Our favourite rooms
There’s only six to pick from, and each has its own romantic charm. If vineyard views are your tonic, go for Room 1 for its reading nook; or, Rooms 5 and 6 have far-stretching vistas from their in-room, freestanding bath tubs.
Poolside
Bucolic scenery surrounds the hotel’s heated outdoor pool (open from 7am to 7pm), set in the gardens and fronted by a pool house.
Spa
There’s no formal spa, but you’ll find a small, wood-fired sauna beneath the birch trees, bookable for exclusive use on request.
Packing tips
Your refined palate for plenty of wine tastings.
Also
If you see a small dachshund pottering around, don’t be alarmed, it’s just the owners’ rescue, Frank — this is as much his home as yours.
Pet‐friendly
Four-legged friends are welcome to join you for €20 a night, each. See more pet-friendly hotels in Styria.
Children
Over-14s are welcome, but this wine-and-dine style of retreat is best suited to adults.
Sustainability efforts
During the hotel’s renovations, eco-friendly materials and methods were at the forefront. Since opening, this Earth-kind ethos has been maintained with rigorous recycling and composting systems, energy-saving sensors, minimal single-use plastic and a zero-waste approach to cooking. When it comes to ingredients, everything is either sourced from local, family-run farms or grown on-site in the gardens.
