What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
What Dominique and Erik Essink have created is worthy of the name boutique hotel with its warm tones, fine fabrics and clean, modern lines.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Kressbronn station is two minutes away on foot, with the shores and swimming spots of Lake Constance just beyond.
The rooms
Individually styled suites feature clean modern lines, with freestanding bathtubs and marble accents gracing select layouts.
At the table
Four-course dinners focus on Mediterranean flavors at Restaurant Meersalz, which opens onto a garden terrace shaded by a foxglove tree.
How it began
Built in 1923 by a local stonemason family, the masonry villa was restored and reopened in 2010 as a private hideaway.
