Yes, Konstanz is a most beautiful city which combines stunning setting in between the lake and the mountains with a charming, completely undestroyed medieval architecture. Most houses in the city have been built in between the 14th and 16th century and are in perfect shape. And, no, Konstanz is not cheap. Nor is Villa Barleben. However, in the grand scheme... More

The historic home is absolutely beautiful and decorated well. The large private lot right on the lake is the perfect location because it is relaxing while still being less than a ten minute walk from the center of town for all of your shopping and historic tourism desires. The rooms were very large with a nice view of the lake... More

When we arrived (2 pm) they apologised that our... More

The entry and guests lounge... More

Never before had we slept with a puma standing guard in front of our bedroom. Not that we needed extra protection in these peaceful surroundings, a few steps from the perfectly kept lake promenade just outside the historic town of Constance. It was by mere chance that we came upon the Villa Barleben, idly looking for a place to spend... More

If you are looking for something completely different - this is your choise. Off the beaten track, 20 meters from the Bodensee, you will find this oasis. You will hear the bird songs, the boats blowing their whissels and the people chatting happily passing the hotel on the small walking path between the garden and the see. Only 8 rooms... More
