Below is a short description of the house followed by an overview of our beautiful village. Hunawihr is classified as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France.
The 1603 House :
The house dates back to 1603 and was built by King Henry IV's provost marshal.
Over the years, it has become a typical winegrower's house, with its sandstone entrance porch, half-timbering, authentic balcony and flower-filled courtyard set between a barn and a house.
Situated on the wine route, in the heart of Alsace, in one of the most beautiful villages in France, our 2 charming gites are an ideal base for visiting the whole of the Alsace region, the Vosges and even nearby Germany and Switzerland.
Housed in a house listed as a cultural heritage site, our 2 holiday homes have been completely renovated and redecorated with patience and passion since 2010, respecting the natural materials of our ancestors.
Here, furniture steeped in history blends with modern comforts to enhance your well-being.
Located right in the centre of Hunawihr, you can feel the pulse of this peaceful little wine-growing village with its flower-filled houses.
The village, made up of two almost parallel streets linked by two small lanes, offers views of the surrounding countryside from almost every angle.
You can easily park in front of the house. Electric and hybrid cars can be recharged here.
Via the wine trail, you can easily walk to 2 emblematic villages, Riquewihr to the south (20 minutes‘ walk) and Ribeauvillé to the north (20 minutes’ walk), offering landscapes for which our region is famous.
Maison 1603 is typical of winegrowers' houses, with a vast cellar on the ground floor and the living quarters upstairs.
The 2 flats are accessed via the monumental wooden staircase, the backbone of the house, which leads from each floor to the attic. As you climb the stairs, you will pass through the different eras of the house.
Discover our 2 4-star flats
- Flat le Prévot**** on the 1st floor (for 2 to 4 people)
- Flat le s'Storikenascht**** on the second floor (sleeps 4 to 6)
The beautiful village of Hunawihr
Situated in the Ballons des Vosges Regional Nature Park, on the Alsace Wine Route, Hunawihr is a typical Alsatian village, listed as one of the ‘Most Beautiful Villages in France’.
The fortified church overlooks the 360-degree vineyard landscape, making this village a natural stop-off point, set in a setting of vines.
Hunawihr owes its name to the holy washerwoman Huna, who, according to legend, lived here in the 12th century with her husband, the Frankish lord Hunon.
Legend has it that in the 12th century, when the winegrowers of Hunawihr were unable to produce a harvest, St Huna performed a miracle by making the wine flow from the fountain that still bears her name today.
Overlooking the village, the 15th-century church of St Jaques le Majeur, surrounded by a fortified cemetery, has preserved its unspoilt setting, highlighting this remarkable part of Alsace's heritage landscape.
The church also served as a dungeon, where the inhabitants could take refuge in the event of an attack.
This wine-growing village is made up of gabled wine-growers' houses with narrow courtyards, most of which date from the 16th to 18th centuries.
You can explore the village on a historical trail.
