La Villa Haute Corniche

Alsace


On a tremendously scenic perch above Obernai, with views of the Vosges and Alsace plains, this B&B has a boutiquey feel thanks to owner Anthony’s attention to detail. The four rooms are impeccably tasteful – dark-wood parquet, textured fabrics, fur throws and eye-catching art – and open onto terraces. Breakfast is a fine spread of farm-fresh eggs and cheeses, pastries and fruits.

It’s a 1.5km (20-minute) walk northwest of central Obernai, or a quick taxi ride.
