The Accommodation
This cozy and stylish ground-floor loft apartment can accommodate up to three people—making it perfect for families or groups of friends.

As a family, we extensively renovated the beautiful Art Nouveau Villa Weitmar, built in 1906, and created six unique apartments with great attention to detail and custom craftsmanship. The extensive modernization included, among other things, replacing the wooden beam ceilings with reinforced concrete ceilings, installing a sound-insulated floor with underfloor heating, and adding custom-built wooden fixtures. The lime-cement plaster with lime putty, combined with a ceiling height of approximately four meters, ensures a pleasant and restful indoor climate. The aesthetic appeal of the reinforced concrete ceilings was preserved, and we restored them to exposed concrete finishes. The entire building was equipped with a sustainable heating system.

For a restful stay:
To ensure nothing stands in the way of your time off, soundproof windows shield you from noise and street traffic. The electric blackout shades ensure a restful night’s sleep in the king-size double bed—day or night.

The highlight: The apartment features an additional sleeping area on a loft—for a truly special sleeping experience.
