Enjoy
Let yourself be pampered in every respect during your stay in the water villas
In our Floating Village, we offer various additional services. Enjoy our breakfast service, for example, where you will receive your breakfast delivered directly to your floating house. We also bring you snacks and drinks. Treat yourself to a glass of wine inside in your villa or on the sundeck. Enjoy the changing colours of the sunset on your terrace and treat yourself to a sundowner for a relaxed end to the day.
Enjoy the Franconian way
In addition, you will love the culinary diversity of Franconia and the friendliness of its people. From hearty snacks to star cuisine: the region offers gastronomy for every taste, even for discerning palates. The beer country of Franconia boasts a wide range of different beer varieties, with home-brewed specialities. The Ellingen Residence, with a brewery, restaurant and beer garden, is nearby. However, those who prefer to enjoy their dinner “at home” on their very own terrace can organise a romantic evening at the water villa.

Breakfast on the lake
We ask that you please bear in mind the following points when ordering breakfast:
- Breakfast boxes must be ordered by 4:00 p.m. the day before delivery.
- Rolls are usually fetched fresh in the morning (except on public holidays, when the bakeries are closed), put together with the products for the breakfast box, and brought to your water villa.
- You should receive your delivery between 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.
- Breakfast will be delivered to you in a sturdy, flamed wooden box in a “vintage style”, with rope handles and leather fittings. We will pick these up again during the course of the day.
- For hygiene, weather-related and logistical reasons, we try to only provide you with packaged food. However, if you receive unpackaged fruit or vegetables, we ask you to please wash them before consumption.
Since we have organised a waste separation system for the Floating Village on the water, we ask you to please dispose of the waste in the containers provided in the floating home or on the jetty!

Your Eco Lodges team
Fürst Carl
The story of FÜRST CARL (Prince Carl) began on 24th May 1815. Field Marshal Carl Philipp, Prince von Wrede (1767 Heidelberg – 1838 Ellingen), received the palace of Ellingen, a palace of the Teutonic Order, from King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria as a royal and male fief from the crown. Out of respect and admiration for the brave, passionate field marshal, every firstborn male of the princely von Wrede family has since been given Carl as a first name.
Today, the company Fürst von Wrede GmbH & Co. Unternehmens KG is in the hands of the sixth and seventh generation: his Serene Highness Carl Friedrich, Prince von Wrede, His Princely Grace Carl Christian, Prince von Wrede, and Her Princely Grace Katalin, Princess von Wrede.
The diverse array of divisions of the company are united under the umbrella brand FÜRST CARL. FÜRST CARL represents the region, tradition and innovation, quality and sustainability. We are pleased to present you with a selection of drinks from our collaborative partner FÜRST CARL.

Sustainable wine on the lake
Eco lodges and sustainability…
As part of our Eco Lodges sustainability offensive, we would like to offer you selected sustainable and regional wines.
We have consciously chosen winemakers who live according to this principle – just like us. Our sommelier, with whom we have put together a selection of wines, made us aware of the “Fair’n Green” label, with which some of the wines in our selection have been certified.
What is Fair’n Green?
FAIR’N GREEN is a new seal that stands for sustainability in viticulture. It includes the areas of operational management, environmental protection and commitment to society. The wineries are subject to the guidelines of FAIR and GREEN e.V. and must meet high minimum requirements in all areas.
FAIR’N GREEN means:
Environmental protection and viticulture that is in close touch with nature
Promotion of biodiversity
Protection of natural resources
Fair wages and social engagement
A responsibility towards society
Preservation and promotion of the cultural landscape
Further information can be found on its homepage: www.fairandgreen.de
In addition to this label, we also introduce you to young regional winemakers, such as, e.g., Christine Pröstler: www.cproestlerweine.de/
Bacchus 2018 (sustainable) – EUR 21.00
Semi-dry quality wine
Weingut Christine Pröstler, Franconia
Typical aromas of elderflower and a touch of exotic fruits in the nose. Wonderfully light and wholesome on the palate thanks to the subtle residual sweetness. A very refreshing wine for mild summer evenings.
Christine Pröstler is a young winemaker at the beginning of her career who has already been frequently featured on Bavarian television as the “next generation” of Franconian winemakers. It is important to us to also support young winemakers by purchasing and selling their wines. Christine relies on sustainable viticulture and knows how to treat nature. Because quality can only arise in the vineyard!
“Happy” pinot blanc (sustainable) – EUR 24.50
Certificate: FAIR´N GREEN
Dry quality wine
Weingut Emil Bauer & Söhne, Palatinate
“You can’t buy happiness. But you can drink my pinot blanc.”
Pinot blanc that makes you happy. A typical nose of fully ripe pomaceous fruit paired with a fine note of vanilla, indicative of the use of some wood. A full-bodied presence on the palate – guarantees true drinking pleasure. Fresh, powerful and yet not overloaded, this Palatinate number comes across as a premium representative of Palatinate wines.
Weingut Emil Bauer & Söhne – this name combines tradition and innovation. The family business is based in Landau-Nußdorf, around 16 kilometres south of Neustadt an der Weinstraße. It is now headed by the fifth generation of Bauers, a skilled duo made up of brothers Alexander and Martin Bauer, who are causing a sensation with excellent wines and unusual labels.
“We want to take responsibility – not only towards nature, but also towards people and society. For us, FAIR’N GREEN is all-encompassing and focuses on sustainable cooperation between people and nature.” Martin Bauer – Weingut

Crudo Catarratto Zibibbo (sustainable) – EUR 18.50
Certificate: ORGANIC
Awarded the International Organic Wine Award in 2019!
Semi-dry quality wine
IGT Terre Siciliane
Mare Magnum, Sicily, Italy
On the nose, fresh spring elderflower plays with tropical fruit. Ripe pineapple and a slightly spicy note are particularly evident. On the palate, it is then wonderfully light of foot and refreshing from the first sip. A little bit of residual sweetness gives the wine a last kick that goes down beautifully. The zibibbo grape variety is identical to the muscat of Alexandria grape variety. It is therefore similar to our German Muskateller. An excellent organic wine that is wonderful to drink at any time of the year, either solo or with food, and which has always continued to delight us since the very first sip.
Mare Magnum is a winery that is represented by first-class wines in 8 countries. It is also founded on an advantageous logistics concept in order to keep the transport of the wines as efficient as possible.
“Answer” merlot (sustainable) – EUR 22.00
Certificate: FAIR’N GREEN
Dry quality wine
Weingut Emil Bauer & Söhne, Palatinate
“My Merlot is not the answer. It just makes you forget the question.”
Thanks to innovative marketing in the form of provocative labels, the vineyard Weingut Emil Bauer & Söhne from Nußdorf in the Palatinate region has become known throughout Germany.
With its “The Answer” merlot, Weingut Emil Bauer & Söhne delivers a fantastic Palatinate red wine – full-bodied, berry-like and fruity and with very soft tannins. Aromas of blackberries, cherries and currants and the round finish are what set this wine apart.

“Philosophy” cabernet sauvignon (sustainable) – EUR 24.50
Certificate: FAIR’N GREEN
Dry quality wine
Weingut Emil Bauer & Söhne, Palatinate
“One bottle of my cabernet sauvignon beats 23 semesters of philosophy!”
This is the motto of this cabernet sauvignon, which impresses across the board in terms of taste as well! The typical cabernet sauvignon aromas of blackcurrant and ripe cherries can be found here, as well as an exciting note of pepper and delicate wood aromas. A multi-layered wine that only properly develops and showcases itself to the full after a few minutes in the glass.
“We want to take responsibility – not only towards nature, but also towards people and society. For us, FAIR’N GREEN is all-encompassing and focuses on sustainable cooperation between people and nature.”

Il Bacca Primitivo di manduria doc – EUR 36.00
Apuliena– Italy – Luccarelli
Dry quality wine
The grapes for this opulent red wine come from selected vineyards located in the heart of the Primitivo di Manduria region. With the support of the internationally recognised oenologist Filippo Baccalaro, the family company Luccarelli has created a modern, lush and powerful primitivo that does not come across as crude, however, and which boasts very complex aromas.
The Il Bacca (formerly Folle from the colloquial word for “crazy”) from Manduria is vinified from 60- to 90-year-old vines, and the grapes are only harvested when they are already slightly rosinated. After fermentation, the wine is stored in French barriques for around 12 months. This gives the primitivo its incredible fullness and concentration. An intense ruby red in colour with a complex and fruity bouquet of cherry and plum jam, aromatic spices and the scent of chocolate. On the palate, the Folle primitivo is mellow and full-bodied with delicate berry and vanilla notes as well as roasted notes of coffee and cocoa.
Prosecco Frizzante – 16,00 EUR
Cantine Maschio – Italy
Dry
Straw yellow with golden reflections.
Fruity and pleasant on the nose:
acacia blossoms, honey, candied apricot and a hint of wild flowers. Refreshing on the palate, predominantly fruity with a soft perlage and a nice flow. A prosecco that guarantees fun.
The ideal prosecco to start the evening, or to enjoy with a seafood salad or prawn cocktail.

Whether on New Year’s Eve, for a birthday party, on other special occasions or during the cosy time of year: our raclette is always well received, is sociable and convivial, and requires relatively little preparation. Eco Lodges will provide you with a raclette and accessories, and we will provide you with all the delicacies (e.g., raclette cheese, meat, vegetables, etc.), which will then be brought to your water villa. We ask you to prepare the ingredients we provide, such as vegetables, cheese or meat, according to your taste and to drape your table according to your taste.
Your raclette oven will then await you in the centre along with the paddles, which are topped with vegetables, cheese, etc., and then baked. On the upper grill, you can fry the meat or vegetables at the same time before bringing everything together on your plate. The nice thing about raclette is that there are no limits to your imagination. Countless possible combinations can be tried out in the paddles. Different types of meat ensure culinary variety on the table. If you are planning a raclette evening with us, you should not only think about the food, but also about the right wine.
