The most popular houses in 2024 — Part 2: Guest houses

Medi­ter­ranean muse: The listed manor Le Ros­signol in the German wine-growing region Mark­gräf­lerland is a carefully reno­vated, atmo­spheric place that com­bines history and zeit­geist with the lightness of sou­thern France.

Tra­dition in fresh colours: With its five holiday apar­te­ments, the Black Forest farm­house on the sou­thern slope of the Wutach Gorge balances his­to­rical building fabric, authen­ticity and con­tem­porary comfort.

Con­tem­porary art between baroque beams: the Engelwirt Apart­ments in Alt­mühltal combine his­to­rical ele­ments with curated modern works and details. With a sus­tainable focus and regional emphasis.

Like a fortress, the small medieval town of Diano Cas­tello towers over the Ligurian land­scape. In Palazzo Fabiny you feel as if you have been trans­ported to a bygone era, because the history of the old patrician house goes back almost 400 years.

Poetic archi­tecture and haute cuisine on the Loire: tog­ether with architect Patrick Bouchain, the Troisgros family has trans­formed an old farm­house into an excellent restaurant with spec­ta­cular accom­mo­dation.

Lob­locher Hof is a winery built in 1841 in the pic­turesque wine village of Gim­mel­dingen on the edge of the Pala­tinate Forest and offers apart­ments with a mix from coun­tryside ambience and modern ele­ments.

Slow down in an indus­trial monument: Schlei­ferei Zwei in Sie­bertal is an atmo­spheric lost place with authentic charm, airy loft cha­racter and a warm, off-the-beaten-track atmo­sphere.

At Ansitz Hohenegg you can leave everyday life behind you. This former farm­stead on a mountain ridge in the Allgäu is sur­rounded by high spruces on a sunny clearing and pro­mises pure rela­xation, thanks simply its solitary location amidst nature.
