As a passionate host, I enjoy the many wonderful encounters with people from all over the world. Since January 2024, I’ve been able to help shape the villa among hostels – with openness, joy, and curiosity about everything that enriches our guests’ stay.

Catherin Quirin

Being a host is a job close to my heart. We constantly ask ourselves: “How exactly” do we want to be there for our guests? What would I like? For over 20 years, I have lived and shaped “the villa” with great joy.

I hope to see you soon at the Villa.
