Idyllhotel Appenzellerhof

We stayed here for two nights on a short trip to the Lake Constance / Appenzell area with the hotelcard we have (which gave us a 30% discount). Contact with the owner beforehand (I had some questions as it is of course Covid time!) was very good - she got back to me immediately. Only hotel guests could eat in the restaurant, which was therefore not at all crowded. Dinner on Saturday night and our breakfasts were excellent. Fresh, local ingredients and such friendly service. On the second night they didn’t serve dinner, but we got take out pizza from the restaurant next door, which we ate in one of the beautiful sitting rooms. The owners had prepared plates, silverware and a bottle of wine for us! They found not have been nicer and more accommodating! Our room was also perfect: comfortable beds and lovely bedding. I’m a very light sleeper but even though we were on the road side of the hotel, the insolation was such that there was no bothersome noise. Speicher is a small village and really well located for great walks! We walked from the hotel, through gorgeous countryside, up to Hohe Buche and then over to the town of Appenzell. Fabulous walk that took us 5-6 hours because of the many photo, coffee and picnic stops. Then took the little local train right back to the hotel!
