We were looking for a place to stay in Baden-Wurttemberg after a spa visit at Baden-Baden. I…read morebooked this B&B after seeing how highly it was rated on TripAdvisor. Also, the rates were very reasonable, and it included breakfast. The property does not have elevators, or AC. I don't remember seeing heat either, but then again, I went in the middle of summer and didn't look very hard for heat. The service at the hotel is wonderful. We got faulty directions from GPS unit, and got to the hotel after the stated last check-in time. I had tried to call to let them know that we were coming but alas, the cell phone reception was very poor. Nonetheless, the very friendly front desk lady stayed past her off duty time until we got there and checked us in before leaving. We definitely appreciated this level of service! The town of Lichtenau is a small quaint town. After we checked in, it was a little after 10pm. There were only two spots in town that were still open for food. The next morning, after our breakfast at Landgasthof zur Blume, we took a leisurely stroll around town. On the surface, there's not much to do or see at Lichtenau. In reality, we really enjoyed interacting with the local people during our walk around town. Everyone is so friendly, and the houses so beautifully kept. We love Lichtenau, and we love Landgasthof zur Blume. We hope to be back very soon.

Lovely place for an outdoor lunch. Fairly large lunch menu with typical Alsatian fare. Great…read moreservice too! The Tarte L'Oignon was served with a salad as was the Salmon Quiche. Both were really good. The Feret Noir Glacee au Kirsch was delicious and just boozy enough. Great first stop in France.

The food was very good. Fresh good quality ingredients…read more Especially the jambonneau was really delicious. Nice authentic Alsatian experience. Friendly staff. The cordon bleu was maybe not the best, that would be the only criticism. Highly recommended restaurant experience! Friendly and welcoming towards kids too.
