Property details

Discover the historic delights of picture-perfect Alsfeld from a boutique bolthole - includes breakfast and dinner


  • Blending old and new: Modern luxury meets old-world enchantment at newly-opened Hotel Villa Raab, a stylish boutique in the heart of historic Alsfeld. With its sleek restaurant, hip beer garden and design-savvy rooms, you can embrace your home comforts and then some, all amidst the town’s iconic medieval setting.

  • Mouthwatering menu: For traditional German eats with a health-conscious twist, restaurant Aunt Mathilde is a unique dining destination that’s sure to tempt you. Feast on expertly-crafted dishes like beetroot burger, gluten-free pancakes and smoked kassler, washed down with a stein or two of locally-brewed beer, naturally.

  • Contemporary design: Decorated in sumptuous grey tones offset with dark wooden furniture and sleek black accents, rooms and suites are expertly designed to ensure a restful night’s kip. Double rooms offer a cosy (and stylish) haven or opt for a suite for additional space and your own freestanding, claw-foot tub.

How to get there

The hotel is around 110 kilometres from Frankfurt Airport (to the south) and around the same from Kassel Calden Airport (to the north), taking just over an hour to drive. We recommend hiring a car to get from A to B with ease.

Altenburger Str. 60, 36304 Alsfeld, Germany

A place of fairy tales, festivals and fascinating architecture, the age-old town of Alsfeld, smack dab in the centre of Germany, has something to delight everyone who wanders its storied streets. Thought to have been founded as far back as the eighth century, a trip here will transport you back in time to a world of show-stopping Medieval architecture, atmospheric cobbled alleyways and more enchanting castles than Disneyland. 

Be sure to pay a visit to the quaint Fairytale House (the inspiration for Red Riding Hood’s abode), sample traditional Alsfelder Potato Sausages in the crop of charming cafes and drink in the picturesque natural surroundings as you stroll the criss-cross network of ancient streets. Come Christmas, the town comes to life in a flurry of twinkling lights and colourful festive decorations.
