S

Located directly on the idyllic banks of the Moselle, the four-star superior hotel Halfenstube & Villa Spa 1894, a family-run establishment since 1752, is ideally situated near many attractions such as Cochem. Rejuvenate with options like alkaline fasting and explore nature on a bike ride along the Moselle. Look forward to the most beautiful terrace on the Moselle, a relaxing atmosphere, modern rooms, and warm service. Start your day with a lavish breakfast and end it in the evening with a delicious menu and a wine from the region, unwinding in comfort.

The hotel is nestled between Koblenz and Trier, in Senheim-Senhals, a charming winemaking village on the Moselle River, renowned for its picturesque location amidst the vineyards. With its historic half-timbered houses and winding alleys, the village exudes a unique, quaint charm. Senheim is one of the oldest wine villages on the Moselle and has a long tradition of viticulture. Hikers and cyclists will find well-maintained paths around Senheim, leading to some of the most beautiful viewpoints in the region, including the Moselsteig and the Mosel Cycle Path.

Indulge in a lavish breakfast buffet (8:00 - 10:00 a.m.) at the Treidelpfad Restaurant featuring regional products such as Hunsrück eggs or countrywoman's liver sausage, as well as grape juice directly from Mosel winemakers. Also enjoy fresh fruit salad, tomato-mozzarella, various cheeses and sausages, homemade chocolate spread and much more! Feel free to assemble a packed lunch at the breakfast buffet for your day out. Just let the service staff know in advance (for a fee).

A light meal at lunchtime such as soups and salads is available from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m., and home-baked cakes until 4:00 p.m. Enjoy the unique view from the terrace - whether with a coffee at noon or a glass of wine.

The daily freshly prepared menu is available from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Vegetarian or completely vegan alternatives are served upon request. Additionally, there is a daily changing menu featuring regional ingredients like grapes and red vineyard peaches.

This method, developed by naturopath Sabine Wacker, is based on the principle of consuming only alkaline-forming foods. These primarily include fruits, vegetables, herbs, sprouts, seeds, and nuts. In contrast, acid-forming foods such as meat, fish, dairy products, grains, sugar, alcohol, and heavily processed foods are strictly avoided.

The goal is to free the body from excess acids that can arise from a stressful lifestyle, unhealthy diet, or other burdens. Over-acidification is often associated with various complaints such as fatigue, skin problems, digestive disorders, or joint pain. By consciously avoiding acid-forming foods and consuming alkaline foods, the acid-base balance is restored, allowing the body to regenerate.

The advantage of the Wacker Method is that it does not require abstaining from solid food during fasting, making this form of fasting suitable for everyday life.

The spa area impresses with its unique location in the wine cellar of Villa Spa, dating back to 1894, and is just a few metres across the street. The sauna area, featuring three saunas (Finnish sauna, bio-sauna, and steam bath), a relaxing lounge, and a range of massages and beauty treatments (at a charge), invites you to unwind. The relaxation experience continues outside at Villa Spa. The surrounding garden, with its lounging options, offers an additional oasis of calm. Slippers are available upon request at the reception.
