Résidence Pierre & Vacances La Petite Venise
Apartments with a heated indoor pool on Avenue Joffre, 300 m from Colmar's centre
Superb · 2476 reviews
About this stay
Avenue Joffre is on the station side of Colmar, so you can walk in with luggage, about 800 m, and reach the old town and Little Venice on foot in minutes. Units range from a studio for two to one-bedroom apartments for four and three-room duplexes for five; the duplexes mean stairs inside the flat. Bed linen and towels are included. Keys are handed over between 5 pm and 7 pm only, a detail that catches out late arrivals. The covered car park inside the residence is paid and subject to availability, so reserve it with the apartment, especially in Christmas market season. The building has a lift, which helps with pushchairs and heavy suitcases.

Our take
La Petite Venise sits at 11 Avenue Joffre, about 300 m from Colmar's centre, and its heated indoor pool with a paddling pool is what sets it apart from the apartments of the old town. I would book it for a family who wants to cook, swim after a day of half-timbered streets and walk everywhere: the station is about 800 m away, so the car can stay at home. Two things to plan: keys are only handed over from 5 pm to 7 pm, and the covered parking must be reserved. An 8.5 score from 2,476 reviews is consistent for a residence of this kind.
- ✓Plan your arrival for the key handover window, 5 pm to 7 pm: outside it, nobody hands over the apartment.
- ✓Reserve the covered parking when you book: it is paid, inside the residence, and only available while spaces last.
- ✓With children under six, ask for a non-duplex apartment: the three-room duplexes for five come with stairs inside.
- ✓If your dog travels, bring its pet passport: animals are accepted for a supplement, and the passport is required.
Why we love it
- A pool you can use in any season, indoors and heated
- A play area in the garden for younger children
- Old town about 300 m away, station about 800 m
- A kitchen in every apartment for meals at children's hours
- Covered parking inside the residence
Why guests love itThe heated indoor pool and its paddling pool are what make La Petite Venise work for families in any season, with a garden play area outside for younger children. Apartments with a kitchen let you eat at children's hours, and the duplexes for five give parents their own floor, although the inner stairs need watching with toddlers. Linen and towels are included, so there is no need to pack them. The old town and Little Venice are about 300 m away on foot, and the station about 800 m, which makes a car-free stay realistic. Expect a residence rather than a hotel: no restaurant and limited key-collection hours.
