Swabian village inn
This is a traditional German inn, where guests gather for hearty regional cooking and carafes of local wine.
What it’s good at
Notable
Swabian dishes like Maultaschen served in a wood-paneled Gaststube within wine country.
Listed
An eighteenth-century guesthouse where the historic cow barn now houses the kitchen.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This 18C guesthouse is invested with plenty of heart and soul – namely that of the Rembold family, which has run this place with great dedication for several decades.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Vineyard trails wind through the surrounding Zabergäu hills, and the historic monastery at Maulbronn is a short drive away.
The rooms
Warm timber and natural fabrics furnish the bedrooms, and the bathrooms come with underfloor heating.
Adler Restaurant
The kitchen prepares Swabian Zwiebelrostbraten and seasonal game, served at white-linen tables beneath modern brass chandeliers.
How it began
Erich Rembold leased the property in 1970 for its butcher shop, later transforming the rundown tavern into a thriving inn.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
