"What a wonderful stay at the Rosengarten Hotel & Cafe. I stayed in one of their other grand Victorian houses for a week. Villa Germania is not as grand as the primary property, but it is a grand, historic and well-looked-after house. The double room was spacious and comfortable. It had a modern bathroom with an overhead rain shower, perfect for relaxing after a hectic travel day. It is an excellent short walk to the center pedestrian main street, where a wide variety of shops and restaurants help you enjoy this beautiful German village. An absolute dream of a holiday!
