What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
today it’s a collage of historical and modern structures, and its interiors mix classic inspiration with contemporary cool.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Terraced vineyards rise directly behind the village, leading up to Schloss Staufenberg on the ridge above the valley.
The rooms
Top spa suites feature indoor whirlpool tubs and private rooftop terraces equipped with outdoor saunas.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An indoor swimming pool sits beneath exposed timber beams, joined by an illuminated circular hot tub against stone walls.
The spa
Glass-fronted fireplaces and rustic timber beams warm the relaxation lounges, set steps from a 42-degree herbal inhalation chamber.
Restaurant
Makidan
Dark wood panelling and crystal chandeliers fill the dining room, where evening menus draw on Black Forest game and wild herbs.
At the table
A suit of armour stands beside the backlit timber counter at Ritter Bar, which serves classic cocktails and fine whiskies.
How it began
The property began as a seventeenth-century tavern, housing the tithe cellars that stored wine for nearby All Saints Abbey.
