Great gite in Bergheim
We really enjoyed our stay with Simon! The gite was a good size for a group of four that enjoys a cozy space. We especially enjoyed the connected kitchen and living room, since we could fire up the stove, cook, and enjoy all the local wine together! One thing to be aware of is the connected bedrooms. This was fine for us, but may not be 100% clear in the posting (I think the French description makes sense, but the English translation wasn't as clear). The location is wonderful. Bergheim is really well located and cute, with a wonderful Christmas market, and it is far less overrun by tourists compared to nearby Ribeauville or similar. There are many great wineries to try nearby - special mention to Marcel Deiss in town, or Rolly Gassmann just to the north of town.

Lovely part of France
Very nice property with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Very clean and comfortable. We self catered mainly and the gas bbq was a real bonus. Just be aware that although there are two bedrooms there is a gap with a curtain between the rooms. There are some nice restaurants in the town along with some lovely bakeries. Bergheim is a great place to stay for a trip to this area as it’s not too touristy but really pretty and lots of history. Everything is within an easy drive too. Simon the owner was always helpful.

Beautiful La Maison d'Achille in the Haut-Rhin Village of Bergheim
My stay was from 1 Dec 2018 to 8 Dec 2018. Simon met me upon my arrival and proceeded to give me an orientation of the property. The apartment is 3 floors next door to Simon's home located on a cul-de-sac. There is a manually operated driveway gate that Simon leaves open during the day. You park your car inside the gate, allowing enough room for Simon to park his car in the garage. On the ground floor, accessed from the driveway, there's a sauna and exercise room containing a treadmill, stationary bike, elliptical, and rowing machine. The 1st floor is accessed via exterior steps leading to a covered porch entry. The 1st floor has a full kitchen, living room, eat-in kitchen table, all equipped to a high standard. There's the option for a wood burning fire in the living room. The 2nd floor is accessed via stairs; there are two bedrooms and a half-bath, so you'll need to use the 1st floor bathroom for your shower. Bergheim is a nice village of cobbled lanes and half-timbered buildings. Simon had his home and the apartment decorated for Christmas. The village was having a Nativity creche decorating theme for Christmas and there were several families that participated in the village. Simon and his father, Jean-Louis, had built a homemade creche in the driveway with lighting. Very nice. I did day trips every day. The Haut-Rhin Alsace Wine Route with Colmar, Ribeauville, Riquewihr, Kaysersburg, Equisheim, and Guebwiller all being beautiful villages along the route, all having Christmas markets. I did day trips to Freiburg, Germany and Basel, Switzerland too. Just a great time during the week. I walked to Ribeauville and back to Bergheim using lanes and paths through the vineyards. There's a Proxi convenience/grocery store in Bergheim for basics that's within easy walking distance. There are larger grocery stores near Ribeauville that require a car. Thanks Simon for a great stay at La Maison d'Achille. Your English is way better than my French or German.

perfect, charming house along the Alsace wine road
We absolutely recommend this lovely house in Bergheim! Every decorative detail is so charming and attractive, but guest comfort has not been sacrificed along the way. It was very clear that many thoughtful decisions went into its design in order to create the perfect holiday experience. The bed was really comfortable, and we appreciated the second upstairs bathroom, the space of the additional bedroom, and the fully-equipped kitchen (not that we ever cook in France, but you could.) The wood-burning stove is a delight if you are there in the winter, and the welcoming host, Simon, had even decorated for Christmas, so you can enjoy the cozy atmosphere enhanced by the lights on the Christmas tree. Alsace, of course, is a very special delight during the Christmas season, and we loved the twinkly lights of Bergheim, perfectly situated for many Christmas markets and other sight-seeing destinations. The gite is every bit as pretty as its photographs, and it is blissfully warm as well. (I'm including that point because, when shopping for a winter rental, I tend to look for a specific mention of whether or not it was warm enough.) We are happy to be home, but I would return here again in a heartbeat for another dose of fairy-tale magic.

Das Häuschen ist von seinem sehr sympathischen Besitzer mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Leider war das Wetter nicht sehr gut, so konnten wir den Innenhof mit den malerischen Sitzplätzen nicht nutzen. Doch das Dorf bietet wunderschöne Spaziergänge durch die Gassen und auf dem Stadtwall. Wir empfanden Bergheim als das schönste und zur Erholung das idealste Dorf der eindrucksvollen Region im Elsass. Herzlichen Dank!

Wunderschöner Aufenthalt
Schon vor der Anreise hatten wir einen super freundlichen und unkomplizierten Austausch mit unserem Gastgeber Simon. Wir haben eine ausführliche Wegbeschreibung und viele Tipps für Unternehmungen in der Umgebung erhalten. Am Tag der Anreise hat Simon uns herzlich empfangen und uns weitere hilfreiche Tipps gegeben. Das kleine Haus ist sehr schön und genau wie beschrieben bzw. auf den Fotos abgebildet. Es war sehr sauber, alles Notwendige war vorhanden und funktionierte einwandfrei. Besonders gefallen hat uns die Lage. Das Haus ist nur wenige Gehminuten vom malerischen Ortskern entfernt. Trotzdem war es wunderbar ruhig. Bergheim war der perfekte Ausgangspunkt für zahlreiche Ausflüge. Auch die Abreise war völlig unkompliziert. Wir waren rundum zufrieden, vielen Dank!
