It’ s a gorgeous ensemble: the short tower in the center of the pale yellow building guards over the access road that’s lined with old linden trees.
Pretty setting and star decorated cuisine: The Restaurant Atelier Sanssouci
The Villa Sorgenfrei – which means as much as “Villa with no worries” – is a gem nestled in the hillside of Radebeul, a few kilometers outside of Dresden.
The historical vineyard estate was built in the 1780s and refurbished meticulously with a good sense of taste. 14 rooms accommodate guests.
Part of the hotel is the Atelier Sanssouci, a restaurant that was decorated with a Michelin star. It has its own building next to the villa which formerly served as a ballroom. Although the main room is not large – seats 30 guests – the setting has splendor and elegance. A perfect environment for the innovative French cuisine of chef Marcel Kube – and the wine pairings of the sommelier who chooses many local wines.
