“The hotel's perch, sourced from the river and expertly braised, is a culinary highlight, perfectly complementing its setting in a building dating back to 1525. I think the location is ideal for exploring Stein am Rhein, especially the town square's painted facades, with the bonus of a restaurant terrace extending over the Rhine, where you can feed ducks and watch local youths diving from the bridge. It's a charming place that blends its history with modern comforts.”
