Where should you stay in Kaysersberg?

What's included

Everything a family or group of six needs for a week in Alsace — and nothing you'll have to go out and buy.

Vacation Rental on the Alsace Wine Route

As a vacation rental in Kaysersberg, Le Joyau works differently from a hotel room. You book the whole house — not a room — for a minimum of 5 nights, and the displayed nightly rate already includes professional cleaning, premium hotel-quality linens, towels, fibre Wi-Fi, heating, electricity, and the welcome pack. The only extras at booking are the local tourist tax and an optional refundable security deposit. There is no platform service fee, no cleaning fee tacked on at checkout, and no resort fee. As a registered French gîte (tourism number 68162230007KA) on the Alsace Wine Route, the rental comes with a formal seasonal lease, declared liability insurance, and a real, local host on a real phone number — three things short-term rentals frequently lack.

Why Stay in Kaysersberg Instead of Colmar

Kaysersberg offers a quieter, more authentic Alsatian village experience than Colmar, while still being only 15 minutes away by car. As family accommodation in Kaysersberg, Le Joyau gives you direct walking access to vineyards, cellars and restaurants — something you simply don't get from a hotel base in central Colmar. Most guests stay in Kaysersberg and visit Colmar as an easy day trip.

Holiday house in Kaysersberg — FAQ

Can I rent the whole house just for my group?

Yes — Le Joyau is always rented as a whole. You and your party (up to 6 guests) have exclusive use of all 3 bedrooms, both bathrooms, the kitchen, the living areas, the garden and the garage. Nothing is shared with other guests.

What is the difference between a gîte and an Airbnb?

A gîte is a registered, regulated French holiday rental with a tourism number (ours is 68162230007KA). It comes with consumer protections, declared insurance and a clear lease. Airbnb is a booking platform — many Airbnb listings are gîtes that also list there. Booking the gîte direct (here) is the same property at a 10% lower price.

How many guests does the house sleep?

Up to 6 adults across 3 bedrooms (two king beds 180×200 and one queen 160×200). The house is also ideal for 2 couples + 2 children, or a multi-generational group.

Is parking really included?

Yes. You have a private garage with direct access to the house and an additional outdoor parking spot — both included free. This is exceptionally rare in old-town Kaysersberg, where street parking is paid and limited.

How does direct booking work?

Pick your dates on the calendar, fill in the form, and pay securely by card via Stripe. For stays more than 30 days away you can pay a 50% deposit and the balance later. You'll get instant confirmation, the lease agreement and the welcome pack by email.

What is the minimum stay?

5 nights as standard. We sometimes accept shorter stays in low season — message us if your dates don't fit.

Are there extra fees?

The displayed price already includes cleaning and linens. The only addition at booking is the local tourist tax and an optional refundable security deposit. No service fee, no platform fee.

What's nearby on foot?

Two supermarkets (10 min walk), the Monday farmers' market (1 min), 40+ restaurants including 2 Michelin-starred, bakeries, the river, the castle ruin trail, the Albert Schweitzer museum, and a free public playground across the street.

Is Kaysersberg a good place to stay in Alsace?

Kaysersberg is one of the best villages to stay in Alsace thanks to its central location, historic charm, and easy access to the wine route.

Is it better to stay in Kaysersberg or Colmar?

Kaysersberg is quieter and more authentic, while Colmar is larger and busier. Many visitors prefer staying in Kaysersberg and visiting Colmar as a day trip.

What is the best accommodation for families in Kaysersberg?

A full holiday house is usually the best option for families, offering more space, a kitchen, and privacy compared to hotels.

It was agreed by our party that this was one of the best rentals we have ever had in Europe. Everything is spotless and new and in good working order. We felt the price was excellent and good value. We would love to come back! — — Kimberly, USA, Oct 2025

Explore by day, walk out in the evening

Le Joyau combines whole-house accommodation in historic Kaysersberg with private parking for day trips. Use the car for Colmar, the Wine Route villages, vineyards and wider Alsace, then return to the private garage or additional parking space. This makes it straightforward to carry walking gear, purchases or family supplies without relying on public parking at the end of the day. Once back, there is no need to drive again: restaurants, wineries, shops and the historic centre are within walking distance. Guests can explore a broad area by day while still experiencing Kaysersberg as a pedestrian village in the evening. The garage and central location therefore work together as a practical benefit, not simply two separate amenities.
