1. Beautiful apartment in the middle of the old town (from USD 65)
Just because a house has a 500-year-old history doesn’t mean it can’t be trendy! Located in the historic heart of Wissembourg, this property succeeds in livening up its antique exterior with a variety of modern designs within; yellow appliance shelves and red floors in one room, for example, and white Nordic-inspired minimalism in the other.
The main room is a combination of the sleeping area with a queen-sized bed, a well-equipped kitchen, and a dining area, all bathed in the glow of the lovely natural light filtering through the windows. The bathroom, interestingly, is what still retains this place’s storied history, with its stone floor steps and large bathtub.

When you feel the itch for exploration, the village centre is less than a five-minute walk away, and right across the road is an adventure in itself: ruins of an 11th-century abbey!

A hidden gem worth seeking
Wissembourg is at times overlooked in favour of the more popular villages in Central Alsace, but anyone who’s ever visited soon learns that choosing the off-beaten path can bring its own rewards. Whether you decide to enter the hauntingly beautiful Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, marvel at the Stanislas Palace where the royal Leszczynski family were once exiled, or enjoy quiet simplicity in one of the town’s lovely tearooms, Wissembourg definitely has treasures for you to discover and love.
