The owners, who built the hotel themselves, also run a local construction company. Deeply connected to their region, they wanted to create more than just a place to stay, a project that contributes to the local community and welcomes travellers eager to discover the charm of the Rheingau.
Spacious and full of natural light, the rooms are elegantly decorated with soft tones and natural materials. Each features a balcony or terrace overlooking the surrounding landscape. The modern bathrooms include a walk-in shower, make-up mirror, hairdryer, bathrobes and slippers.
The Weit.Blick Loge (± 25 m²) and the larger Weit.Blick Junior Suite (± 45 m²) stand out for their beautiful panoramic views over the green surroundings. The family suites are ideal for families, with a separate master bedroom with double bed and a connecting room with bunk beds for the children.

Culture and history lovers will enjoy visiting the 12th-century Kloster Eberbach (± 4 km), a former Cistercian abbey with impressive architecture and its own vineyards. The region is also home to numerous castles, such as the romantic Burg Reichenstein, the historic Schloss Johannisberg (home to the first Riesling vineyard of the Rheingau) and Burg Sooneck, known for its iconic view over the Rhine.
