Villa Anna B&B

Heike Frank was born to host, and when she discovered this striking-but-crumbling-villa from the 1930s, she knew she had to transform it into a B&B. After a complete renovation in 2017, it was opened, and Heike Frank’s hideaway is - deservedly so - thriving. No detail was overlooked. In the bedrooms, feature walls are a relaxing deep blue, and individual design pieces add pops of reds and pinks.

The piece de resistance, however, is the large wooden dining table in the kitchen, where you gather each morning. There’s nothing better on holiday than lingering over a delicious breakfast, especially one that is freshly cooked to order, using organic, locally-sourced ingredients. Once you’re unable to eat any more, take a stroll into the historic centre of Speyer, marvelling at its architecture, before sipping Riesling alongside the Rhein. Bliss.
