"We spent a family weekend in the entire house and were thrilled with the amenities – there's an extendable table for everyone in apartment 2 – and the ambiance – such a wonderful old house, beautifully furnished. Sandra is incredibly friendly, proactive in asking questions, and responds quickly to messages and changes in advance. We had a wonderful time with Sandra and wholeheartedly recommend her accommodation."

Stay in February 2025 - Elvira from Germany (review on Google)
"The accommodation was very clean and comfortably furnished. The key handover was completely straightforward, with clear and friendly instructions. The location was simply perfect for us! The charming town provided an ideal base for our Christmas market tour with the girls. We were able to easily reach Karlsruhe, Strasbourg, and Baden-Baden. Thank you so much for the wonderful accommodation – we would love to come back!"
Stay in December 2024 - Victoria from Germany (Google review)
"The apartment is beautiful, and the half-timbered building combines medieval charm with a wonderful, modern interior. It has everything you could possibly need, all in excellent condition, and the apartment is incredibly cozy and simply fantastic. Sandra is very easy to reach by phone and helps immediately. We felt very comfortable and can wholeheartedly recommend the house, the apartment, and Sandra as the landlord."
Stay in June 2024 - Alexander from Germany (review on Airbnb)
"Our holiday home with its three apartments was a fantastic accommodation, perfectly tailored to the needs of our four families. The old half-timbered house is beautiful and stylishly furnished. Everything was very clean (and we are quite particular about that) and very functionally equipped. The provision of all the essentials one needs for a holiday was even better than one would expect in a "normal" holiday home. Sandra's service was excellent: We've stayed in many holiday homes and apartments, but we've never experienced such friendly and helpful service as Sandra's. We were also very impressed by the beautiful town of Kandel and its surroundings: the many lovely old half-timbered houses, the well-maintained grounds, and the leisure facilities, which we unfortunately couldn't all use or visit due to the mixed weather and short stay. The friendliness of the people was also wonderful. We would love to come back again."

Stay in February 2024 - Sina from Germany (review on Booking.com)
"Very friendly contact, direct response to all inquiries. We rented all three apartments for our family reunion... The apartments are superbly equipped, very clean, and decorated with great care and taste. We were there during Advent; the Christmas decorations were tasteful, and there were bowls of peanuts and walnuts everywhere – very personal and cozy. The mattresses are excellent, with oversized duvets, various pillow sizes, and a fantastic range of amenities."
Stay in December 2023 - Cornelia and family from Germany (review on Booking.com)
"A very beautiful, tastefully furnished holiday apartment where we immediately felt at home. We were there with friends on a hiking trip and thoroughly enjoyed our time at AVAHOME :) The location was a fantastic starting point for our excursions. The apartment is equipped with everything you could possibly need. Both bathrooms are clean and modern. The entire apartment has been thoughtfully and lovingly furnished with attention to detail. The charm of the old half-timbered house adds to the appeal :) Our stay was made even better by the excellent communication and smooth check-in. Thank you so much!"

Stay in October 2023 - Felix and friends from Germany (review on Airbnb)
"We were very, very satisfied! We had the pleasure of staying here during a cycling tour through the beautiful Palatinate region. Everything was very clean, well-maintained, and beautifully furnished. Coffee, tea... simply everything your heart could desire. Close to the town of Kandel, and opposite is a great butcher shop – with a self-service vending machine. We'll be back during the holidays, this time with our friends, and we'll rent the whole house – we're already looking forward to it!"
