Went for a romantic weekend and it was delightful. We snagged a great deal which included breakfast and dinner (non-alcoholic drinks were also included). Gluten free options were made available and the restaurant staff was very helpful and kind about it. The entire staff was top notch at every level, spa area and rooms are modern and sleek. The outlets close by were also a fun way to spend a few hours. Go, relax and enjoy the excellent service and atmosphere.

Beautiful estate turned hotel/business center. Halfway between Cologne and Frankfurt. Great spot to experience the lovely German countryside. Went to the Christmas Market in Koblenz, about a 30 min drive. Loved the home town feel, the food and drink. My hotel room was small, think 13th century university dorm room, but they have larger rooms. OK for me since I am small people and you're only in your room to sleep. Everthing in the room & shower was clean and well ordered. Staff is friendly, helpful and speaks English. Breakfast buffet is delicious.

Sigmaringen Castle

Sigmaringen Castle was first mentioned in the year 1077 in the chronicles of Petershausen monastery. The oldest parts of the castle are concealed beneath the alterations made during the 17th and the 19th centuries. The secret of the earliest settlement built on this defendable rock will never be fully revealed: large-scale excavation work would be necessary, which the extensive land development renders impossible. Judging from the many Roman remains unearthed in the area around Sigmaringen, the 12th century keep known as the 'Roman Tower' could be traced back to a Roman predecessor.

The castle remains that have been preserved (gate, great hall and keep) date back to the Staufer period around 1200. The castle remains were integrated into subsequent buildings. The foundations of the castle buildings are to a large extent identical to the surrounding castle wall.

These remains give us a good idea of how the castle might have looked during the 12th century.
