Our hosts were very lovely. They were so accommodating and they served a delicious breakfast. Their property is surrounded by a beautiful flower garden and the inside of the inn is truly an art museum. Our stay was peaceful (exactly what we wanted) and the pool made the scorching outside temperatures bearable. If you're visiting the Media, PA area, I promise that you'll love Alpenhof Bed & Breakfast.

Quiet and quirky -- excellent care

We felt so at home and very much welcomed the comfort and beauty of this B&B. Our trip was a bit stressful for reasons completely unrelated to where we stayed, and it was lovely to retreat each of the two nights we stayed into the quiet of this place and the excellent care and attention of our hosts. We are very grateful and will definitely stay again and again.

I loved the atmosphere. The bed was so comfortable and the fireplace was wonderful in the main room. The breakfast was delicious and the wood carved dining room table and stone wear place settings added a special touch. The owners, Roland and Ang, were caring hosts. My family visited us there and also fell in love with it. Highly recommended.

I typically do not stay at B&Bs. But I was pleasantly surprised during this trip. Anh and Roland our hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was excellent and beyond what I would have gotten at my favorite restaurant. The room was clean and comfortable and the rest of the house was filled with beautiful and interesting decor to admire. I am planning on returning again with my husband.

Magical Stay at Alpenhof B&B

From the moment we arrived at the Alpenhof Bed and Breakfast in Media, PA, we knew we were in for a treat. The hosts, Roland and Anh, greeted us with warmth and kindness, making us feel instantly at home. Their two adorable old dogs added to the welcoming atmosphere, eagerly greeting us as we entered the property. The breakfast at Alpenhof is, without a doubt, the best we've ever had. The pastries are simply out of this world, and the fact that breakfast is cooked to order adds a personal touch that is hard to find these days. The property itself is a sight to behold. It feels like stepping into a magical kingdom, where gnomes and fairies might just be real. The beautiful garden serves as a wildlife sanctuary - it's home to rabbits, chipmunks, and an array of birds. Alpenhof offers a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. We stayed in the family cottage, a charming space furnished with eclectic decor and wonderful antiques. The bed was incredibly comfortable, complete with a nice heavy down cover that ensured a good night's sleep. In conclusion, our stay at Alpenhof was nothing short of magical. From the delicious breakfast to the enchanting surroundings, it's a place we'll certainly be returning to. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with exceptional hosts, we can't recommend Alpenhof Bed and Breakfast enough.
