This beautiful cottage is located right beside the river Moselle in the sleepy, historic village of Senhals – an almost impossibly picture perfect setting. Part of a collection of neighboring homes in a spacious park which are all owned by one couple, it’s a charming setting that’s perfect for exploring the region’s hiking trails, castles and wineries.
We love the beautiful simplicity of the interiors – a great blend of modern and rustic, with bare wooden floorboards, a subtle, warm color palette, and elegant furnishings. The house has three floors, with the bedrooms spread throughout – one on the ground floor, two on the first, and the fourth on the second.
Great features include a private garden overlooking the Moselle River, with lovely terraces at front and back; a private Jacuzzi (with a large river-view window); and a really cool windowless stone wine cellar with a large dining table.
This is a great little vacation home rental in Germany for one or two families, or a large group of friends.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
The kitchen is fully equipped, with a dishwasher and washing machine. There is a TV, radio and CD-player, as well as WLAN and a safe. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace.
The surrounding park has two lawns, a barbecue area, orange trees, an olive grove, a vineyard, a little fountain and sand area, as well as lounge chairs, and direct access to the waterfront via a private bathing jetty. There are also facilities for meetings, family celebrations, and other events within the grounds.
AROUND
The municipality of Senheim lies on both banks of the river Moselle. The bigger of the two sides, also called Senheim, lies on the right bank, while the smaller Senhals lies on the left bank. They are linked by bridge. As far back as the Middle Ages, the locals made their living in agriculture, specifically growing wine.
Sights to see in Senhals include St Mary Magdalene’s Catholic Church (thought to date back to the 13th century) and some beautiful old timber-frame buildings. The larger Senheim boasts the impressive St Remigius’s Catholic Church and number of historical buildings.
There are numerous great hiking trails, and a boat trip on the Moselle is recommended. Don’t forget to visit at least one castle – as there are many (Burgen, Burg Eltz, Beilstein, Cochem, Thurant). And the region hosts several great wine festivals.
