ArchitectureVilla Anna is a house from the 1930s that has been completely renovated according to ecological criteria. The house was fundamentally restored to the original construction in order to make the character of the house - a detached villa with a square floor plan - recognizable again. The materials used, such as lime plaster and silicate interior paints, are of course largely sustainable. Wherever there was a choice, the host always opted for the sustainable variant: the beds come from a local carpenter's workshop and were made from solid silver fir from the Black Forest. Duvets and pillows are made from organic cotton / natural rubber from Austria. The down comforters come from a production in Bavaria that does not use live plucking. The bed linen was made in a Bavarian spinning mill / sewing room, the towels are made from organic cotton from India and have the Fairtrade seal.

FoodThe foods that are served are regional, seasonal and organic. Either the food is obtained from an organic market or from smaller manufacturers that are based on old handicrafts, such as bread from a single baker with high quality standards. The hostess prepares parts of the breakfast herself, such as cakes and various egg dishes. There are also vegetarian options.

SocialHeike Frank is also active on a voluntary basis in a cultural project in Speyer. She also supports a sponsored child at Plan International, as well as Greenpeace and the BUND.

EnvironmentThe origin of the objects in the house are transparent and traceable. Waste separation is communicated and the guests are made aware of it. The processes in the house (cleaning, washing, waste prevention) are a big topic. The operator sees further potential here: by the end of 2018 at the latest, she wants to buy food as packaging-free as possible and largely avoid food residues. Heating is with gas - the heating will soon be operated with biogas. The electricity provider will also be changed by then.
