Landhotel Restaurant zur Krone

Landhotel Restaurant zur Krone is an amazing family-run hotel in a perfectly well-connected town just 15 minutes from Freiburg. The hotel has the comfort and beauty matching a luxury hotel while still making you feel at home. We arrived a little late but the check-in experience was very smooth. The rooms are spacious, bright, and wonderfully decorated. There's plenty of storage space. The warmth and attentiveness of the owners is memorable - they are incredibly kind and go above to ensure that you have a nice holiday experience. The restaurant is a true highlight. They offered a welcome appetizer with shrimp and mousse. The flavors were unforgettable. The asparagus soup was the best we had during our entire trip. Every dish we tried reflected a level of quality, flavor, and presentation that far exceeded the price point. The breakfast was hearty, fresh and had a lot of options. Overall, Landhotel Restaurant zur Krone is a perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and gourmet experiences.

Very nice rooms, good food and acceptable prices.

An excellent little place, run by the 5th generation of the family owners. The rooms were charming, spotless and spacious. Very comfortable beds with white crisp linen. The current owner is a trained chef, who runs a Michelin-listed restaurant at the guesthouse. The rest of the family are also involved in the day to day running of this business, and are very welcoming, pleasant and friendly people. The breakfast and dinner meals were very good and served with a smile. We really enjoyed spending time amongst these people.||||The only discomfort we experienced was from the hot weather and the absence of air conditioning, fans, or a fridge for cold drinks. Even the open windows at night were insufficient to cool the room down. There were no tea or coffee making facilities. This is possibly characteristic of the continental guesthouses in general, I take it.||||We stayed six nights and would have liked to stay longer. We found the locals very friendly and polite, and genuinely welcoming, plus many people spoke good English. We would definitely consider returning to Freiburg and staying at Zur Krone, which is a 10 minute train ride away (trains are every half hour during the week, and every hour on Sundays). Another bonus is to be able to use the Konus card, which entitles the whole party to use public transport across the Black Forest region for the duration of the stay. This allowed us to explore the region at large, and spend the saved money on great meals. This was a memorable holiday for us.

We had the 3 course regional menu with accompanying wine. Delicious food well presented and a very polite, attentive and entertaining server. Not sure how he served all the tables alone and still made us laugh. If I had to find fault it would be that we were not shown the bottles of wine which was a pity as each wine matched perfectly with the dishes from the starter to dessert. We had to ask each time for details (which was then provided) so that we could purchase the wines(which we did!!) as they were all local from the Kaiserstuhl area. We had a lovely table on the terrace and had a fabulous evening!! Highly recommended. Only a pity we couldn’t stay there as there was a minimum stay of 4 nights where we needed only 2!

A well-maintained and well-organised countryside hotel with an unsuspectingly outstanding restaurant.

Thanks to the entire Insel family who provided a unforgettable stay at this hotel next to the wineyards of Kaiserstuhl and close to the first hillsides of the Black Forest. The rooms are perfectly equipped and clean. A special thanks to the extraordinary Jörg, the host manager at the restaurant who has been a great help in choosing our menus, all of high quality, and selecting amazing local wines.||A place not to miss for a visit to Freiburg or the Christmas market in Colmar.

Spotlessly clean and roomy accommodation run by a dedicated and delightful family. ||Really enjoyed our stay: superb German breakfast, evening meals beautifully prepared, though not a large menu. ||Only downside is that it is a working town and the farmers start very early in the day! (particularly during wine harvest in September) so the road is noisier than one mighe expect.||Gottenheim is a very small town with nothing of particular note but is in the middle of some superb wine producing country with good access to Feidburg ( free train pass for guests) and the French and German motorways. Sights we would recomment are Freiburg, Colmar, Vosges mountains and the fantastic 'Cite de L'Auto' car museum at Mulhouse (About 400 vintage cars including 50 - 100 Bugattis, quite remarkable)||Really enjoyed our stay

We drove past this 'Gasthaus' and admired the pretty garden setting and decided to give the restaurant a try after reading that it was being run by the fifth generation of the Isele family. Heiko Isele, who recently took over as chef from his father, says ''I don't cook for stars, but rather with a lot of love and care for my guests,'' and this was apparent in his food. He focuses very much on local and seasonal produce and prepares 'Baden' favourites with a new twist. Our 'amuse bouche' of tasty homemade tomato mousse was summery and refreshing. As a starter, my husband and I shared the warm goat cheese topped with pine nuts and honey, served on a bed of ratatouille with potato gnocchi. What a refreshing change from the usual salad. My choice of a simple rump steak was transformed by serving it with crushed sea salt and a delicious herb butter, whilst my husband's 'Taffelspitz' with lashings of creamy horseradish sauce and homemade noodles was light and tasty. No room for desert, but there was definitely a nice selection to think about. The wine selection from the area was good and not over-priced, and the recommendation of a crisp, dry, local Chardonnay fit perfectly on this summer evening to both our dishes. Good value for money, and the service from the family was efficient and friendly. We will be back!
