Types of Holiday Rentals in Haut-Rhin
Apartments to rent in Haut-Rhin are the most popular type of properties and these tend to sleep up to 4 people. I came across a very spacious 2 bedroom apartment to rent in Munster, a small commune with a population of around 5,000, which is part of a private house. It has a private terrace and balcony with panoramic views of the surrounding area.
The apartment is located on the first floor and has a fully equipped kitchen, large dining and living area and a double and twin bedroom. There is an en-suite to the twin room and also a separate toilet elsewhere in the apartment.
If you fancy somewhere a little more lively, how about an apartment to rent in Colmar, the driest city in France! I found a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment to rent here. The apartment is in the centre of town and has a private parking space. The property has a sofa bed so can sleep up to 6 people, and there is also dining space for 6. The interior is nicely finished and has white walls and beamed ceilings. The kitchen is fully equipped and also benefits from a washing machine and dryer. As well as the 2 bathrooms there are also 2 separate toilets.
The apartment is ideally located for exploring the pretty town of Colmar, also known as “Little Venice” because of its network of canals which criss-cross the town. Haut-Rhin apartments to rent are aplenty because of its popularity for skiing, so wherever you wish to stay, you will find lots of choice available.
