Häuser Der Villa Italia

The personell was amazing. Beside the friendly welcome, the guy helped us to find a better accomodation, even if the booking error was on our side. At the end, we got a very modern room in the main building (pls note that that are different buildings for this hotel). The room was clean, modern, nice to go back every evening. I reccomend to go eating at the golf club, not pricey, nice food and atmosphere.

Comfortable, big room with full size proper bed for our teenager sun. Lovely vegetarian breakfast. Kind staff at reception, lady in kitchen not so kind.

The receptionist was extremely warm and welcoming. We truly felt like guests. As this hotel is well off the beaten track, I don't think that many American visitors stay here. If you want to experience a small town/village environment, this is a perfect location. We had a bit of a challenge finding the hotel as the preferred exit from the autobahn was closed due to construction. We had to go to the next exit and circle back along a not so well marked detour. I suggest calling ahead to get specific directions from the autobahn if you are unfamiliar with the area. Thank goodness for the rental car GPS which was a great help winding our way through a few small villages to get to the hotel. Our departure was a slight challenge as well. We were advised that the entrance to the west bound autobahn was open; it was not. We simply headed eastbound on the autobahn to the next exit and reversed our direction. Turned out to be a very easy, straightforward detour.

The decor is old school (which we really liked!), the veg breakfast was awesome, and the neighborhood was pretty to walk around in (nice gaardens). It has free parking and a free laundry machine. It's hot in the summer (no a/c), but it didn't bother us because they provided a strong fan. The coffee system was a little confusing (you either use tokens), but it's free at breakfast. The Coffee was OK, not great... But that's my only con in the otherwise great stay! Oh one other tip: they have a guest kitchen, but you have to ask them for a key to use it - and you can keep the key for the whole of your stay. We arrived after hours (when reception wasn't there), and we had food so we didn't have a way to refrigerate the food the first night. Maybe the staff could make the kitchen rules clearer ahead of time to make sure this doesn't happen to others who arrive after hours.
