Yes, always. Guests here on holiday pay no utilities or cleaning charges.
Note: Guests staying fewer than 5 nights will be charged a standard short-term-guest fee.

Can I book an apartment for just one night or a weekend?
In principle, yes. However, we usually only accept reservations for 1-3 night stays 6 weeks or less before your planned stay. As well, don’t forget we charge a one-time short-term guest fee for stays less than 5 nights.

Are laundry facilities available?
A washing machine and dryer are available for guests to use during their stay. A small fee is required. Cleaning supplies and devices (i.e. a vacuum cleaner) are available free of charge.

Do you serve breakfast?

Yes, we do. Give us a short notice and we'll serve breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner in our estate café.

Where can I go shopping for food or other things I need?
There is a bakery located about 1 km away, in the adjacent village of Obereschach, which offers fresh bread, pastries and coffee as well as some groceries. From Bottenreute, you’ll find the bakery 100m after the Obereschach city-limits sign in a yellow house on the corner of an intersection on the right side of the street.
Two times per week (Mondays and Thursdays at around 9 a.m.) a merchant drives to the Hügle estate to offer fresh-baked goods from his ‘Fresh-mobile.’

In Oberhofen, which is roughly 2km from Bottenreute, you’ll find a mid-size grocery store, a post office and two banks.

If you need a larger selection of goods to choose from, Kaufland is a large grocery store that also offers a range of clothing and household items. It is located directly on the main road from Bottenreute/Obereschach into Ravensburg roughly 200m past the Ravensburg city-limits sign on the right-hand side.
