Made a reservation as we were on an interrailtrip in southern Germany/ Switzerland. Konstanz is always nice and the city is beautifully located and this hotel located on the northern shore of lake Constance seemed just right . To make it short : Location is great , but thehouse is crying for some maintenance ranging from new paint outside ,... More

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

We stayed here for two nights at the end of May 2012 as part of a 2 week tour of Southern Germany. Our corner room was large and offered a view of of the lovely garden and the lake. The staff were very helpful and provided excellent service, especially at breakfast, making us eggs to order in addition to capacino... More

As the name suggests, this villa on the ocean is a beautiful, relaxing place to sleep. The helpful and friendly hotel staff leave at 9:00 every night, and return in the morning in time to make a lavish, warm breakfast, which is a fabulous send-off for the day. Many rooms had views of the water, and we encountered no problems... More

We spent one night at the Villa Barleben in late October 2010 after reading the positive comments made by previous visitors and the place is exactly as described: very unusual, quiet, with very nice staff, etc. The personnel was very patient with my rusty German and always attentive during our stay. When we arrived (2 pm) they apologised that our... More

Driving around beautiful Konstanz looking for accommodation led us to this gem. Fortunately a room was available. The hotel is housed in a gracious villa with a small number of rooms which suits our style. It is on the lake and surrounded by a wonderful garden. The decor of the spacious rooms is simple elegance. 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
