Nettes Appartment
Die Bäder sind renovierungsbedürftig. Ansonsten ein schön eingerichtetes Appartment mit viel Platz und schöner Balkon/Terrasse. Wie schon von einem Vorredner erwähnt steht ein Doppelbett im „Durchgang“ zum abgeschlossenen Schlafzimmer und wird nur durch einen Vorhang vom Wohnzimmer abgetrennt. Dies war für uns, 2 Erwachsene und 3 Kinder, aber nicht wirklich ein Problem.

Super Terrasse zum Sternenhimmel betrachten und viel Platz. Das ließ über Kleinigkeiten, wie zu dunkel am Esstisch, weil keine richtige Beleuchtung da ist, gern hinwegsehen. Gern wieder. Bis zum nächsten Mal.

Irreführendes Online-Inserat
Wir haben unseren Urlaub in der FeWo nicht angetreten. Die FeWo wird mit zwei Schlafzimmern im Netz angeboten. Das war ausschlaggebend für unsere Buchung. Die FeWo hat aber nur ein Schlafzimmer. Das zweite Doppelbett befindet sich in einem Durchgangsbereich zum einzigen Schlafzimmer und ist zum Wohnbereich der FeWo nur durch einen Vorhang getrennt. Mit dieser Anordnung hätten wir uns nicht annähernd angemessen erholen und entspannen können. Der riesige Warmwasserboiler und der Heizstrahler im Badezimmer machten beide einen technisch nicht Vertrauen erweckenden Eindruck, Möglichkeiten zum Aufhängen von Handtüchern fehlten. Der Schuhschrank im Eingangsbereich war mit Klebeband geflickt. Auf dem Balkon befand sich in der rechten vorderen Ecke ein Wespennest. Die Einrichtung im Wohn- und Essbereich entsprach den Bildern im Online-Inserat und war in Ordnung.

Review of property
The apartment is situated in a lovely location but the sleeping arrangements could have been better as had to go through one bedroom to get to the other one which was awkward for 2 couples staying. Kitchen and bathroom very small and need updating. Roof top outside bit was lovely to sit in during the evening. Very large and spacious lounge.

Gut ausgestattete, geräumige Wohnung
Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt in der Wohnung in Bad Herrenalb. Es ist wie in einem richtigen Zuhause alles da, was man täglich braucht. Von genügend Handtüchern, bis einer top ausgestatten Küche, Fön, Schuhlöffel DVD Player, Bücher etc. Sogar an die Kleinsten wird gedacht (Kinderstuhl, Teller, Bettchen, Spiele). Die Wohnung ist ruhig im Dachgeschoss eines Mehrfamilienhaus gelegen. Die Terrasse ist traumhaft. Die Betten bequem. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter ist top, es wird an alles gedacht und ist gut erklärt. Das einzige was wir zu bemängeln haben, das die Wohnung doch schon sehr alt ist, die Bedingung der Dusche zum Beispiel ist etwas umständlich und man muss das warme Wasser 'vorbestellen'. In den Ecken, an der Decke und hinter den Möbeln könnte auch mal wieder sauber gemacht werden.

Appartement très calme
Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable dans cet appartement calme et lumineux grâce à sa terrasse. La literie est très confortable. Dommage qu'il n'y ai pas de douche dans le cabinet de toilette du haut. Nous avons testé le restaurant Klosterscheuer dans le village, il propose de très bons plats typique régionaux. De plus les serveur parle français, anglais et russe.

The apartment is stylish and modern and exactly as is described. It is perfectly located close to the town centre. It is only a short walk from the bus stop 3 minutes and train station 5 minutes. Public transport is cheap reliable and regular. Using the apartment as a base for daily excursions to the cities of Baden- Baden, Heidelberg, Strasburg, and Karlsrue is highly recommended. A car is not necessary for this holiday. Walking or cycling along the well marked and graded forest trails is an excellent way to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the area the combination of ancient woodland and mountains is the perfect antidote to urban stress and modern living generally. Our teenagers say don’t forget to tell them about the Public swimming pool which has a 3m diving board, slides and fountains also included are all weather soccer pitch, tennis and volleyball courts, badminton and table tennis. My wife recommends the Therme Spa with a variety of wonderful pampering treatments and natural relaxants. After enjoying a meal in one of the many fine restaurants in the town centre take a stroll through the town parks which are bedecked with a rainbow of flowers. Finish off the prefect day with an aperitif on the apartment balcony overlooking the town. If you want Fast food and Nightclubs, disco bars and all night parties this is not the place for you. We can’t wait to go back this summer it is our fourth time an every time it is different.

Our second stay at this apartment
We enjoyed staying in this apartment so much in 2013 that we repeated the stay the this year. The building and surroundings to the apartment are really quiet, and yet the centre of Bad Herrenalb is only a few minutes walk away. Its a down hill walk to the town or the supermarket, which of course means an uphill walk back - but that pays of completely with the view from the balcony. We really like the way this apartment is decorated and kept - much nicer than your usual holiday apartment, and we would strongly reccomend staying there.

Great location, Great Apartment, Great Homeowner
We loved Joe's apartment in Bad Herrenalb. It is in a wonderful location. The main street of Bad Herrenalb is just a short walk withrestaurants, shopping, groceries and the beautiful parks. The view is spectacular from the balcony...It was such a treat every morning & see the view. We were fortunate to have wonderful weather and enjoyed dinning there too. The apartment has a spacious living area...more than enough room for the two of us. We highly recommend a stay here. Joe is so resourceful and easy to work with!!

Schöne Ferienwohnung,toller Urlaub !
Wir ,eine vierköpfige Familie,hatten eine sehr schöne Woche in einem tollen Appartment.Es war wie für uns gemacht.So hatten unsere 2 Kinder,sowie meine Frau und ich je ein gemütliches Schlafzimmer im Obergeschoss.Selbst für eine fünfte Person wäre noch ein Klappbett vorhanden gewesen.Die Betten waren sogar schon frisch bezogen,der Duft von Weichspüler lag in der Luft.Wir waren gleich nach dem Betreten der Wohnung begeistert.Ein großes modern eingerichtetes Wohnzimmer mit extra Essbereich und sehr gemütliche Ledergarnitur erwartete uns.Sofort viel unser Blick auf eine große Dachterrasse.Hier genossen wir so manchen Sonnenuntergang mit dem Willkommensgruß des Vermieters(eine Flasche Wein) und genossen den herrlichen Ausblick.Das Wohnzimmer ist mit einer gemütlichen Ledergarnitur und einer Essecke ausgestattet.Kabelfernsehen,DVD-Player und Radio sind vorhanden.Eine kleine Küche,ausgestattet mit E-Herd,Backofen,Mikrowelle, Toaster, sowie Geschirr,Besteck,Gläser,Kochtöpfe und Pfanne für mindestens 6 Personen.Ausserdem sind sogar Fön,Bügelbrett,Bügeleisen,Reinigungsgeräte samt Staubsauger vorhanden.Die Wohnung ist in einem sauberen und gepflegten Zustand.Durch einen kurzen Spaziergang ist das Stadtzentrum zu erreichen.Von hieraus kann man mit verschiedenen öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln schöne Städte wie Baden-Baden,Karlsruhe und viele mehr erreichen.Auch ein Ausflug nach Frankreich ist empfehlenswert.Supermarkt und Bäcker sind vor Ort.Sehr netter Kontakt zum Vermieter und unkomplizierte Wohnungsübergabe.Wir beabsichtigen demnächst wiederzukommen.Vielen Dank und "Thank you",bis bald!

Perfect Location
The apartment is situation in a very quiet residential block. It is equiped with everything you could possibly need, with stunning views over the delightful town and magical Black Forest hills. We spent most of our days walking well marked trails through the hills & forests, finding wonderful places to rest & eat in the most unusual of places. Evenings are best spent on the balcony, looking at the lights of the town, and listening to the owls hooting the forest. There are great transport links from the nearby train station, with regular trams into the heart of nearby Karlsruhe - a splendid city - as well as buses to Baden Baden and all the surrounding towns & villages. You don't need a car once you're here for sure. The air in the Black Forest is unbelievably fresh and clear. No wonder there are so many resorts here. Our one regret is that we ran out of time to try the spas. But, we'll be back to try those soon. A great place to relax, a wonderful location for those looking for something a little different, and the perfect holiday. Joe, many thanks.

Excelente apartamento!! con todas las comodidades
Nuestra estadia en mayo del 2010 fue maravillosa. Y tuvimos mucha lluvia pero lo mismo disfrutamos la comodidad del apto. con todo lo necesario tal cual las fotos lo muestran.Eramos 2 matrimonios y compartimos perfectamente el apto. Nos alojamos en Bad Herrenalb que es precioso pero como teniamos el coche nos desplazamos para el N, S, E y O. Conocimos las ciudades mas importantes y los pequeños pueblitos. Fuimos al Penny Market de la zona y nos equipamos con todo. El dueño una maravilla y la encargada tambien. La unica contra y consejo no viajar con mucho equipaje en este caso hay escaleras!!

Perfect! Great Value. Thanks.
Apartment is only a few mins walk from supermarket, spa, parks, restaurants etc. Apartment was spotlessly clean, big and airy, super balcony lots of space for dinner and sunbathing. Very modern and well maintained. Great kitchen and 2 bathrooms. Comfy sofas, good beds and linen. Good value for money. All the mod cons, tv, dvd, music etc. Really enjoyed our stay at the apartment and the full moon all night spa was amazing! Very pretty village, delicious cakes! Well connected with buses and trains. Hope to be back.

Apartment in Bad Herrenalb
We spent three weeks in this apartment in July 2010 and had a wonderful time. The apartment was clean, tidy and spacious and met all our needs. For what we paid, we got very good value for money - in the past, I have paid a lot more for a lot less. The town of Bad Herrenalb can only be described as picture postcard. It was extremely clean and well kept. There is a lovely park nearby where my children loved to play table tennis. The swimming pool was fantastic and we spent many hours there! There were plenty of restaurants in the town and we were welcomed warmly at all of them. Our favourite was Andi`s Spatzlestube. There are the most beautiful walks on your doorstep. We were never bored during our stay - we hired bikes, swam, walked and visited many places - Europa Park, Baden-Baden, Heidelburg and Switzerland to name a few. At the end of the day, it was lovely to return to a comfortable apartment and enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony overlooking the Black Forest. If you are looking for a relaxing and peaceful break, I can recommend this apartment.

We'd be happy to come back
We spent ten wonderful, relaxing days in the apartment last summer, and we're keen to revisit. The apartment was clean and comfortable. We loved having a choice of two swimming pools within walking distance, an outside pool with diving board and slide, and a more sedate spa pool. Apparently there's a bigger and better outdoor pool just a short tramride away. We didn't need a car as the public transport is excellent, although you'd probably see more scenery and deep Black Forest with one. We visited Baden-Baden (beautiful), Pforzheim (good jewellery museums, otherwise a bit concrete, but it did have a Woolworths!) and Europa-Park (Blue Fire Megacoaster is amazing). Little things like the availability of games were very nice touches. To be really picky - I think the valley is a bit narrow, and there are parts of Bavaria that I prefer. But my daughter and I had a wonderful holiday, and will return, if not this year, then next.

Ideal apartmnent in lovely setting.
The apartment was just right for our needs, it was clean, comfortable and in a lovely peaceful location but within walking distance of the village. We have an 11 and 13 year old who shared the bed in 2nd bedroom - it was huge - 2 large singles put together and they were more than happy to share, though should you need it there was a fold up bed as well. The village of Bad Herrenalb was set in a beautiful location, the drive to it through the forest was gorgeous. The village has a couple of very pretty parks to wander through, shops, restaurants and cafes - we treated ourselves to coffee and the most amazing cakes in Cafe Konig. There are many beautiful and interesting places to visit within about an hours drive away and it's just over a couple of hours to Lake Constance and Switzerland.

The family holiday
It took us sometime until we found our way to the flat. Detailed directions are required plus detailed map. When we arrived we found that the property was clean and tidy. There was some food in the fridge and this was good as we were hungry. The views are spectacular from the balcony and can seat down all day without feeling bored. The L564 road is easier to take rather than the Baden-Baden (i.e. B500) as the latter is full of road sharp curves but it is nicer regarding the forest views. The town itself is very nice and there is a supermarket nearby. However, the visitor needs to know the basics of German language as the local residents do not/ do not like to communicate in English. I would advise anyone who is travelling from the UK to go through Belgium, Luxemburg and finally Germany as there is a lot of toll bridges on French motorways and these tolls did cost us around 50 Euros.
