Historic House with Rhine Views and large Garden

High above the Rhine, just below Burg Gutenfels, this special house sits on the hillside in Kaub. From here, you can take in sweeping views across the town’s rooftops, the Rhine and Burg Pfalzgrafenstein on the opposite bank. Its sheltered location right by the Rheinsteig trail offers you a peaceful retreat in the heart of the historic Rhine landscape.

The house comprises two separate holiday apartments, which together can accommodate up to ten guests. Both apartments have a fully equipped kitchen, a living and dining area, and cosy bedrooms. The ground-floor apartment has one bedroom and an additional sofa bed in the living area. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, including a spacious attic studio that’s especially well suited as a family room. There are two bathrooms and an additional guest toilet in total. This means you can travel together as a larger family or group while still having plenty of space to yourselves.

There are also several spots outside where you can enjoy the special setting. The ground-floor apartment has a natural stone terrace overlooking the historic estate park. The upstairs apartment has a shady terrace beneath a vine pergola and a secluded sunbathing lawn with sweeping views of the Rhine. A garden with medicinal herbs and fruit trees bearing figs, almonds and vineyard peaches completes the outdoor space.

The house combines historic character with individual, thoughtful interiors. The ground-floor apartment is in a former estate building, while the upstairs apartment is set in a former slate mine that was probably in use until 1869.

Kaub lies picturesquely on the Rhine and is shaped by its long history and winegrowing. From here, you can set off straight onto the Rheinsteig, wander through the historic lanes or visit the surrounding wine-growing villages. Burg Gutenfels and the toll castle of Pfalzgrafenstein also shape the region’s distinctive landscape.
