We were first looking for a hotel in Riquewihr but couldn't find anything reasonably priced and so we decided to stay in this charming nearby village of Beblenheim (5min drive / 20min bike ride from Riquewihr). Beblenheim is a very small village but has several wineries and a few nice restaurants too.||||Having read several reviews about La Bergerie we roughly knew what to expect but the place exceeded our expectations! Such a charming property; authentic, cozy, clean and beautifully decorated, in and outside. Our basic double room was spacious and extremely clean. Bathroom was either new or recently renowated. Fridge in the room was a big plus. Owner, a charming french lady, was very helpful and warm and she even arranged us bicycles for rent for free. We cycled to Riquewihr for dinner, can recommend the same to everyone!||||Breakfast wasn't included in the room price but we decided to take it as it was only 8e/person. Breakfast was very good with lots of variety. The overall price/quality ratio is extremely good: 60e/night for 2 persons...
Read moreWe chose this hotel because we wanted to visit Colmar and the surroundings of Beblenheim (Riquewihr, Ribeauville). When we reached it, we suddenly felt sorry for booking only two nights.||The room with the terasse was absolutely beautiful, the courtyard as well, as for the surroundings, you feel like in a fairytale. We had dinner at the Agneau Blanc, a lovely restaurant close by (beware that is closed on Wednesday), we had a walk through the wineyards to Riquewihr (about 30 minutes walk) to enjoy this jewel, and we drove to Ribeauville - again, an impressive "ville fleuri" - in order to visit it and do a hike to the 3 castles on top of the mountain.||The region is absolutely magnificent, and the hotel fits very well in it. ||When I'll come back to Alsace, I'll definitely check in again at "La Bergerie".||||Ah, did I mention that there is a alsatian store just next to the hotel? They have great wines, cheese and foie gras,...
Read moreMy husband and I got back from a 5 day trip in Alsace (1 night in Strasbourg, the rest at various spots along the Route des Vins). We stayed at the Hotel la Bergerie for one of the nights. It was perfectly suitable: clean, easy to find, reasonably priced. The hostess was friendly, too. I do feel like we were a little misled by the tripadvisor reviews, though, which had made us think this would be the best night of our trip. If you're going to drive the wine route and are looking for a personal, catered-feeling experience, I'd recommend staying at one of the winemaker's gites that include tastings in the caves, tours of the vineyards, breakfast, etc. (for less money, too). La Bergerie was perfectly adequate, but if we were re-crafting this trip, we would allocate all our nights to the more unusual & unique gites along the...
