Ladies and gentlemen, We would like to take this opportunity to give you a brief history and some information about our hotel. In 1970, as young newlyweds, we took over the small family business. It was a restaurant called “Ratsstube” which had previously been excellently run by, Leni Thomas, our mother. After 10 successful years our dream of building and running our own hotel came true. On the 10th October 1980 with 12 bedrooms and the name “Gästehaus Jakob” we proudly opened for business. Over the years we have invested a lot of love and dedication to bring the hotel to its present standing. So now, with the support of our son Ingo Jakob, we are able to present you with a “matured to perfection” 3 star hotel which caters for your every need. As the last building nestling on the edge of the vineyards we can offer a dreamlike location. Which through its stunning views and tranquillity will certainly capture your heart.
