A cottage in a garden in Rougegoutte

Super!

Although we arrived fairly late on the Saturday evening Fiorella and René were there to give us a warm welcome. Fiorella had even provided home made preserves, brioche, cakes and bread which saved us having to find a shop the next morning for breakfast. This is a truly beautiful apartment and has everything you need for a self catering holiday. Fiorella and René have obviously spent much time and care to create this. Whilst completely separate this is an extension of their own home and that can be seen in the artistic touches in the decor. Everything is beautifully presented. The gardens are stunning. It was wonderful to be able to sit outside and eat supper surround by beautiful plants and flowers. Fiorella and René are a warm and welcoming couple, happy to chat, but equally respect the privacy of their guests. They are happy to suggest places to visit. During our stay we visited Belfort, Alfeld Lake, Strasbourg (on the train from Mulhouse), Lac de Malsaucy for swimming, Le Grand Ballon (fabulous views of the Black Forest and the Alps once the cloud cleared), walking in the mountains and forests by waterfalls, Ribeauvillé and Centre de réintroduction des cigognes et des loutres (stork and otter centre). On the last evening we went for dinner at a local restaurant Couleurs Nature. We had a wonderful meal. The staff couldn’t have been more attentive to my 11 year old son. We had a wonderful weeks holiday and couldn’t find anything to fault. We would recommend La Rosa Mundi 100%!

The owners have converted the basement of their home into a spacious, stylish, functional and very charming apartment, combining the manual talents of René, a retired cabinetmaker, and literary and artistic talents of Fiorella. It has everything you could dream of, we have lacked nothing. The "consumables" are available on site, and up to you to restock. An attention appreciated when you arrive in the evening or on the weekend when the shops are closed, some cakes, homemade jam and "convenience" food are at your disposal. For those of you who fear "invasive" owners because living on site, I can reassure you, Fiorella and René are available if needed but they are very discreet and will respect your privacy. For food shopping, a supermarket is nearby, less than two kilometers away. The house is located in a truly Garden of Eden that combines fragrance, color and sound of nature, a delight for the nose, eyes and ears of townsfolk who want to rest and rejuvenate . René and Fiorella will let you walk in the garden, where you can read a book, have a snack or simply have a nap in the middle of this paradise on a lounge chair ... If you prefer, you can indulge in hiking from the house or do some sightseeing by car to discover the Vosges, the territory of Belfort, Franche-Comté... Again thank you to Fiorella and René for giving us the opportunity to share their “paradise on earth” Tatiana & Hervé
