The villa, which is over 100 years old, is rechristened the Sonnenhof in the midst of wonderful nature and the Lake Constance Hotel Sonnenhof is opened.
In addition to the hotel building, the extensive, park-like grounds also include the "Gästehaus am Sonnenhof", the "Dependance" and various buildings for the use of services, health and care.
In addition to the impressive hotel with a restaurant open to the public and a wellness area with an indoor pool, there are also condominiums and vacation apartments.
The refreshing mix of modern straightforwardness, functionality and old, historical charm characterizes the concept of the Sonnenhof.
