Playing nearby? Come and stay.
If a concert or an exhibition has brought you to Cologne, Düsseldorf, Leverkusen or Monheim, come and stay.
Solo artists, bands, and the people travelling with you are welcome. We like meeting musicians, singers and artists, and we like the house to be a restful place once the night’s work is done. You would be here as a guest. Tell us your dates and how many of you are coming, and we will write back with what we can offer — the room and the rate.
Charming old Villa.
Still full of Life.
The villa was built in 1666 and has been carefully restored. It stands in Leverkusen-Hitdorf, directly on the Rhine, between Cologne and Düsseldorf. The rooms are individual. A courtyard and garden sit at the heart of the house. The feeling of the place is in the building itself: old floors, tall windows, and the river a few steps from the door.
Art on the wall. A piano in the hall.
Fine art hangs throughout the house. In the hall there is a wooden piano from 1910. It belongs to the life of the house.
Flow Fine Art, the gallery connected to the house, shows art concerned with inner stillness.
The practice spaces can be used. Separate from the hall, there is one seminar room with a piano. Guitars and drums, a keyboard, and a speaker system with a mixing desk and microphones are available.

Guesthouse Team.
Start the morning at your own pace.
Join us for complimentary morning meditation and yoga, or enjoy a quiet start of your own. Participation is always optional. Ask us about the sessions during your stay.
Breakfast is served with a view of the Rhine. It is not included with every room rate — tell us if you would like it when you enquire.
Rooms for the nights between shows.
The rooms are individual. Some face the garden, some the river, and some are large enough for people travelling together. Enquire with your dates and the size of your group, and we will tell you what is free.
For a late arrival, parking, or an instrument, see Questions you might have.
By the Rhine. Within reach of the stage.
The house is in Leverkusen-Hitdorf, on the Rhine between Cologne and Düsseldorf. If you are playing or exhibiting in Leverkusen or Monheim, you are just as close. The map will show you the way when you want it.
