Palais Wunderlich

My husband had to travel to Lahr for business and since we were going to be staying for a few days we decided to rent an apartment. It was the best decision. Palais Wunderlich was simply perfect. It was like staying at a bed and breakfast with the privacy of a home rental. The apartments were spacious, clean, modern and very well appointed. The attention to detail and hospitality that the Hugenberg family provided exceed all expectations. Make sure to get breakfast with your stay. We enjoyed a flight of homemade jams, delicious coffee and great conversation daily. And, be sure to visit their wine cellar for an excellent bottle of wine too! We look forward to our return to Lahr and to Palais Wunderlich!

Wir hatten ein sehr schönes Apartment. Gross, ruhig und haben sehr gut geschlafen. Wir konnten das Auto in der Tiefgarage parkieren. Das Zentrum ist nur ein paar Gehminuten zu Fuss entfernt.

This is a hidden gem and needs to be made known to all who may visit the city of Lahr Germany. We arrived early afternoon of 19 June 2023 and were checked in by the friendly Eba who gave us a tour of the grounds, showed us to our unit and arranged parking in the underground lift garage - that was a first for us, an elevator for our car. Our one bedroom unit was well appointed with everything we needed for our stay, comfortable furnishings, plenty of clothing storage, a safe, comfortable bed, bath towels, hair dryer, etc. The kitchen had all we needed to prep a simple seat down meal and enjoy morning coffee with a French press. The fridge is a half size style appliance but adequate for our food purchases for our stay - no freezer however but frozen goods can be stored in the freezer in the “garden/party” room adjacent to the outdoor terrace area. There is an induction range with oven and plenty of cutlery, utensils and dinner ware - all you need really. Everything was very clean on our arrival, no complaints whatsoever and the property looked just as advertised - any surprises were pleasant ones. The grounds are fantastic, a large walled in grass area with sun and shade for relaxing, lots of loungers and chairs, fruit trees and lovely flowers and a child’s play area with trampoline and sandbox. It is private altho a little noisy during some times in the day as there is a primary school adjacent - the sounds of children playing. The family keep pet rabbits so we enjoyed a daily routine of feeding them carrots, they are tame and friendly. The stone terrace is another area for seating next to a trellis of grape vines and handy to the well stocked drinks room where you can help yourself to wine, beer and other beverages on a pay as you go system - there is a checklist in your room to record what you consume - a great idea! There is also a cafe/lounge where you can get a freshly brewed espresso and perhaps sample some cake and preserves that are made on site from the fruit trees in the garden. We chose several varieties to take home to Canada. Take note that there is no air conditioning here and we visited when a heat wave was happening so it can get a bit warm in the apartment. Keeping things closed up during the hottest hours worked best and we were able to catch cooler breezes in the evening for sleep with the windows open. Nights are very quiet and there is no sound of other guests as the thick stones walls prevent that. Our host could not have been more friendly and kind, Alexandra checked in with us daily when passing in the courtyard and we were able to sit for visits to learn more about Palais Wunderlich and a bit about one another. Any questions or requests were answered immediately as she lives onsite with her family. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and will be recommending this property to friends who may visit the area as well as our Travel Agent. Thank you Alexandra for making our stay so enjoyable and comfortable and we wish you much
