Escape to Germany: Stunning Reimboldshausen Balcony Home Near Kirchheim!
Escape to Germany: Reimboldshausen Balcony Home - More Than Just a Pretty View! (A Rambling, Honest Review)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I'm back from the Reimboldshausen Balcony Home near Kirchheim and I've got opinions. And let me tell you, this place… it’s a vibe. Honestly, trying to organize this review is like trying to herd cats, but hey, that's life, right? So, here we go, a messy, honest, and hopefully helpful rundown of my experience.
First Impressions & The "Wow" Factor
Okay, so the pictures are stunning, and the real thing? Well, it’s pretty damn close. The balcony view? Forget about it. Seriously. It's the reason you book this place. You're nestled in the middle of rolling hills, like a fairytale. I spent a good hour just staring, sipping my (complimentary!) bottle of water, and trying to convince myself I wasn’t dreaming. Pure bliss.
Accessibility - A Mixed Bag…
Now, I didn’t specifically need wheelchair accessibility, but I did try to keep an eye out. Overall, it's not perfect for everyone, in a true modern style. You'll want to check specifics, especially with the steep inclines around the area, but the elevators are modern and smooth. I saw facilities for disabled guests, but it's always best to call ahead.
Cleanliness and Safety - Feeling Safe & Sound
This is where the hotel shines. They are taking hygiene seriously. You know that feeling of general safety that you desperately need, especially when you've been pent up? Well, that's exactly what you get. They are using anti-viral cleaning products, sterilizing equipment, and rooms are sanitized between stays. Daily disinfection in common areas? You betcha. And hand sanitizer stations everywhere. It really helped me relax, knowing they were on top of it.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Food, Glorious Food (and Some Minor Gripes)
Okay, so, the breakfast. Let's talk about that. The buffet was an absolute feast. A true German breakfast experience, with all the usual suspects – cheeses, cold meats, fresh bread, cereal, that sort of thing, with a few Asian-inspired options. (No complaints there!) I loved it. The breakfast takeaway service was perfect for some lazy mornings. The pool bar? Great cocktails that were perfect for the view. They also have an a la carte restaurant and other options. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.
A minor blip though… the coffee in the restaurant sometimes tasted like it had been sitting around for a while. A tiny nitpick, but hey, I’m an espresso snob, so sue me!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax - Pamper Time (or Not?!)
Oh, the spa! I am a sucker for a good steam room and sauna, and the Reimboldshausen offered both in spades. I didn't indulge in the body scrub or wrap, but just the sauna and pool with a view? Heaven. They also had a fitness center… which I, admittedly, used for staring and then promptly went back to the spa. (Priorities, people!)
My Room - Home Away From Home (and a Few Hidden Gems!)
Okay, so let's talk room specifics. The balcony was, again, a highlight. Seriously, the view. My room had a great view, soundproofing, and a comfortable bed. The mini-bar was stocked (a great addition!), and the complimentary tea and coffee makers were lifesavers.
Another unexpected bonus? In-room internet access – LAN and wireless. I was able to get work done, which, let's be honest, is the real reason you're “escaping” in the first place!
Services & Conveniences - The Little Things That Make a Difference
- The Staff: Really friendly and helpful. A genuine, warm hospitality that made a real difference.
- Daily Housekeeping: Immaculate. My room was always spotless.
- On-site Events: They had a projector/LED display that they used for some events.

Escape to Paradise: Your Private Crete Villa Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. This is a descent into the glorious, slightly chaotic, and hopefully hilarious, reality of my holiday in a holiday home in Reimboldshausen, Germany, with a balcony (key detail). Buckle up, because this is gonna get messy.
Operation: Reimboldshausen Rhapsody – A Trainwreck of Joy (and Maybe Some Mild Panic)
Day 1: Arrival & "Is This Really It?" Moment
- Morning (ish): Frankfurt Airport – Ugh, airports. The smell of stale coffee, the frantic shuffling of people, the sheer expectation of… well, something. Landed in barely the right country, thanks to Jetlag and maybe my phone's auto-correction, and, after a minor language barrier scuffle with the taxi driver (turns out "Hallo" isn't a universally understood phrase when asking about the luggage), off we went.
- Afternoon: Train to Kirchheim, which felt like an eternity. The scenery: lush green hills, charming villages, and a general sense of "Am I really doing this?" The train was fine, I guess. Sat next to someone who was either incredibly engrossed in their book or deeply judging my travel snacks (a rogue packet of crisps, leftover from the airport, and a slightly squashed apple).
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Reached Reimboldshausen (pronounced… well, I’m still not sure, but I’m going with “Rim-bowlshouse-en”), found the holiday home. And… breathe. It's… fine. The balcony is certainly there, overlooking… well, more green hills. (I'm sensing a theme here.) My immediate thought? "This isn't a castle. Is this it? Did I book the wrong place? Are we safe?" There was a faint musty smell, which I'm generously attributing to "German charm". Immediately, I open the balcony doors. Fresh air. Peace. And then, a dog barks. And then another. Oh dear.
- Evening: Groceries purchased: a bag of potatoes, a loaf of bread, and a selection of cheeses (priorities!). Attempted to cook something (it was a potato-based disaster. Let's just say I'm not a fantastic cook. My cheese consumption, however, was on point.). Watched the sunset on the balcony, and for a split second, I thought, "Okay, maybe this isn't so bad after all." Then the neighbor started singing opera.
Day 2: Hiking and Humiliation (and Apple Strudel!)
- Morning: Fueled by instant coffee (a necessary evil), decided to be "outdoorsy." Found a hiking trail. Lost the trail. Got very lost. The scenery? Spectacular. My navigation skills? Non-existent. Almost stepped on a hedgehog (awww!).
- Afternoon: Found a village bakery – hallelujah! Ate the best apple strudel of my life. Seriously. Flaky pastry, gooey apples, a dusting of cinnamon. I'm pretty sure I teared up a little. It was that good. Sat outside, watching life go by. There was an old man, selling flowers. I tried to negotiate for a bouquet, but he just laughed. My German is even worse than my cooking.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Back at the house. Trying the local beer (it's… potent). Contemplating whether or not to admit to myself that I'm not really a "hiker." The balcony is calling, again. Watching the sunset (again). Another round of opera.
Day 3: Castle Quest and Cultural Confusion
- Morning: Decided to be cultured. Attempted to visit a castle. Drove. Got lost. Again. Had to ask for directions from a very serious-looking man, who spoke almost no English and used his hands in an elaborate, confusing gesture-fest. I think I understood.
- Afternoon: Found the castle! (Eventually). It was impressive, gothic, and undeniably picturesque. Wandered around, feeling a bit underdressed. Pretended to understand the history, while secretly wishing I had more information on the important things (Did the king have a decent cheese selection? Where are the best views from the castle?). Took a million photos, and felt guilty about it.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Back in the house (surprise!). The neighbor is now practicing his trombone. It's… an experience. I need a drink. The balcony, with the sunset is beckoning, despite the looming trombone solo. This time, I went with a local wine. It wasn't the best, but I wasn't complaining.
Day 4: The Joy of Doing Nothing & Unexpected Charm
- Morning: Slept in. Bliss. Drank coffee on the balcony. Watched clouds drift. Read a book (finally!). Didn't have to do anything. This is what I needed.
- Afternoon: Wandered through the local village. Found someone, seemingly fluent in English, and they recommended the local pub.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: The pub! Proper, local, slightly smoky, and genuinely welcoming. The beer was excellent, and the locals were happy to include me on the chat. There was a lot of laughter, a lot of beer, and, despite my non-existent German, I felt like I finally belonged. It was perfect.
- Evening: Back on the balcony, but this time, the opera and the trombone were bearable. I watched the sunset. It was beautiful. I had a beer in hand, and a smile on my face. Maybe, just maybe, this was the perfect holiday.
Day 5: Departure & "I'll Be Back!"
- Morning: The dreaded packing. Another glance at the "German charm" I was leaving. Goodbye, Reimboldshausen! Goodbye balcony, and hello, reality.
- Afternoon: Travel to airport. The whole time I was remembering the apple strudel.
- Evening: Home. The routine. The familiar. But with a strange new tinge of nostalgia. I already miss the (sometimes) annoying sounds of the neighbour's instruments, the beautiful hiking views and the cheese. I actually, genuinely miss the chaos.
- Final Thought: Would I go back? Absolutely. Next time, I'm booking the opera and trombone as well, and I'll bring a better map!
So, there you have it. A slightly messy, undeniably human, and hopefully entertaining account of my Reimboldshausen adventure. And remember, it’s the imperfections that make a holiday, a home and a life, worth it. Now, excuse me, I'm off to eat more cheese.
Escape to Paradise: Stunning Farmhouse in Sint Joost Heerlen, Netherlands!
Okay, seriously, what *is* this place even *like*? Is it all just Instagram glamour or what?
Alright, listen. I've been drooling over the photos of this "Escape to Germany" place, specifically the Reimboldshausen balcony home near Kirchheim. And yeah, the balcony looks *stunning*. I'm envisioning myself, a giant mug of coffee, the crisp German air… pure bliss, right? But, here’s the deal: websites ALWAYS lie. Okay, maybe not *lie*, but they selectively curate reality. So, I’m mentally preparing for something… different. Like, maybe the photos strategically omit the slightly wonky kitchen counter, or that the "breathtaking view" includes the neighbor's prize-winning gnome collection. (No shade to gnomes, but you know, context is everything.) I'm going in with lowered expectations and a healthy dose of cynicism. Which, let's be honest, is my natural state.
The balcony – the *balcony*! What about it? Spill the details!
The balcony. The *raison d'être*. Oh, man. The listing promises "panoramic views." Now, "panoramic" can mean anything from "you *kinda* see a field" to "the entire bloody world." My hope? That it's the latter. My *fear*? That I'll be staring at a washing line full of someone else's socks. Honestly, though, even a partial view would be worth it. I'm picturing myself, wrapped in a blanket, sipping a local German beer (or three), watching the sunset paint the sky. Okay, okay. I need to stop. I'm getting carried away. But that balcony…
Is it...romantic? Asking for a friend (it's me.)
Romance? Hmm. It *could* be. IF, and this is a big if, your idea of romance aligns with, say, windswept hair and the dramatic beauty of the German countryside. Think less candlelit dinners and more "sharing a stale pretzel while contemplating the vastness of existence." (I'm kidding! Mostly.) I'm a solo traveler, so "romantic" is less about finding someone to share the experience with and more about having a quiet, restorative experience. But, if you ARE planning a romantic trip, be prepared for potential awkwardness. Maybe the neighbor’s gnome collection DOES intrude into your lovey-dovey gaze.
Kirchheim – what's there, what's it like? Will I be bored?
Kirchheim… that's the big question, isn't it? Look, I'm not expecting a bustling metropolis. But I *am* hoping for some charming small-town vibes. Think cobblestone streets, maybe a bakery with unbelievably good pastries, and definitely a ridiculously cute local pub. The website promises "nearby attractions." I hope those attractions aren't JUST the local Aldi (though, let's be honest, I love Aldi). I'm bracing myself for a bit of "rustic" charm – which can be code for "slightly dilapidated." But honestly, I'm fine with a bit of dilapidated. Gives the place character! The main goal: to not be so bored I spend my entire trip obsessing over my phone.
Let's talk travel logistics. How do I even *get* there? And I'm not fluent in German. Am I doomed?
Okay, logistics. This is where things get REAL. How do I even *get* to the middle of nowhere Germany? Flights. Trains. Rental car. The sheer volume of travel decisions makes me want to bury myself under a duvet and never emerge. I'm a terrible planner. Seriously, I once booked a flight to the wrong continent. (Don't ask.) So, I need to get my act together. As for the German thing...yeah, I can barely order a coffee. I'm hoping for a decent translation app and the inherent kindness of the German people. (From what I've heard, they're generally pretty helpful, even if you mangle their language.) Wish me luck. I'll need it.
Food - what's the food situation? Is there a kitchen? Do I have to cook?! (please no)
Oh, the kitchen situation. *That's* a big deal. The website probably says "fully equipped," which could mean anything from a microwave and a rusty toaster to a high-end chef's paradise. I'm hoping, praying, for at least a decent coffee maker. I NEED coffee. The potential for cooking is… a mixed bag. On the one hand, eating out constantly will destroy my budget. On the other hand, I am, by all accounts, a terrible cook. My signature dish is burnt toast. So, I'm envisioning a lot of picnics with local bread and cheese. (That sounds delightful, actually.) Or maybe I'll just live on pastries. That could work.
Okay, fine, let's say I book it. What's the *one* thing I'm most excited about? And what's the *one* thing I'm dreading?
The ONE thing I'm MOST excited about? The peace and quiet. Seriously. My life is a constant barrage of noise, notifications, and overstimulation. To escape to the countryside seems absolutely blissful. To sit on that balcony, to unplug (as much as I can), and just… be. That's the dream.
The ONE thing I'm dreading? Probably the language barrier. And maybe the potential for getting lost. And the possibility of a power outage. Oh, AND the potential for a rogue spider. No, scratch that. The ONE thing I'm dreading is the potential for disappointment. Of arriving and finding it's not quite as perfect as the pictures. But, hey, even if it's not perfect, it’s still Germany. And as long as I drink enough beer, I'll be happy. (Probably.)
Packing - What should I bring to make this experience better?
Packing. Ugh. The bane of my existence. But this is key. First and foremost: COMFY SHOES! You're walking, guaranteed. Secondly: a good book. Or three. I'm envisioning myself getting completely lost in a novel, curled up on that aforementioned balcony. Then, a travel adapter, a portable charger (because my phone battery drains at an astonishing rate when I'm abroad), a decent camera (for, you know, the 'gram), and a small first-aid kit (because I'm clumsy and always stubbing my toes). Oh! And a really good pen and a notebook. Because sometimes, inspiration strikes. And finally, a very healthy dose of optimism. And maybe a bottle of wine...or two.
