It is located in the beautiful Spessart Mountains where the Mespelbrunn Water Castle is located. It's frequently found in calendars.

The rooms are nicely appointed; there is a wellness center with swimming pool, a large breakfast room, and a great restaurant. It often caters to conventions. The breakfast consists of a large buffet which had a variety of breads, jams, cold cuts, cheeses, fish, and yogurts as well as different styles of eggs. It was even champagne along with other juices. We visited the restaurant one night and I was amazed that the waiter recognized Jack and me from our visit approximately one year ago. I even received a glass of port with my foie gras appetizer. The food is delicious and the service superb. The ambience is a typical rustic elegance.

For dessert I had fried apple cakes with vanilla ice-cream and an assortment of fruits, which was ok (I was not so keen on the oil used in the batter). The ambience is very pleasant and even though this place is a little way out it is well worth a visit. We spent around EUR26 per person, which I'd call good value.
