This is a 'hidden gem' where we come back to every year. Pure luxurious rooms: great beds, with these thick this goose down duvets in these sharply ironed white linen, pure pampering. Fresh fruit in the room. Great bathroom with bathrobes and slippers for the whole family. Nice pool and spa area. The food is fantastic with a great choice... More

We always stay at Hammerschmiede when travelling through the region. The food is simply wonderful, service faultless and property and grounds stunning. We are invariably accompanied by our Labrador, who is always welcome.

Driving towards this hotel one may have a few misgivings ,as the surrounding area is not particularly scenic, but as one approaches the hotel, the view of the beautiful old garden through the gate is very reassuring ... This lovely hotel was remodelled from an old villa , and is surrounded by a beautiful park like garden.. making it a... More

Stayed recently for business and had a nice experience. I don't usually stay in properties like this and am more accustomed to American style hotel chains. However, I believe what you get at Villa H is for someone who is looking for a true European experience at a unique property with exceptional service. Price-wise I thought it was quite reasonable...

We stayed for three nights at Villa Hammerschmeide with Ben, our 5 year old Black Labrador. This hotel is exceptional: very dog friendly, whilst maintaining a truly outstanding level of quality and service. The food was truly excellent in both the gastronomic and local restaurants, and the service couteous, friendly and impeccable; absolutely nothing was too much trouble - they... More

Paying 200 euro a person for the gourmet meal was what we expected and is in line with other restaurants of the category. However for the standard room price tag of 169 euro, without breakfast, in a location that couldn’t attract other guests than those planning to eat in the restaurant, we had expected something else. We found a decent... More

Perhaps we had been spoilt by the other relais and chateau properties we had visited on this trip. The food was fine but not outstanding, the kitchen somewhat inflexible. The room was fine but not great and the view disappointing I was surprised having been told we had to pay an additional 70 euros to have a second person in... More

Villa Hammerschmiede, a Relais & Chateaux property, is more of a suitable destination for those in need of relaxation in countryside and would truly enjoy a gourmet vacation. The property's location is within 30-60 minutes drive of towns such as Baden-Baden, Stuttgart, Heidelberg and Freiburg. Other than that, there is really not much to do or see in immediate surrounding.... More

As a jaded New Yorker, who has stayed in many of the best hotels around the world, I wasn't sure what to expect at this small Relais and Chateaux property located in the Baden-Baden area. But from beginning to end, I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. It's a small hotel - a gorgeous building set in a beautiful park... More
