Hôtel Pêche de Vigne & Spa in Rodern: stopover in the village
In the Haut-Rhin, the traditional 16th and 18th century houses of Rodern overlook the Pinot Noir vines on one side, and the forest on the other.
The hotel, housed in an old 16th century wine farm, recounts this past.
This superb property with garden, heated swimming pool, Camille Becht spa (organic Alsatian brand), resembles a hamlet with its categories of rooms with poetic names: "Colombage", "Rustique", "Sous l'Arbre".
Anyone who doesn't like being woken up early in the morning by the church bells will avoid “Colombage”, preferring “Sous l'Arbre”.
The staff, smiling, available, likes to tell the region and its beautiful addresses.
We set off to attack the cellars and the hiking trails after a locavore, organic, very hearty breakfast, between cold meats, cheeses, fruits, cereals.
Breakfast €15,
€7.50 for children.
Room from €108.
