Guest information for Naturresort Gerbehof
We want your time with us on Lake Constance to be filled with carefree ease, deep peace and regeneration from the first minute to the last. To help you focus entirely on relaxation, we have brought together the most important guest information about our nature resort.
If you have any further questions, we are always happy to help personally.
In a world often shaped by stress, we need places that offer warmth, space and time to linger. To give this to our guests, we have chosen to make our nature resort exclusively available to adults outside the official Baden-Württemberg school holidays. We hope you can recharge far from everyday life, rediscover inner peace and return home feeling stronger.
Your retreat becomes binding when we issue our booking confirmation and receive your deposit. Please pay 25% of the total package price within 7 days of receiving confirmation. General enquiries to the hotel are, of course, non-binding.
Your hotel room, guesthouse room or holiday apartment is available from 3 pm on arrival day. On departure day, please vacate your accommodation by 10 am. Arrival after 8 pm is possible by prior arrangement. Simply let us know if you require different times.
Sunday afternoon is our time of rest, when our team also recharges. Reception is staffed only intermittently and the Nature Spa is closed that afternoon.
Overnight guests in Friedrichshafen pay a seasonally varying visitor’s tax. In return, we provide the Echt Bodensee Card for free public transport in the bodo network and other benefits. Exemptions include children up to 6 years, people with an 80% disability rating and their accompanying person, and business travellers, subject to proof. Payment is conveniently handled through us.
During the official Baden-Württemberg school holidays, we welcome families for mindful time together in nature. Cots, high chairs and changing mats are available. Please note that we are not a specialist children’s hotel and do not provide ongoing childcare. In our experience, nature and our small wooden woodland playground offer the best adventures anyway. For a relaxed evening together, we can arrange a qualified babysitter on request for a fee.
When a new price list is published, all previous lists cease to be valid. Changes and printing errors are reserved. Listed accommodation prices do not apply during selected trade fair periods.
Dogs are not allowed in our resort. Thank you for understanding that we cannot make exceptions for pets anywhere on the Gerbehof grounds.
All house guests are welcome to spend time in the spacious, inviting lobby of our organic country hotel. Alongside peace and quiet, it offers a guest computer and free Wi-Fi.
At Naturresort Gerbehof, we live and work in harmony with the seasons. Our active farming business follows the natural cycle throughout the year. Depending on when you visit, you can experience a variety of farm activities first-hand, from nature awakening in our organic apple and pear orchards to haymaking on the meadows and the abundant harvest season. Our deep connection to nature becomes a direct, authentic experience.
Our approach to slowing down works best when you take your time. Bookings for 1–3 nights can only be considered at short notice and incur a short-stay supplement.
Gerbehof is deeply rooted in nature. We have around 22 hectares of organic apple and pear orchards, plus lush meadows used for haymaking and horse paddocks. A neighbouring forest invites long walks and meditation in nature.
Our regular rates apply to stays of at least 4 nights. Weekends (Friday to Sunday) require a minimum of 2 nights, and public holidays followed by a bridging day (for example Thursday to Sunday) require 3 nights. During summer, the minimum stay in our holiday apartments is 7 days, otherwise 4 nights.
Guests can enjoy our soothing indoor spa. For an exclusive connection to nature, reserve our outdoor Private Spa with its log cabin sauna, rock shower, Kneipp stream and unique hanging loungers in the log cabin relaxation room, as well as treatments in advance. Use is subject to booking and availability.
Take the sustainable quality of our own farm and distillery home with you. Selected products made on the farm can be purchased at reception by advance order.
Horses are an authentic part of our farm and shape its peaceful atmosphere. Guests wishing to bring their own horse can enquire about guest stables, paddocks and use of the riding arena.
As an organic nature hotel, we value real, unadulterated enjoyment. Our 100% organic breakfast lays the foundation for an energetic day. Holiday apartment guests can add this delicious breakfast to their stay whenever they wish.
Smoking is prohibited by law in all dining rooms and indoor areas. This strict ban applies throughout the hotel, all rooms, the guesthouse, holiday apartments, wellness area and breakfast room. You are welcome to use our gardens for a cigarette.
For cancelled, unused nights, we charge as follows: up to 60 days before arrival, free of charge; 30–60 days, 20%; 15–30 days, 80%; 0–14 days, 90%; no-show or early departure, 100%. We recommend travel cancellation insurance for optimal protection.
Fluffy bathrobes for the Nature Spa or sauna can be hired at reception for a fee. Towel sets for our holiday apartments are also available on request.
To meet your individual needs, our resort has three harmonious areas: our comfortable four-star hotel, the cosy guesthouse and spacious holiday apartments offering maximum flexibility for your retreat.

Our holistic soul wellness concept based on Viktor Philippi’s method and our selected treatments offer more than relaxation. They help you recharge your vitality, find inner peace and actively support your own regeneration. Visitors are also warmly welcome in our health oasis on request.
Our philosophy is closely connected to the nature of Lake Constance. Alongside our treatments, activities such as meditation and guided health experiences outdoors can form part of your mindful retreat by prior arrangement or during special programme weeks.

During designated family periods, our special children’s prices apply with at least 2 full-paying adults, exclusively in the parents’ room. Rates are clearly divided by age: 0–2, 3–9, 10–14 and 15–18 years.
