La Cour 5

Nestled in the fairytale village of Saint-Hippolyte, La Cour 5 is a warm and inviting retreat, part of a small collection of 5 apartments cared for by our longtime friend Michel. His easy hospitality and attention to detail have made him a favorite with UnTours travelers, and this apartment is no exception. It offers a peaceful home base for exploring Alsace. Whether that means wandering the cobbled lanes of the village, pausing at a café, or setting out by car along the region’s celebrated wine route.

Located on the second floor, the apartment is thoughtfully designed for comfort. The bright living space features a fully equipped kitchen and a welcoming lounge—perfect for a relaxed evening after a day of discoveries. The king-sized bed promises a good night’s rest, and the modern bathroom has everything you need. Best of all, a small balcony overlooking the courtyard invites you to linger with a glass of local wine and soak up the easy rhythm of village life.

At the foot of the Vosges Mountains and castle Haut-Koenigsbourg lies this sleepy old village the core of which is 3 parallel streets cut by side streets and alleys between half-timbered houses. The northern most and perhaps quietest of our wine route villages, St. Hippolyte is still completely surrounded by its wall. Inside the wall, you will be charmed by the double square of its town hall and 14th century gothic church and flower decked fountain dating from 1555. This is the 2nd place where Alsatian red wine originates---Rouge de Saint Hippolyte (a pinot noir) and an excellent place to sample it. A nice break from the well worn tourist path would be a meal at the typically Alsatian restaurant Hupsa Pfannala. It’s building has been in use since 1506. There is a wonderful bakery on the square and other restaurants in town.

Your host, Michel, looks forward to hosting his UnTours guests and helping you enjoy your stay.
