"Sehr schöner Ort. Ruhig, liebevoll gemacht und genau richtig zum Abschalten. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder."
Then and now
a place with history
Rooted for generations – the heart of tobel1853 has been here since 1853.
Our approach
the best of simplicity
A place where time slows down and everyday life stays outside. tobel1853 is not a concept – it is an attitude.
We believe in what is real. The unhurried. The pared-back. In clear thoughts, good conversations and encounters that stay with you. In moments that do not need to be loud to be special.
Whether you are staying with us, dropping in for a meal or rediscovering life in the countryside – we invite you to feel at ease and, for a moment, step away from the world's rhythm.

Made for savouring
at our table · the best of simplicity
Whether breakfast, a snack or a glass of wine in the afternoon – it is about meeting, talking and savouring together.
There is homemade cake, savoury small plates and selected specialities from the region. And as soon as the first warm rays of sun appear, you can linger in the garden. Sit in the sunshine. Enjoy the blue sky. Simple as that.
Our ingredients come, wherever possible, from the Allgäu. And what does not grow here, we choose with care – with an eye on quality and provenance.

Your Allgäu starts here
sounds like a getaway? it is
Simply step outside and feel the grass beneath your feet. Whether hiking, cycling, or reading and playing in the light-filled Stubn, our shared living room. Leave everyday life behind.
And if you are up for more, you are welcome to join in: groom the horses, help muck out the stable, go for a relaxed ride, visit a farm or book a workshop. Country life you can be part of.
With yoga, you can turn your gaze inward. In the grass, or in one of our beautiful rooms in the farmstead. Calm, focused, entirely with yourself.
Our offerings are personal and open to all – just ask us and we will find lovely experiences for you. No show. No standard programme. Just genuine encounters.
