We, at Viagem Virgínia, are passionate about History, and especially castles and palaces. In 2020, Rafaella and Raphael, founders of Viagem Virgínia, moved to a palace, which is also the headquarters of our office, located in Gutenzell-Hürbel, in the state of Baden-Württemberg.
The beautiful Baroque-style palace will celebrate its 500th anniversary in 2021, being built to be the home of the Freyberg Family.
Close to the Romantic Route, and the incredible Ulm cathedral, it is a great place to stay for travelers who want to take an itinerary outside the obvious, exploring the interior and its beauties.
