Eighty Square Metres of Considered Living
The R Apartment Hagen occupies a well-maintained residential building on Schutzengraben 24, a quiet street that runs along the old fortification line of Schaffhausen's historic centre. The address places you within easy walking distance of the Rhine waterfront, the medieval Munot fortress, and the dense cluster of painted guild houses that give Schaffhausen its distinctive character. The apartment spans 80 square metres across a thoughtfully arranged floor plan that avoids the cramped feeling common to many urban short-term rentals.
The interior carries a warm, unfussy quality — wide-plank timber flooring runs through the main living spaces, walls are finished in light neutral tones that shift pleasantly through the day as the Swiss light changes, and the furniture has been chosen for comfort as much as appearance. The kitchen is fully equipped for extended stays, with adequate worktop space, standard appliances, and a dining area large enough to seat the full party of six. Living and sleeping zones are clearly separated, giving families and small groups genuine room to coexist without negotiating space.
Schaffhausen itself is often bypassed in favour of Zurich or Basel, which means the city retains an unhurried, genuinely local atmosphere that is increasingly rare in Switzerland. The old town is compact and walkable, with a Saturday market, independent wine shops, and a handful of serious restaurants drawing produce from the surrounding canton. The Rhine waterfall at Neuhausen — the largest plain waterfall in Europe — is a short tram or taxi ride away and makes for a natural half-day outing regardless of season.
The apartment is managed by Elevate Schweiz GmbH, who handle everything from key handover to any questions during your stay. Communication is direct and responsive. Check-in is flexible and coordinated in advance to suit your arrival time, making the practical side of the stay as straightforward as the space itself.
