Holiday home in medieval wine town.

The Stone House is located in the beautiful town of Prichsenstadt in Germany. We offer Self-Catering accommodation ideal for family holidays in outstanding surroundings. The house has 3 bedrooms and sleeps up to 7 (max. 4 adults), infant facilities are available. The house offers all you will need for a comfortable holiday, a perfect place to relax, a base to explore the surrounding towns and countryside, or somewhere to hang up your riding or hiking gear at the end of a fabulous day! There is something for everyone. Of particular interest is the food, wine, history and culture of the area.

Prichsenstadt is in Franconia (or Franken in German), Northern Bavaria and is the 6th largest of the 13 wine producing areas of Germany and the only wine producing region in Bavaria. The area has a wonderful sunny, warm and dry climate suitable for vine growing, and is steeped in history and tradition. Tourism and agriculture, particularly viticulture, are the primary industries in the area.

There is plenty to do nearby and in the region, explore Franconia, the wine is a huge attraction to the area, there is a reason why the Germans keep the good stuff to themselves! Prichsenstadt is at the start of the “Romantische Straße” (Romantic Road), Germany's most popular holiday route, passing through many historic, beautiful medieval towns including Rothenburg, Dinkelsbühl, Nördlingen, ending in Füssen and the majestic Alps.

The Franconian 'Bocksbeutel Straße' is another tourist route through the area (Bocksbeutel is the bottle shape synonymous with Franconian wine). The Bocksbeutel Straße is a wine trail that runs through all the major wine producing villages and towns of which Prichsenstadt is one. Prichsenstadt is close to many beautiful ancient towns such as Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Bamberg, Nürnberg and Würzburg to name just a few. Bamberg Town and the Würzburg Residence are both UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Prichsenstadt itself is a uniquely preserved medieval town retaining over 70% of the town walls, watchtowers, moat and town gate, it really is like staying in your own medieval castle. The town, which in reality is smaller than some of the surrounding villages, has all you will need.

Surrounded by open vineyards and beautiful peaceful countryside Prichsenstadt offers a perfect getaway, and the chance for a genuine Bavarian experience. Even though rural and quiet the town is still very much a working and thriving community with six winemakers, all happy for you to sample their wares and five cosy traditional Franconian restaurants all serving a delectable range of seasonal Franconian Cuisine.

During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be close to Mauritiuskirche Wiesentheid. A water park is available. The holiday home includes amenities such as a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms.
  • The holiday home offers a kitchen, a washing machine and 1.5 bathrooms

Such a great place to stay!
We really enjoyed our stay. It was nice that the home was traditional with modern updates to the kitchen and bathroom. We were too busy to get to the restaurants in town, but the bakery was delicious and the town was beautiful to walk through. We appreciated the welcome bottle of wine, bread, and hanutas! The 6am clock tower bells caught us off guard, but after a couple days we were able to sleep through them. Overall we're so happy with our stay and would highly recommend to others!

Amazing location
Driving through the city gates to get there was magical. Walking the vineyards was so romantic and the central location to other amazing cities make this place a gem. We were able to see Bamberg, Bayreuth, Wurzburg, Rothenberg on day trips and made it home for dinner. Only concern was spotty WIFI but who needs internet when you live in a medieval village?

Wonderful and charming walled town with a welcoming community and warm home. We felt home .
Bells awoke us to two bakeries a few cafes. We walked everywhere. Through cobbled roads and stone paths to see vineyards, restaurants and ancient homes. Well groomed and maintained town.

LOVELY HOUSE IN BEAUTIFUL PRICHSENSTADT
We were visiting our daughter for Christmas who is studying in Würzburg. So glad we found this lovely house with such character. Communication from the owner was fantastic and made for a smooth arrival. We really appreciated the Christmas tree which was a lovely touch. The owners also supply bread, milk, rolls and butter for arrival which is fantastic as sometimes depending on your arrival time it’s not always suitable to go food shopping. Thanks also for the bottle of local wine. All in all a lovely welcome after travelling. We are very cold people and usually never find anywhere warm enough for us but thankfully the house was exceptionally warm which was very welcome due to it being December and very cold outside. Prichsenstadt is such a beautiful place and extremely magical at Christmas time. It’s one of the most picturesque places I’ve been.

An amazing holiday in beautiful Bavaria
Prichsenstadt is a beautiful village with easy access to the rest of Bavaria. There are several good places to eat & the local people are very friendly. The house is clean, comfortable & full of character. There are many places to visit within an hour's drive. We particularly enjoyed the boat trip from Volkach along the river Main, the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, the Tiergarten in Nuremberg and the treetop walk in the Steigerwald. We would love to return one day.

Urig trifft Modern
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in der urigen, einfachen Unterkunft mit einer sehr gut ausgestatteten, modernen Küche und einem modernen Bad. Es sind nur wenige Schritte in die Altstadt. Besonders gut hat uns die Sitzecke im kleinen Hof gefallen. Man ist dort wirklich unter sich . Ausgesprochen gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, wenn man sich die Unterkunft mit Freunden teilt. Allerdings läuten die Kirchenglocken 6Uhr morgens sehr laut.

Wunderbarer Aufenthalt
Wir sind vier Erwachsene mit drei Kindern gewesen. Hatten ausreichend viel Platz. Bei den kleinen Kindern musste man bezüglich der Treppe etwas aufpassen, da diese doch recht steil ist. Es war alles im Haus, was man für den täglichen Bedarf so braucht. Ein oder zwei Schränke mehr um die Kleidung zu verstauen wären gut. Ansonsten alle top, wir haben uns wohlgefühlt und die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber war super.

Wunderbares Haus im Bilderbuchstädtchen
Geräumig, charmant und gut ausgestattet, mitten im Bilderbuchstädtchen Prichsenstadt. Besonders schön: die weinumrankte Laube hinter dem Haus. Die auf der Website angegebenen Fahrräder muss man gegen Bezahlung beim freundlichen Nachbarn ausleihen, Preis ist aber sehr moderat.

Schönes gemütliches Haus
Tolles Haus , man hat alles, was man braucht, ist aber ein älteres Altstadthaus, was uns aber nicht gestört hat, ganz im Gegenteil, schöne Umgebung, allerdings weniger Weinberge, als das Inserat vermuten lässt.

Comfortable house in pittoresque town
Cosy town, very nice restaurants. Nice house, well-equipped kitchen, plenty of beds and nice living room. Perhaps not suitable for smaller children due to stairs. Nice to have outdoor facilities. Church bells very noisy at 6am.
