In short: Landhotel “Zum Pottkuchen” in Kalbe (Milde) is a small meeting hotel for teams of up to about 8 people who want to work with focus and stay overnight in the house. Each participant can have a room of their own. The conference room itself seats up to 12 people; for larger day events, the “Gute Stube” (parlour) is added as a second room.
As of: November 2026
Who is the meeting room suitable for?
For small teams planning a retreat, a strategy day, a workshop or a seminar away from the everyday office routine. The conference room is most relaxed with 8 people. That suits our hotel: we have 8 rooms, 4 single and 4 double rooms. So on a retreat of several days with 8 participants, everyone can have a room of their own – and the group has the place to itself in the evening.
How many people fit in the rooms?
| Room | Size | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| conference room | 25 m², daylight, access to the terrace | up to 12 people; with overnight stay ideally up to 8 (everyone has their own room) |
| Gute Stube (parlour) | 30 m², daylight | group work, breaks, coaching, breakfast |
| Combined | around 70 m² including entrance and buffet area | day events with more than 12 people, split between both rooms |
For larger day events the group splits up: up to 12 people sit in the conference room, while other participants work in parallel in the “Gute Stube” – for example on group tasks.

How does catering work?
Breakfast, coffee, drinks and small snacks are available right here in the house. For lunch or dinner we recommend Restaurant Dubrovnik in Kalbe (Croatian cuisine, within walking distance) – if you wish, we will reserve a table for the group and arrange everything. For stays of several days we also organise catering, for which we prepare an individual quote. Companies can receive an invoice on request; for this we need a written confirmation of cost coverage in advance.
How does a retreat with overnight stay work?
An example for two days:
- Arrival in the afternoon between 3 and 6 pm, check into your rooms, dinner together at the restaurant.
- First working day in the conference room after breakfast, breaks in the “Gute Stube” or on the terrace.
- Second day with group work in both rooms and departure in the afternoon.
In the off-season (October to April) the hotel is open from Monday to Friday – ideal for midweek retreats.
