Vacation rentals in Deidesheim on the German Wine Route
Deidesheim is at the heart of Palatinate wine culture: wine estates, vineyards with a long history, plenty of restaurants and the Palatinate Forest right behind the village. Nine of our apartments are here, right by the spa gardens.
Living by the spa gardens
Our two houses stand on An der Marlach, right next to the spa gardens with their small pond. The station and the market square are just a few minutes’ walk away. Bakeries, a Wasgau supermarket, playgrounds and restaurants are close by.
Wine, forest and good food
The vineyards start at the edge of the village, and some sites are documented back to the Middle Ages: Kieselberg is mentioned as early as 1234, Leinhöhle in 1310. Many wine estates invite you to tastings, and for a small town Deidesheim has a remarkable number of restaurants.
Our houses by the spa gardens
Haus Mandelgarten and Haus Paradiesgarten stand side by side on An der Marlach. Right next to them are the spa gardens with a playground and a small pond.

Two houses, named after vineyards
The M apartments are in Haus Mandelgarten, the P apartments next door in Haus Paradiesgarten. Both houses date from 1985. Paradiesgarten has been renovated; in Mandelgarten the hallway and staircase are still in their original 1980s condition, with a few antiques.
Each apartment is named after a vineyard around the village, from Grainhübel to Paradiesgarten. The Paradiesgarten vineyard is known in Deidesheim for a special tradition: individual vines there were leased to prominent guests.
