Like Itterswiller—the cute wine village it overlooks—this yellow-walled, half-timber, hillside hotel exudes charm, from the wood-beam lobby with its wrought-iron staircase right through to the "country deluxe" lodgings with views across the nearby vineyards. Rooms, while not overly spacious, are well done, with large wood-framed beds, colorfully upholstered furnishings, capacious windows, and all the modern conveniences (including a pool, hamman, and sauna). Across the street, the hotel's winstub-style restaurant features a vintage winepress and serves Alsace wines by the jug; homemade foie gras, pike perch in Riesling sauce, and traditional choucroute top the menu.
