Sail and the surroundings are very quiet. We saw almost no tourists. Strange, because the nature is beautiful and there are many attractive places. Bamberg is an absolute must! The cottage is beautiful and clean, the garden is great. We were with our son a year and there are a lot of fragile things in the house. The owners are incredibly friendly and think with everything. We had a really nice time and we would definitely recommend this house!

Upon arrival the hostess showed all very well classified information is in the apartment about what you can do in the area. Something for everyone biking, hiking, visiting castles, visiting wine brewers, thermal baths and so on. The apartment is fully equipped. Cozy furnishings and complete kitchen and eetuitrusting. Nice garden to sit in and eat. And nice hosts who keep a safe distance and at the same time ready to help you whenever you have a question. With an eye for our 10-year-old who came into his own as a football at Bayern Munich this house -) We have wonderful cycling trips made in the immediate area and a nice swim and relaxed in beautiful pool in Bamberg.

We really liked the apartment. Everything was there, what you need. The rooms were comfortably furnished, everything was available in the kitchen: fridge with freezer compartment, oven, dishwasher, 2 different coffee machines, toaster - everything your heart desires. In the sitting area there was a pleasantly large flat screen TV. The landlords were friendly and helpful, so they brought our luggage to the apartment as we are both disabled. Access to the apartment is not suitable for a wheelchair, but I managed well with the walker. I can recommend the apartment

4,5

4.5 4.5 4.5 4.5 4.5

Friendly host and hostess. A house with all the trimmings and a beautiful garden, in which we were allowed to sit. A lot of information about the area (which turned out to be very worthwhile) The weather was of course very cooperative

4.5 4.5 4.5 4.5 4.5

Good reception. We were earlier than the arrival but we can enter the house earlier. It is also a fantastic house with a beautiful garden. Family very friendly and very social.Beautiful maps were made with what to do in the area.En found 2 good restaurants with a nice garden where we could eat and drink outside. Furthermore, had great weather.

4,5

4.5 4.5 4.5 4.5 4.5

We were introduced briefly but in a good way. The ground floor (typical Bavarian with many frills) was fully equipped and had a direct access to the beautiful garden. This was gemutlich and equipped with all kinds of seating areas. The (friendly) owner couple was regularly in the garden, but that was not disturbing. In the wide area there are plenty of opportunities to entertain you many beautiful hiking trails, picturesque villages and towns. Bamberg, for example, is close by and is one of the top 3 best preserved medieval towns in Europe. For children, the accommodation seems less suitable for us. The house is at the end of a quiet street (Mittelsetzring). Shops and town center of Zeil am Main are within walking distance.

4,5

4.5 4.5 4.5 4.5 4.5

Excellent spacious and clean apartment, on the lower floor of a detached house. House is on the edge of town Zeil am Main in a residential area. The photo 's do not give that impression and it struck us something against. The floor is modern but decorated like an old house with lots of curlicues (rugs, figurines, brown fake beams and lots of dark brown furniture). Seat to be replaced and is not really comfortable. Modern large bathroom with bath and separate shower. Two nice bedrooms with comfortable beds. You can go either way Bamberg, Schweinfurt and Würtzburg are recommended. the region has the most breweries in Germany so beer lovers .... .. The house is known as a comfortable five star country house. I do not know if that's an accurate representation?

What a beautiful area - driving thru’ the lovely little towns and villages on minor roads was the best – rolling hills, autumnal colours, a real delight. The bigger towns/cities are well worth a visit – Bamberg, Wurzburg, Rothenberg, Nurnberg, usw. The area is at least as good as the Black Forest - shame that so few of us Brits have “discovered” Franconia. The flat is one of the best and the most reasonable we’ve stayed in – well equipped, very clean, home from home, (wie zu Hause) a real joy to have the cheery glow of the wood burning stove to come home to each evening. Our hosts, Margit and Manfred were most welcoming – thank you Manfred for getting the train tickets for our trip to Nurnberg. The copious info’ on towns, areas and activities in different languages was most useful in planning our next day forays – a lot of work obviously went into that. In short, one of our best holidays on the Continent due in no small part to our hosts, Margit and Manfred and their lovely holiday home.

The apartment was spacious, beautifully furnished and decorated, and well equipped. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The garden facilities were great, our own little patio area, a real suntrap and peaceful in evenings for a glass of wine, and a garden house where we spent a very pleasant evening with our hosts and their friends, exchanging stories in a mixture of English and German. The house is in a suburb and within walking distance of Zeil centre, a charming small town with some interesting historical / cultural sights. We recommend the Frishemarkt for shopping. Nearby is the wonderful Bamberg, great for culture, history and shopping, where we were lucky to chance upon the end of the festival period and a fun-packed evening of music, beer and dancing. We met lots of new people there, and made some new friends, both English and German. We loved the local vineyards and brought back some very tasty wine from our travels. Further afield, we visited the Neuschwanstein castle - a long drive, but worth it - and Wurzburg, a fascinating and beautiful city. Altogether an excellent holiday. Many thanks to our lovely, friendly and ever-helpful hosts, Margit and Manfred.

Although the weather which left us in the lurch, we had a wonderful holiday. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. The surroundings are beautiful walks. For culture lovers among us, there is also plenty to do. Bamberg and Köningsberg are places that are definitely worth a visit. And less than half an hour away by car. In the village there is ample opportunity to relax and go out to eat. But if you want you can also do the shopping and cooking yourself. The amenities are within walking distance. The house is fully equipped and if you miss something, you can always contact the owner. In short, an address to return.

A wonderful stay in a most charming cottage. Friendly woman. We came a little later through more traffic jams than we had imagined, and called us, was no problem. 19-year-old son had a nice room to himself and enjoyed himself with his laptop and phone thanks to the free wifi and walked a lot with the three of us in the area, where there was plenty to see.

The lower house is an excellent base for a week Germany. Complete kitchen with hob, oven, kettle, coffee. Washer and dryer for a fee in the general area. The apartment is filled with rugs, vases and personal curlicues. But are very well kept. The bed is good (even for us with back problems). Recommended are the towns Rothenburg, Bamberg, Nuremberg, Coburg, only 30-40 minutes driving time. The town Zeil am Main is small and extinct. We were there at the time of Weinfest, when very busy and cozy. The owners are welcoming you and they insist you last night drinking a beer with them. Flags go literally out in the shed. Hey are nice people and they do everything to make the guests to their liking!

It is a beautiful, cozy holiday home with lots of well-organized information about the area and many nice books with stories, poems, sayings or songs.

We were received very kindly by the host. He gave a tour of the apartment and provided extensive information about the area and all activities that are organized there. The apartment is equipped with all conveniences such as good beds, a more than complete kitchen and even the possibility to run a laundry. We enjoyed our vacation. The host and hostess are incredibly sweet and nothing is too much, this can only be seen from the documentation folders that they have arranged per location in the area, so that you can choose where you want to go.
