When the Neckar Valley is quiet.
Sunday to Thursday, in January and February too: sauna, stove and a whole house for you, without the weekend bustle.
A few days when nothing has to get done.
Midweek, the Neckar Valley is calm. You take a few days off, arrive on Sunday or Monday and leave everyday life outside. You have a whole house to yourselves, sauna and stove included.
It is especially lovely in winter: stove on, sauna hot, cold outside. Heidelberg is 20 minutes away by car, in case you want a day in town.
What to expect
Sauna
At Feni there is a barrel sauna in the garden, with an outdoor shower. At Burgi there is a Finnish sauna with a small rest room. Infusions are provided.
Warmth in the evening
In the evening you sit by the stove: at Feni the pellet stove, at Burgi the oil stove.
Time for breakfast
Fresh eggs, rolls and regional products are right in the village. Bathrobes, bed linen and towels are in the house.
Forest at the door
The forest starts right at the door. From Burgi it is a ten-minute walk up to Dilsberg Fortress.
Furnished with love
Colour in the right places, light floorboards, fabrics from Marrakech at Feni. Not a hotel corridor, but a home for a while.
Arrive earlier, leave later
Check-in is from 3 pm, check-out by 10 am. Arriving earlier or leaving later is possible on request.
Feni or Burgi?

You will find more ideas in the tips for the area.
To add on
On request there are small extras: a yoga class with Karin in Dilsberg, a knitting workshop with Vilde right at the holiday house, a flower workshop with Ella Fleur or painting ceramics at Kleine Keramik in Neckargemünd. For rainy days the Palmenparadies in Sinsheim is worth it, although our sauna is great too. Just write to me, and I am happy to pass on your request.
