Where Si Le Coeur Vous En Dit is in Châtenois
Si Le Coeur Vous En Dit is in Châtenois, a village in Alsace, on Rue du Frankenbourg. The location is handy for exploring the region. Several guests find it well placed for sightseeing, and they describe a peaceful setting, away from the bustle.
If you are driving, the free private car park is a real plus. To place the apartment, here are the landmarks given on its listing.
| Place | Approximate distance |
|---|---|
| Haut-Kœnigsbourg Castle | about 11 km |
| Colmar | about 22 to 25 km |
| Strasbourg-Entzheim Airport | about 42 km |
These distances mainly show that from Châtenois you can see the castle and Colmar without changing base at every stop. That is what I like about a base like this.
What the apartment is like
It is a holiday apartment rather than a traditional hotel, with a wide view over the mountains. It has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a shower and a hot tub, plus a living room with a dining area. Guests find it spacious, clean, comfortable and charmingly decorated.
The kitchen is fully equipped, with a fridge, dishwasher and oven. For entertainment there is a flat-screen TV, a Blu-ray player, a DVD and CD player, and an iPod docking station. Outside, the furnished terrace and barbecue make it easy to eat outdoors when the weather allows.
What stands out to me is how generous the space is. With two bedrooms, the apartment seems better suited to two couples or a family than to a solo stay.
Sauna, hot tub and a bit of exercise without leaving
This is what sets Si Le Coeur Vous En Dit apart from a simple rental. Wellness is at the heart of the offer, and reviews keep coming back to it.
- The sauna. Mentioned several times, it gives the stay a cocooning feel.
- The hot tub. One guest describes guaranteed relaxation, and another made it one of the highlights of a honeymoon weekend.
- The exercise bike and rowing machine. One host mentions them, along with the bubble bath, among the small extras.
It is the kind of facility that changes a weekend: you can spend a whole evening in the apartment without getting bored, which matters when you are visiting Alsace on a cold day.
What guests highlight
The 4.9 rating on Google is based on 12 reviews, all very positive. What comes up most is the welcome: many guests talk about warm, helpful hosts who give good advice and think of little extras.
The décor is often praised too, including the Christmas atmosphere, which one guest loved. Several reviews say nothing is missing from the apartment and that you feel at home there.
A family travelling with children appreciated the covered garage with storage for bikes and the equipment provided. They spent their days visiting the arboretum and Haut-Kœnigsbourg Castle.
What to know before you book
There are no serious complaints to report, which is rare, but two points are worth keeping in mind.
- Few reviews. The rating rests on only 12 reviews. That is very encouraging, but the sample is small.
- A two-night minimum stay. One guest mentions it, noting it is inconvenient for a one-night stop on a bike trip. Check the conditions when you book.
Remember too that this is an apartment rather than a hotel, so do confirm what is provided before you arrive.
Who it suits and what to do around Châtenois
I would choose it for a relaxing weekend for two, with sauna and hot tub, or for a small family wanting a comfortable base to explore Alsace. Cyclists will find room to store their gear. I would not recommend it for a single night in passing.
For days out, Haut-Kœnigsbourg Castle is very close, the arboretum appeals to families, and Colmar makes a good day in town. If you want to compare with other places in Grand Est, take a look at Résidence Patrice Bruppacher in Beblenheim or Un gîte dans la vallée in Obersteinbach.
Passionate about travel and about the kind of places that turn a getaway into something unforgettable. I love writing about hotels, country houses and charming hideaways, helping every traveller find the perfect place to rest and feel at home.
