Friz B&B and Lounge

Apartment // Bed & Breakfast Friz B&B and Lounge

An urban loft ambience in an historic barn! In a little village near Freiburg in Germany’s Breisgau region, this heritage listed barn dating to 1824 is now welcoming holiday guests – the farm animals having long since moved out. Melanie Thoma and her husband Ron van Es have completely rebuilt and restored the building Melanie inherited from her grandparents. On the ground floor they created five apartments and a lounge. Traditional rural elements such as old timber beams and stone walls are combined with fair-faced concrete and open floor plans. The 35 to 70 sqm apartments consist of a living room with a kitchen, one to two open bedrooms and a modern bathroom. They also include a roofed outdoor area. The apartments are characterised by their urban aesthetic and feature furniture classics testament to the owners’ passion for design.

The street-facing lounge with its broad windows, rustic half-timbered walls and comfy atmosphere will invite you to recline on the Chesterfield sofa, perch on the windowsills or at the dining table, and leaf through books drinking specialty coffee while the kids are busy with the available toys.

What to do

The barn is located at the centre of Gundelfingen, on the outskirts of Freiburg. Shops, restaurants, recreational activities, playgrounds and public transport are all within walking distance. Freiburg can be reached in 15 minutes by tram. Numerous hiking and biking trails invite you to discover the surroundings (for example Markgräflerland, Kaiserstuhl, Glottertal, the Black Forest, Europa Park, Alsace and Switzerland) and you can even go skiing or golfing.

Why we like this house

The apartments are cool and inspiring, the perfect location to combine a city and countryside holiday.

This house is great for

Single travellers, couples, families. Short stays, weekend getaways, family vacations or business trips. Longer term stays of several months to one year are also possible.

Wir waren heuer mit 2 weiteren Familien ( mit einigen kleinen Kindern) bei Ron und es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Der kleine abgezäunte Garten und das Kiesbeet vor der Tür war optimal für die Kids zum Spielen. Es gibt auch viele interessante Kunstobjekte am Anwesen zu entdecken, nicht zu vergessen die vielen Stühle und Sesseln, die eine Leidenschaft des Hausherren darstellen. Er hat uns auch die Welt der Eames Chairs näher gebracht. Erst nach dem Besuch des Vitra Campus konnten wir erkennen, dass die Appartments ein quasi einen Vitra Showroom darstellen – nur eben im Live Modus. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt bei Ron und sogar einmal sein wunderbares Frühstück in der Werkstatt geniessen können.

Der Aufenthalt bei Melanie und Ron war großartig. Die 70m2 Wohnung in der alten Scheune ist architektonisch großartig gelöst und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet mit einer Mischung aus modernen Elementen und Design-Klassikern, dazu viele tolle Bücher. Das Frühstück im angeschlossenen Café ist reduziert, dafür umso hochwertiger mit Müsli, Smoothies und frischem Brot vom Bäcker. Man kommt mit den beiden schnell ins Gespräch und fühlt sich sofort pudelwohl. Auch die Lage der Scheune ist nahezu perfekt, weil man in wenigen Minuten in der Innenstadt in Freiburg ist oder eben auch in der Natur. Ein toller Ort, den man so vielleicht im Schwarzwald gar nicht erwarten würde. Wir werden wiederkommen!
