Step back in time and experience an authentic piece of German family history in the heart of the beautiful Spessart region.

Located in the peaceful village of Altenbuch, the house combines vintage charm with modern conveniences, making it an ideal base for families, couples, groups of friends, cyclists, hikers, and anyone looking to explore the forests, castles, villages, and rivers of northern Bavaria.
The home comfortably sleeps up to 9 guests across three bedrooms and additional sleeping spaces:
• Bedroom 1: King bed and futon
• Bedroom 2: King bed
• Bedroom 3: Twin bed with two stacked mattresses and two complete sets of bedding. The second mattress can be placed on the floor to create an additional sleeping space, making this room flexible for families or larger groups.
• Living room: Two chaise lounges that can accommodate additional guests.
Guests have access to a fully equipped kitchen with everything needed for preparing meals, a spacious dining area for gathering together, and a comfortable living room for relaxing after a day of exploring the region.
The large bathroom includes:
• Bathtub with shower
• Bidet
• Hair dryer
• Fresh towels
• Washer
• Washer/dryer combination machine
The house retains many of its original features, including beautiful hardwood floors, vintage furnishings, and family photographs that tell the story of the people who built and cared for this home over the decades. Rather than a modern vacation rental designed solely for tourists, this is a genuine German family home with warmth, history, and personality.
Surrounded by nature, Altenbuch offers easy access to some of the region’s most beautiful attractions. Guests can enjoy hiking and cycling through the Spessart forests, exploring historic towns along the Main River, visiting castles and traditional villages, shopping at Wertheim Village, or simply enjoying the peaceful countryside.
The property is especially well suited for:
• Family gatherings
• Multi-generational travel
• Hiking and cycling holidays
• Day trips throughout Bavaria and neighboring regions
• Guests seeking a quiet retreat away from busy tourist centers
A detailed house manual is provided with local recommendations, operating instructions, and information about the home’s history to help you make the most of your stay.
Please note that this is a historic family home, not a newly renovated luxury property. While we have worked to provide modern comforts, some features reflect the home’s age and character. We believe these details are part of what makes staying here special and memorable.
Whether you’re gathering with loved ones, discovering the beauty of the Spessart, tracing family roots, or simply looking for a peaceful place to slow down and reconnect, we hope you’ll feel at home during your stay in Altenbuch.

About the host
Hosted by Rita Aulbach-Emira
My family and I are passionate about preserving this home and sharing a small piece of German family history with visitors from around the world. The house was built in the 1950s by my grandfather for my grandmother when they were newly married, and it has remained in our family ever since.
Today, we live abroad but continue to care for the property and the memories it holds. We love helping guests discover the beauty of the Spessart region, whether they’re visiting family, exploring Germany’s countryside, hiking the forests, or simply looking for a peaceful place to relax.
Our goal is to offer more than just a place to stay—we hope guests experience the warmth, history, and character of a true family home.

Why they chose this property
Altenbuch is one of those special places that feels untouched by time. Nestled between the forests of the Spessart and the Main River valley, it offers a peaceful escape from busy cities while still being within easy reach of many of Bavaria’s most beautiful destinations.
What we love most is the quiet. You can wake up to birdsong, walk through the village, hike directly into the surrounding forests, and enjoy spectacular scenery in every season. The area is perfect for hiking, cycling, photography, day trips to historic towns and castles, and experiencing authentic small-town German life.
Many guests are surprised by how much there is to see nearby while still enjoying the tranquility of a rural village.

What makes this property unique
Unlike many vacation rentals, this is not an investment property or a purpose-built tourist accommodation. It is a genuine family home that has been loved and lived in for generations.
Built in the 1950s by the home’s original owner for his new wife, the house retains many of its original features, including beautiful hardwood floors, vintage furnishings, family photographs, and details that reflect its history. Throughout the home, guests will find reminders of the people who built it and the generations who gathered here.
The spacious layout comfortably accommodates up to nine guests, making it ideal for families and groups. The flexible sleeping arrangements, large rooms, full kitchen, and traditional German character offer an experience that is increasingly rare to find.
Staying here is an opportunity to experience an authentic family home in the heart of the Spessart rather than a generic vacation rental. Many guests tell us that the sense of history, comfort, and connection is what makes their stay memorable.
