Weingut / Gästehaus Gerlach

We were travelling from Hesse to Brussels and decided to stop over at the Moselle river, our favorite tourist route. The booking done, we were later informed the hosts had to close temporarily but the broker had found another place for us. I confirmed the recommended booking at the Winegut Gerlach. An excellent choice, it turned out! The house Gerlach overlooks the Moselle river at the first row of houses from the riverfront. This is a guesthouse with 8 rooms, it is an old building from the 1930's but fully renovated, our room felt brand-new. The room was large with a broad double bed, view to the river, and a spacious bathroom/toilet equipped with all one could wish for. There was a broad desk cum working place as well, naturally free wi-fi and a quality flat-screen TV. The bed was hard but good for the back, cover a bit short for my stature but othervise fine. One pillow only, my wife would have liked another to prop her up in bed. The road noise from outside is audible but fairly well isolated. The breakfast was nicely put out and included the regular German choices. The lady of the house is very friendly, she helped us with the heavy bags and we were soon in discussion about the Moselle wines. The Winehouse Gerlach produces fine rieslings which are for sale in different cartons and for reasonable prices. An excellent stay and very nice landlady, very good price-quality ratio too!
