This lovely little apartment overlooks the river in the historic village of Senhals in Germany. The larger parkland in which it is located is owned by one couple who over the years have acquired more and more properties in it, and created a great little collection of vacation rentals.
We love the simplicity of the space, with its wooden floors, pastel walls, gabled ceilings and abundant light. The living areas have a sweet, old-fashioned country feel, while the bathroom and kitchen are contemporary, with strong, clean lines.
The apartment is on the second floor and split over two levels – a kitchen, living and dining space on one, and a bedroom and bathroom (with shower) on the other.
This vacation home rental in Germany makes a great base for exploring the region’s hiking trails, castles and wineries. If more space is needed, other properties in the complex are available.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
The kitchen has a dishwasher and washing machine. Other amenities include a TV, radio, CD player, wifi and a safe. There is a Jacuzzi in the complex that can be reserved (€10 per person per day, incl. pool towels and bath robes).
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, and there’s still a great deal of wine being produced to this day.
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.
