissembourg, Strasbourg and the Maginot line fort Schoenenbourg (which you can visit without a guided tour, unlike Four A Chaux, which by the way doesn't offer English language tours). Having the pool table is fun. We enjoyed our stay.

Excellent in all respects
Prior to booking, the reviews that I read and the description and photographs of this property on the website suggested that this was a special place and we were not disappointed. The whole property was immaculate, but still homely which allowed us to settle in and enjoy every aspect, which made us feel that it was 'ours' for the time we were there. The owners are very friendly and obviously experienced at making their guests feel at ease, even though the language was a bit of a barrier (more our fault than their's!) The welcome file of information was very comprehensive which helped us to quickly get aquainted with both the property and the local area. The rainy weather at the time in Alsace meant that we weren't able to fully utilise the pleasant garden though we did manage a bbq for which ample coals and firelighters were provided and the pool table provided a welcome distraction one evening. The old Windstein castle ruins are easily reached through a short but steep walk up the hill and are well worth a visit along with a very nice Auberge a few hundred yards up from the property. Sadly this was only open Friday to Sunday during our stay. There is also a lovely restaurant in the nearby village of Dambach which serves excellent Tartes Flambes and is run by an English lady and her French husband...well worth a visit. One thing we noticed about this part of Alsace is that it is not very 'touristy', which to some may be ideal, but this also means that there is a need to 'hunt out' bars and restaurants which actually open during weekdays. However, the border with Germany is relatively close so if driving around to explore is your thing then this will give more options for sustenance. We also visited one of the authentically restored forts which formed part of the Maginot Line. This was extremely interesting and well worth a visit, though does entail a fair amount of walking. In summary, I would not hesitate to recommend this property as a base for anyone wishing to visit this lovely area of France.

Sehr gemütlicher Aufenthalt
Wir waren im November zum Wandern mit Hund dort und es war sehr schön. Tolle Natur und Ruhe. Es gibt keine Strassenlaternen, es ist stockdunkel am Abend und man hört ein Käuzchen rufen, richtig schön. Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich und Frau Ranzenberger sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
