Paying 200 euro a person for the gourmet meal was what we expected and is in line with other restaurants of the category. However for the standard room price tag of 169 euro, without breakfast, in a location that couldn’t attract other guests than those planning to eat in the restaurant, we had expected something else. We found a decent... More

Perhaps we had been spoilt by the other relais and chateau properties we had visited on this trip. The food was fine but not outstanding, the kitchen somewhat inflexible. The room was fine but not great and the view disappointing I was surprised having been told we had to pay an additional 70 euros to have a second person in... More

Villa Hammerschmiede, a Relais & Chateaux property, is more of a suitable destination for those in need of relaxation in countryside and would truly enjoy a gourmet vacation. The property's location is within 30-60 minutes drive of towns such as Baden-Baden, Stuttgart, Heidelberg and Freiburg. Other than that, there is really not much to do or see in immediate surrounding.... More

As a jaded New Yorker, who has stayed in many of the best hotels around the world, I wasn't sure what to expect at this small Relais and Chateaux property located in the Baden-Baden area. But from beginning to end, I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. It's a small hotel - a gorgeous building set in a beautiful park... More

My husband and I had a fantastic 3 days at this lovely German boutique hotel and spa in Pfinztal. The staff could not have been more accommodating and the food was amazing. In a great location near Baden-Baden and Heidelburg. A must for anyone who is interested in a tranquil hotel out of the city with excellent service, large, sumptious... More

We cannot rave enough about this hotel. The room, staff and food could not have been better. We certainly would return again. More

We stayed here for one night, on our way to a ski trip in Austria. Our room was very comfortable, with a bowl of fruit waiting for us on arrival (most welcome after a long day's driving). The staff were very helpful on arrival, coming down to the garage to help us park and show us the way into the... More

This place is phenomenal. A very beautiful, clean, well-maintained hotel. It is sort of like a country inn, but it's bigger than a country inn. It is more like a small hotel, but without the cramped, small hotel feel. The rooms are impeccably cleaned and maintained. They're big and the bathrooms are American-sized. The restaurant downstairs is very expensive, but... More

We stayed at this hotel on the 26th and 27th of december 2006. Unfortunately, only two days, but in time to taste the Xmas menu of 6 courses which was still available. Superb meal to say the least. Each course was a unique explosion of scents and flavours. It is a mystery why it is not classified a Relais Gourmand... More
