Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

A heated indoor pool sits alongside a mosaic-accented sun pavilion with cushioned loungers facing the garden.
The thermal baths
Marble columns frame a circular rotunda with foot basins, leading into Finnish and bio-saunas and a steam bath.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant Schwarzmatt
Multi-course menus combine Baden regional terroir with French technique in wood-accented dining rooms that open onto the garden.
At the table
Afternoon Kaffeezeit brings house-made Black Forest cake. Later, the fireside lounge pours regional Markgräflerland wines around an open hearth.
How it began
Founded in 1967 as Pension Siesta by the Mast-Bareiss family, the property gradually expanded into a dedicated thermal retreat.
