Schloss Zeilitzheim

Description

We, the von Halem family undertook the arduous task of restoring the castle near Volkach in the Bavarian wine-growing region of Franconia (Fränkisches Weinland) to its original state: the result is a small, family-run bed and breakfast in the village of Zeilitzheim. The 18 rooms are ideal for relaxing stays. There is no telephone or television to disturb your stay. There is free WIFI, however, in the lobby and the common room. You can enjoy the countryside and the castle garden. Additionally, the castle estate with its central courtyard and walls partly covered by climbing roses, gardens and festive halls are excellently suited for family festivities. 

In the village of Zeilitzheim, situated halfway between the small, picturesque towns of Volkach and Gerolzhofen on the edge of Bavaria's wine-growing region and near to the Steigerwald forest. Day trips possible to: Nuremberg, Rothenburg, Würzburg, Bamberg, Schweinfurt. Airport Frankfurt/Main or Nuremberg: 1 hour by car.

There are a number of meeting rooms in the castle. The castle garden is also nice for relaxing or meeting outdoors. The varying countryside is ideals for relaxing walks.

Conditions/extras

Rooms are equipped with shower and WC, hair dryers and water cookers for tea or instant coffee. Breakfast is included in the rate for rooms. There is no restaurant in the castle, however. We recommend visiting one of the German Gasthauses in Volkach or Gerolzhofen, 5-6 miles away and then relaxing to a glass of Franconian wine from the estates own winery at the castle. You can pre-order a cold meal (cold cuts, cheese, break) at 9,50 Euros per person.
