Characterful, romantic apartment close to the river Ruhr, old town and mountains
In a stylish mansion from the middle of the 19th Century invites you to our newly renovated romantic apartment on the ground floor with a very special atmosphere to stay. The living-room will inspire you: Free truss on the side and ceiling, free brickwork on the front page, an unusual ceiling height of 3.75 m, with one special room for special days. Even sleeping in the bunk bed is a different way than in everyday life.

The kitchen is fully equipped for all your needs as self-catering. For Bakery and Pizzeria, there are also a few steps. Modern bathroom with shower. From the house you can take wonderful walks or bicycle to explore the area (bicycle station).

Hello, my name is Peter Marx and I am pleased to welcome you in our apartment in Kettwig. We have for years already discovered the advantages of the holiday house holiday and also collected impressions, which is important, so that we feel comfortable in an apartment.
Why they chose this property
The apartment is located on the ground floor of our 19th century house - so we are always easy to reach you when you need something.
What makes this property unique
A house with history is always a personality. In the rooms we have renovated for you, long ago, for example, A quaint cigar shop. And there was also a doctor's office. We have liberated with love the oldest layers, the original wooden floor of 1864 e.g. and the truss and find it very cozy!
