Senhalser Höfes, a small hotel in Germany

Along the Banks of the Moselle

This collection of homes is located in a spacious park by the Moselle River, in the sleepy, historical town of Senhals. It's owned by a couple who were inspired to breathe new life into the run-down buildings, using ideas garnered in their world travels.

We love the beautiful simplicity of the interiors – a great blend of modern and rustic, with bare wooden floorboards, a subtle, warm color palette, and elegant furnishings. While they retain many of their original features, they have been given a fresh, contemporary makeover.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

The Jacuzzi in the complex can be reserved (€10 per person per day, incl. pool towels and bath robes).

The surrounding park has two lawns, a barbecue area, orange trees, an olive grove, a vineyard, a little fountain and sand area, as well as lounge chairs, and direct access to the waterfront via a private bathing jetty. There are also facilities for meetings, family celebrations, and other events within the grounds.

AROUND

The municipality of Senheim lies on both banks of the river Moselle. The bigger of the two sides, also called Senheim, lies on the right bank, while the smaller Senhals lies on the left bank. They are linked by bridge. As far back as the Middle Ages, the locals made their living from agriculutre, predominantly by growing wine.

Sights to see in Senhals include St Mary Magdalene's Catholic Church (thought to date back to the 13th century) and some beautiful old timber-frame buildings. The larger Senheim boasts the impressive St Remigius's Catholic Church and number of historical buildings.

There are numerous great hiking trails, and a boat trip on the Moselle is recommended. Don't forget to visit at least one castle - as there are many (Burgen, Burg Eltz, Beilstein, Cochem, Thurant). And the region hosts several great wine festivals.
