Let’s explore The Lucky Dragon, a unique holiday rental in Riquewihr!

Indoor-Outdoor Living: The first level features a sun-drenched winter garden and a gourmet kitchen opening onto your private covered terrace. Designed to breathe with nature, this space stays naturally pleasant during the summer months.

The Master Suite: On the second level, the grand bedroom features a King Size bed and centuries-old timber framing. To maintain the integrity of the historic materials, a high-end cooling fan/mister is provided for the warmest days.

Smart Cooling & Comfort: The living room (and by extension the adjacent bedroom) as well as the cozy attic hideaway are air-conditioned to ensure a restful night’s sleep even in peak summer.

A Healthy Haven: Meticulously equipped (including a washer-dryer), this holiday home spreads over 3 levels and is a healthy, eco-friendly retreat thanks to our commitment to Baubiologie (natural lime, hemp, and wood restoration), providing superior natural insulation and air quality.

Your Holiday Rental in Riquewihr is a Healthy Retreat: Our Philosophy of Baubiologie

For over 20 years, we have followed a vision that some once called “crazy.” While modern standards favored quick fixes like drywall and synthetic materials, we chose the demanding path of tradition. Our goal? To provide you with a baubiologically healthy home in Riquewihr, where you can breathe deeply and wake up truly refreshed.

A Gite in Alsace Designed with the “Healthy Luxury” Concept

Ecological Restoration with Roman Cement and Lime

  • Roman Cement & Lime: We have extensively used “Roman Cement”—a 2,000-year-old recipe of hydraulic lime, sand, and brick dust. This noble, breathable material allows the walls to “breathe,” ensuring an incomparably healthy indoor climate, naturally free from humidity.
  • Authentic Materials: The ancient timber frame has been preserved using genuine wattle and daub (torchis) and finished with hand-applied limewash, which creates a soft, natural glow throughout the rooms.
  • Noble Floors: Experience history under your feet on massive, wide fir wood planks sourced from our local forests and original, handmade terracotta tiles (tommettes).

The “Schoenenbourg Breeze”: A Natural Grand Cru Comfort

Just as the world-class Riesling from the facing Schoenenbourg vineyard owes its character to the local micro-climate, our guests benefit from a unique natural phenomenon.

Located exactly in the axis between the high 1291 ramparts and the Schoenenbourg hill, our residence acts as a natural corridor. This “Venturi effect” accelerates the mountain breeze that flows down from the Vosges every night.

Natural Air Conditioning: This gentle, cool wind naturally lowers the temperature of the house, even during the hottest summer days.

A Wine-Grower’s Secret: We invite you to live like a local: turn off the AC, open the windows at night, and let the fresh vineyard air rejuvenate your home.

Pure & Peaceful: With no mosquitoes to disturb you, sleeping with the windows open is the best way to experience the authentic serenity of Riquewihr.
