Old town and yet quiet, castle view, tasteful, a dream

The apartment is on 2 floors (2nd floor and attic). Both floors are furnished with taste and high quality. The castle view makes this apartment truly unique. You can enjoy it from the dining area, from the balcony, from both bathrooms, from bedroom 1 and from the studio in the attic. This is rare to find in Heidelberg.

The two tastefully designed bathrooms offer heated floors and extensive equipment: WC, bidet, large shower, large sink with mirror.

In the apartment there is an intelligent HEPA UV air purifier, aircleaner according to the studies of RKI and WHO this helps against corona viruses, filters dust, odors, allergens, microorganisms and chemical substances.

Included in the rental price is the use of high-speed internet, towels, bed linens and tea towels. A small selection of coffee pods (Tassimo) is provided to get you started.

The history of the house, which today offers 4 holiday apartments, dates back to the 15th century. At that time, it served as the house of the forester of the castle. The house is located in the center of the old town in the immediate vicinity of the Heiliggeistkirche, the town hall and market square and on the outer edge of the pedestrian area. It thus offers all the advantages of the city center with regard to tourist destinations, restaurants and other activities. Since the apartment is located in a quiet side street, it is wonderfully quiet.

The house and apartments were completely renovated from 2012 to 2014 and connected to district heating in March 2014. Today the house combines historic walls with 21st century amenitites. The apartments are furnished in a tasteful and modern style and fully equipped.

Location:

In the historic old town of Heidelberg, in a side street to the pedestrian zone (main street). To the mountain railroad, which goes to the Heidelberg Castle, as well as to the next bus stop it is 1-2 minutes by foot. Here you will also find the nearest parking garage. (Information about the parking garage) The nearest highway exit is only 10 minutes away by car and the train station is only 5 minutes away by bus or cab. You can also walk to the castle in about 15 minutes (very nice path). In the immediate vicinity you will find the Heidelberg City Hall, the Heiliggeistkirche, many restaurants, cinemas and stores. A grocery store and bakery are within 2 minutes walking distance. In a few minutes you are at the old university, several museums, the Neckar river with excursion possibilites to the Neckar valley and many other attractions.

Visits to Speyer or Schwetzingen are possible within 20-30 minutes driving time and are worthwhile.

Wonderful memories made! Our family spent Christmas week here, enjoying the close proximity to the Christmas markets and everything old town. The castle views were magical and the apartment very comfortable for our family to stay. There were basic necessities (kitchen basic supplies, umbrellas), and even some nice touches (heated bathroom floors)! My family of 5 stayed here comfortably, and my parents stayed at a smaller unit in the bottom of the building, which was perfect because it had less stairs. Highly recommend!

The apartment was perfect for our family to enjoy a week in Heidelberg. The location is excellent. The apartment views are spectacular! We were there during Christmas markets and while the location was right there amongst the fun it was peaceful and quiet at night. The apartment was very comfortable. It was spotless and had easy access to a grocery store for breakfast items and drinks. The kitchen had all the supplies needed if you choose to cook in. We enjoyed all the great restaurants. The host was kind enough to let us check in a bit early as we arrived earlier than expected and it was inclement weather and had to be dropped off by car service. The only kind advice I would pass on is, as the beds are extremely comfortable, the pillows were not. Perhaps additional pillows of a different type to choose from would provide a bit more comfort. Overall, I would highly recommend this property. Thank you!

Wonderful apartment in beautiful Heidelberg
The apartment was exactly as described - extremely well-equipped and spotlessly prepared. The location is excellent - only a few paces from Heidelberg's main street. All shopping needs are catered for nearby (we thoroughly recommend the bakery Zeit Fur Brot!). A boat trip on the Neckar, a visit to the wonderful Heidelberg castle (visible from the apartment), a walk on Philosophers' Way and a lovely organ concert in the Church of the Holy Spirit were highlights of our stay. Thanks to Martina, the apartment owner, for her excellent communication. We thoroughly recommend a stay here.

Perfect Location
The castle views are wonderful and the apartment location is equally phenomenal. The apartment is spacious, clean and quiet. Numerous shops and restaurants are surprisingly close and just a few steps away. The apartment had plenty of space for our family of 6, and in the July heat, the air conditioned attic level was a blessing. When we had questions, the owner responded very quickly and positively. We would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect Apartment for my family’s holiday.
We could not have asked for a better apartment for our vacation. The location is fantastic and only a block from the main street with all of the shops and restaurants. You have a view of the castle from the window and balcony. The apartment was clean and exactly as described. The property manager was fantastic and quickly responded when my teenage son locked all the keys in the apartment by mistake. Highly recommend.

Apartment is well equipped with an exceedingly thoughtful touch. We could use scissors to take off a tag; it’s there. Well equipped kitchen. Delightful toy box for almost four year old! Location was wonderful and view of castle outstanding. My legs appreciated the workout that the winding stairs provided and gave a reminder that I need to exercise more Thank you!!!!

Wonderful property and location
We loved staying at this updated and extremely clean apartment. It is wonderfully located in the old town of Heidelberg near the Hauptstrasse and just a funicular ride up to the Castle. The beds were comfortable, and with two bedrooms and a bath located downstairs (along with the kitchen and living room) and a bedroom and bath plus a sitting room upstairs, we, two couples, had the space and privacy we needed. The deck is wonderful and offers exceptional views of the Castle, as do three other spaces in the apartment. The apartment is located on the third floor, so there are steps to climb. We are in our 70s and considered them our exercise for the day. I would definitely enjoy staying here again!

Clean and great location!
We rented this beautiful apartment in the centre of Heidelberg Altstadt to host my family during a destination wedding. Everything about our stay was wonderful, and I highly recommend this booking or anyone who is looking for a relaxing retreat while still being only steps away from marktplatz. The apartment was on the 3rd and 4th floor, and it offered a full kitchen with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The balcony offered stunning views of Heidelberg Palace and was a great place to relax when you just needed to get a bit of peace and quiet.

Amazing VRBO experience!
I cannot overstate how much we enjoyed staying at this property. Everything was well documented for our arrival, the host was very communicative, the place was clean and huge! Our kids loved it, the kitchen had everything we needed, the balcony was awesome with a view of the castle, the neighborhood was so quaint, and the location to everything you need was perfect! You are a mere 1 min walk to a bus stop, and the Bergbahn to travel up the mountain to the castle. A 1 min walk the other direction puts you on the Main Street where you can buy food, eat out, go shopping, etc. I don’t think it gets better, honestly.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Himmelreich apartment in Heidelberg City Center, the location was incredible with the Heidelberg Schloss just steps from the doorway and an abundance of amazing restaurants and shopping. The apartment was modern and well appointed with all the amenities our family needed for a comfortable extended stay. There is an incredible view of the Castle from apartment which we truly enjoyed. The owners were readily available and very helpful with check in and check out. We will definitely be back!

Great host
The apartment is great. Location is perfect for walking to main Heidelberg attractions like the castle, bridge, old town markets, etc. The host was kind enough to help us get packages delivered before Christmas, which we really appreciated. The only cautionary item for those considering booking is that there are a lot of narrow staircases to maneuver in order to access the apartment. So if you have large bags or are in any way unable to climb many floors, it may not be ideal for you. Otherwise, it is perfect!

Perfect Stay In Old Town Heidelberg!
The location was perfect as the main square is just a stroll from your door! We loved the electronic check-in system, as we always hate to have others waiting for us to arrive. The apartment is beautiful and well equipped. The views of the castle and surrounding hillside are amazing from the rooms and the patio. The air-conditioning was an added bonus as it was very hot during our stay. All of the beds were very comfortable, and there were plenty of pillows! If stairs are an issue for you, note that this apartment is on the top floor, with steep steps. Also, this apartment is in a pedestian-only area. It is easy to access with a car though. We dropped off our belongings, then turned in our car rental so we would not have to deal with parking.

We had a great time. We really enjoyed that the apartment span over two floors and is very spacious.

We also appreciated the feeling of an old style building, court yard and all. Check in was super easy and our requests were followed up on quickly without delay.
