Bacchus Holiday Homes is the vacation-rental brand in the UNESCO Upper Middle Rhine Valley — built for maximum experiences per hour: Rhine romance, castles, hiking, and a fresh perspective every day.
Altstadtquartier 16 is your flexible basecamp in the historic Old Town of Bacharach. This listing is the Entire Apartment (1–16 guests) — perfect for friends, families travelling together, clubs, and small groups, and also a great choice for 2–4 guests who simply want more space, more privacy, and the balcony highlight with castle views.
Why this works especially well for longer stays
The Middle Rhine is not a one-day destination. Bacharach is an ideal hub: short walks to the Rhine promenade, boat pier, train connections, wine taverns, cafés and trail access — so you can build a different “best day” every day without changing location. Many guests stay 3–7 nights (and often extend) because the region rewards slow travel: castles, viewpoints, hikes, river cruises and wine villages in both directions along the Rhine.
Entire Apartment layout (space + structure for groups)
Altstadtquartier 16 combines two separate areas in the same building — giving your group structure and privacy instead of “everyone in one room”.
- 2 kitchens / 2 living areas (great for meals, planning, and splitting into smaller groups)
- 5 bedrooms
- 2 bathrooms + an additional guest WC
- Balcony highlight with views towards Burg Stahleck and the Old Town rooftops
- Sleeping comfort: up to 12 guests in proper beds; additional sleeping options for guests 13–16 are sofa beds (partly in open gallery areas)
Location: Bacharach Old Town (UNESCO Upper Middle Rhine Valley)
From here you can explore the iconic Middle Rhine highlights efficiently — by train, boat, hiking routes or short day trips. Popular routes include the Loreley area, St. Goar / St. Goarshausen, Kaub (Pfalzgrafenstein Castle), Bingen / Rüdesheim, and Koblenz. Hiking is a key theme in the region, with well-known trails and panoramic routes that work perfectly as day trips from Bacharach.
