The room was nice, large and clean. Staff was nice, polite, professional and willing to solve any problem (although sometimes struggling with communication in English). Parking is free (we could park our pretty long van in front of the hotel and were offered a garage to park our motorbikes). The restaurant seems to have a good reputation as it was always totally full in the evenings so booking a table is recommended. The meals were very good and tasty (a bit pricey, though) but the portions were very large (more than we needed). Breakfast offered a selection of pastry, dairy products - butter, cheese, yoghurt, etc., ham, salamy, smoked salmon, scrambled / hard boiled eggs, hot sausage, drinks like tea, various types of juice and coffee from an espresso machine (really nice). You may need to get used to the church bell (40 metres away - so it is quite loud) chiming every 15 minutes, but some people may find it romantic. We went for walks every evening and within 5 minutes in any direction you will find yourselves between the fields, orchards or vineyards. There are plenty of bike paths around and a train station 3 minutes away if you want to visit Freiburg, which we recommend. If you get the guest card at the reception then you travel for free, the journey takes only about 15 minutes, the trains leave every 30 minutes and Freiburg is worth visiting). Schwarzwald mountain range is literally round the corner if you are into cycling, hiking or riding a motorbike. We just did't go to the sauna because the weather was really hot.

Read moreIn August 2020 my husband and I planed to have our wedding ceremony, despite the challenges presented by the corona virus. ||After a short-notice cancelation of a vacation home, the Löwen Gasthaus Staff rescued our Wedding Weekend. The staff was so helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a lovely wedding experience. The ‚altbau’ has a wonderful character and our room had a beautiful view to the vineyards and mountains, couldn’t ask for a nicer view. The breakfast was fresh and tasty, especially the fresh berries every morning. Given corona time, they made special efforts to maintain hygiene rules, which I really appreciated! ||||Even more special was the remarkable dinner the head chef made for us the night after our ceremony. The Löwen Gasthaus is a Family run Hotel that really gives the family feeling. We couldn’t have asked for better experience for our wedding weekend. Thank you Löwen...
