Accommodation: A delux hotel in downtown Berlin
This small, family-run hotel is located in the heart of Berlin. The magnificent turn-of-the-century manor house sits in a quiet, cobbled street near the Kurfürstendamm, one of the most famous avenues in Berlin. The five-story, creamy-white building has tall windows, graceful wrought-iron balconies, and a mansard roof studded with gables. Many of the rooms are decorated in the Bauhaus style and overlook the garden, a peaceful oasis after a day spent in the teeming city. One of the hotel's two restaurants, the Quadriga, has been awarded a coveted Michelin star. The luxury accommodation was recently voted the best hotel in Germany by the financial journal "Capital".

Guided Tour with Thomas
There are not many people who know Germany's capital better than Thomas. The English-speaking pastor, tour guide and taxi driver will take you on a 2-hour tour of his Berlin, an amazing and dynamic city full of contradictions. The tour essentially follows the path of the former Berlin wall, revealing curious aspects of modern Berlin and the city's glorious and sometimes horrifying past. The tour is a must for everyone who wants to see more of Berlin than stylish boutiques and trendy restaurants.

Unless otherwise arranged, you will be picked up at your hotel at 10 a.m.

Accommodation: A medieval castle overlooking the Rhine
During the 12th century the Dukes of Schöneburg ruled the area from this castle on a hill above the town of Oberwesel and levied duties on Rhine commerce. The castle was burned down in 1689 and lay in ruins for over 200 years until it was bought and restored by an American named Mr. Rhinelander in the early 1900s.

Today the modern, luxury hotel is owned once again by the town of Oberwesel and has been managed by the Hüttl family since 1957. It offers 20 elegant, individually furnished rooms and two suites with four-poster beds and balconies facing the Rhine River. Guests can stroll through the surrounding forests, meadows and vineyards or just relax and enjoy the one-of-a-kind views.

Accommodation: A quaint 16th century inn
This romantic little inn dating from 1534 combines history, charm and an excellent location. Just two blocks from the central market square, the Kloster-Stüble is tucked away on a quiet side street behind an old church and has pretty views of the surrounding countryside from many of the rooms. Behind the hotel is the Castle Garden, a quiet park that offers a unique view of the town. The rooms are somewhat snug but comfortably furnished in the rustic style. A large apartment, set under the eaves, is perfect for families or longer stays. The cosy restaurant serves hearty, regional cuisine.

Accommodation: A remote mountain-top castle
On a lofty summit originally selected by King Ludwig the Mad for the site of another fairy-tale castle after completion of Neuschwanstein sits a hotel which is like no other. Newly arrived guests are first struck by the endless vistas of mountains, green valleys, lakes, and forests at their feet. Then comes the hotel itself, in which every room was individually and imaginatively decorated by the owners themselves, resulting in living quarters that are not mere guest rooms but distinct creations that exude luxury, taste and comfort. Next to the hotel the ruins of Ludwig's final project still stand, within whose tranquil walls the visitor may better sense the lingering spirit of the eccentric ruler than at tourist-plagued Neuschwanstein, clearly visible in the distance. Travellers who brave the narrow road leading up to the castle will be richly rewarded.
