Bon appétit!

Corte Campioli (Marche, Italy)

At the Corte Campioli estate (© Dennis Weimann) in the Marche region, special emphasis is placed on conviviality and enjoyment. When guests in the seven rooms and apartments would like to get together, they do so either in the old country house, which contains the large communal room with kitchen and fireplace. Or, when the weather is fine, they meet for breakfast in the summer kitchen under the historical hay shelter, otherwise in the Bar Corte. They also meet there in the afternoon for a cappuccino or in the evening for a fine glass of wine with tasty bar snacks.

Château de Sibra (Occitania, France)

Regular dinners at the long “table d’hôte”– the Château de Sibra (© Stöh Grünig) at the foot of the Pyrenees conjures up aesthetic soirées for body and soul in a unique ambience.

Make yourself comfortable at chef Rachid Benchadi’s table and let yourself be captivated by his imaginative cooking skills. Share the long table d’hôte with other guests or spend a cosy evening for two or four in the Petit Salon or in the library. For unique and unforgettable evenings, you can also reserve a table in the centre of the action in the kitchen.

Afterwards, you can retire to one of the five castle rooms, in the Maison du Métayer holiday home (up to 14 guests) or in one of the three apartments. Bon appetit!

Gutshaus Zarchlin (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania)

On request and at the desired time, they put together a 3- or 4- course menu, choose the right drinks, prepare the tables and light the fire. All you have to do is get 8- to 10- people together and choose the right day.

Accommodation is either in the manor house itself (four apartments for 2-4 people) or in the guest house in the coach house (ten double rooms, two suites for 3-4 people).
