Vacation is a good opportunity to rethink behavior patterns or even the whole lifestyle. Best in a pleasant and inspiring environment. The two apartments in the "Green Phenicia" house by Anni Hauberg-Lahoud and her husband Dany offer guests the chance to try out a sustainable, packaging-free lifestyle. The two invite all curious people to take a relaxed look at an environmentally conscious lifestyle.

And here, in the middle of the beautiful Hanseatic city of Lübeck, it's pretty easy. To start with, there are delicious cakes, cookies and other homemade delicacies. When you look around with a cookie in your mouth, your heart really opens. The apartments are bright, large, colorful and, last but not least, furnished with great attention to detail. Most of the rooms contain self-made, original living and lighting ideas made from found driftwood, as well as old pallet and scaffold planks. Every piece of furniture has a story. "By not decorating or completing every centimeter of the apartment, we want to give you a feeling of being able to breathe", says Anni. That was a great success!

The location also contributes to well-being: the view through the bedroom windows looks directly at the beautiful, colorful old town houses on Lilienstraße in Lübeck. In the morning the sun is there and invites you to breakfast on the balcony.

The concept of "waste reduction" is present throughout the house, but is not brought across as unpleasantly instructive. On the contrary, the equipment clearly shows how uncomplicated and worth living a sustainable lifestyle can look like. Dany and Anni are friendly hosts who are happy to share recommendations for visiting the city. Lübeck's old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bicycles are available free of charge to take a look at the numerous beautiful corners. In addition to visiting the city, there are excursions to the Baltic Sea, the Wakenitz River or the Elbe-Lübeck Canal. The area offers almost unlimited cycling and water sports.

We also featured this accommodation in Five places for city trips in Germany. You can find the hosts' favourite recipe to try in the kitchen whispers.
