This spacious, light-filled attic apartment is located on the 2nd floor of the Posthalterhof, a building over 300 years old, and can accommodate up to 6 people. The 155-square-meter apartment has been recently renovated and tastefully blends antique and modern elements. With two new bathrooms and ceiling heights of up to 6 metres, it offers a unique atmosphere. The open-concept kitchen adjoins the dining and living area, which features a large dining table, a couch, a wood-burning stove, and a flat-screen TV for relaxing together. The third bedroom (maisonette) is accessible via a staircase from the living room. All rooms have Wi-Fi. Alexa is also available.
Guests staying in the Burg Maisonette have access to the large outdoor terrace, which features a big table and a private grill. The terrace is located one floor below and borders the vast garden, which, situated on a hillside, offers a magnificent view of Blankenheim Castle.
For Christmas 2021, we opened our new sauna area for all guests at the Posthalterhof. In our large garden, there is a vaulted cellar—approximately 500 years old—built into the rock. Here, our guests can relax in an extraordinary atmosphere in the sauna—which accommodates up to 6 people—and in the hot tub. And in the secluded outdoor area, in the covered lounge corner with a fire pit, they can listen to music and enjoy the view of the castle.
Note: The apartment is located on the 2nd floor and is accessible only via 2 flights of stairs. Dogs are welcome here.
