Bed & Breakfast in the heart of the Mosel wine/Calmont region
ABOUT
Gästehaus am Calmont is located in the village of Ediger-Eller (sister villages of Ediger and Eller, we’re in Eller), on the right bank of the Mosel river, having the Calmont mountains as a backdrop. There is a paved walking/bike path that runs along the river as it wends its way from village to village. Hiking up the Calmont is a very popular pastime and easily accessible from our guesthouse. The Mosel is world renowned for its wine, and we have plenty of local vintners with wine tastings available. Hosts Brian and Arienne Wakefield strive to make you feel at home and want to come back.
OUR ROOMS
We offer seven rooms: 3 Basic Double, 2 Comfort, 1 Comfort Plus and 1 Apartment

We are very sorry, but due to other guest's allergies to animals, we do not allow pets in our rooms.
OUR SERVICES
Breakfast
Our breakfast is our own idea of a Continental breakfast, which many guests have called a rich breakfast, includes fresh brötchen, a variety of cheeses and meats, a freshly cooked hard boiled egg, fresh fruit cup, choice of juice, and endless cups of coffee and tea. The majority of our guests love what we do! Breakfast is included in the price of the room. (If you have dietary restrictions or are allergic to certain fruits, please let us know so we can adjust what we do)
Parking
We have parking for 5
automobiles on-site but there is unlimited, free parking outside of the hotel for vans and larger vehicles. Please ask about availability to reserve a parking spot for you on our property when you make your reservation.
We have plenty of slots for bicycles, which are protected from the elements with the racks being located under the passageway from the main apartment house to the back guesthouse.
Artworks by Estonian Artist Hilda Ratsep
Most of the rooms feature artwork painted by Estonian-born artist Hilda Ratsep (Arienne's grandmother) who was well known in the New York City/Long Island area.
Free Wireless Internet
Free wireless internet is available throughout the premises
Daily Housekeeping
Rooms are given a 'quick clean' every day of your stay.
Bedding and towels are changed every third day of a long stay, unless otherwise asked.
"Brown Bag" Lunch
If you are going out for the day of walking, hiking, biking or climbing, we can offer you Lunch To Go. This would need to be arranged ahead of time so we can make it fresh for you before you head out.
