Your Hosts

So glad you are here

We are Irene and Gerd. It is important to us that you feel welcome from the very first moment. That is why we have furnished our step-free holiday apartment with great care, a sense of calm and attention to the little details.

Across 125 m², couples and families have plenty of space for relaxing holidays. Two terraces, the spacious garden, and meadows and fields right outside the door combine home comfort with the tranquillity of the Hunsrück.

For us, personal hospitality also includes a small gesture: a bottle of regional wine will be waiting for you on arrival.

We look forward to welcoming you personally in Braunshorn.
