Built in 1683 by Thurn und Taxis, the Posthalterhof has been renovated with great attention to detail and offers an exceptional ambience within old walls. Antique furniture and modern furnishings in the bedrooms, the newly renovated bathrooms and fully equipped, open kitchens are stylishly combined. In addition, wifi, flat-screen TVs with Netflix & Prime and Alexa are available in the dining or living rooms.
In addition to the ground floor (monument), which can be rented for up to 8 people, the top floor (castle maisonette) offers space for up to 6 people. On the first floor is the Ahrquelle apartment, which is ideal for 2 people. The Georgstor apartment on the first floor is designed for up to 3 people. Dogs are welcome.
Guests on the ground floor have their own terrace with a large table and barbecue. Guests on the top floor have access to the garden on the first floor with a terrace and a large table with barbecue. Guests staying in the Ahrquelle apartment can also use the terrace in the garden. The wonderful view of Blankenheim Castle is included.
In December 2021 we opened our new sauna area for all guests of the Posthalterhof. In our large garden there is a 500-year-old vaulted cellar embedded in the rock. Here our guests can relax in the sauna and whirlpool in an extraordinary atmosphere - for up to 6 people. And in the sheltered outdoor area in the covered lounge corner, listen to music with a warming flame and enjoy the magnificent view of Blankenheim Castle.
2 private parking spaces are located directly next to the Posthalterhof for guests. There are 3 more private parking spaces above the garden area. Bicycles and motorbikes can also be safely parked.
Other important notes:
There are a few stairs within the ground floor. The flat Ahrquelle is on the first floor and can be reached via the stairs in the house or those from the courtyard. The Burg Maisonette flat is on the 2nd floor. Due to its character and construction, our house is not suitable for children under 3 years of age.
Directly opposite you can get fresh rolls and bread as well as cakes at the bakery. The butcher's shop Engel with Eifel quality is about 200m away and offers meat and sausages from farms of the Eifel in own production. Pharmacy, 2 banks, flower shop and book shop are also located in the village next to Patina Antiques. Supermarket, discounter and drugstore can be reached in 2 minutes by car. Excellent food is available in the local brasserie, which is 1 minute's walk from the Posthalterhof.
The Nürburgring is 30.5 km away. The City Outlet Centre and historic Bad Münstereifel is about 20 km away, as is the picturesque Burgdorf Kronenburg. Lake Kronenburg is also worth the 20-minute drive. Lake Freilingen, which is suitable for swimming, is only 15 minutes away by car. The Cologne trade fair is 75 km away, but the journey time is less than 1 hour due to the good transport connections.

The ground floor (monument) of the Posthalterhof was renovated in 2019. It was important to optimally combine the historical with the modern on 254 sqm. New bathrooms, box-spring beds in all 4 bedrooms, open kitchen with gas cooker, Wi-Fi in all rooms, flat-screen TVs with Netflix & Prime, Alexa in the dining and fireplace room, but also the special flair of the old walls was preserved.

Cook together on the gas cooker and enjoy food, wine and togetherness at the large dining table with good music.
Or after exploring the surroundings, chat, play games or watch TV in the historic fireplace room by the open fire.

Suitable for up to 8 people, the monument offers 4 bedrooms, of which the well room and the coachman's room have separate access. The cave room is adjacent to the mountain room and can only be reached through the mountain room.

On the private terrace there is a large table for 12 people as well as a barbecue.
