A Chalet for Two Close to the Schilcher Wine Route
Once a barn, this building was reimagined as a peaceful retreat, maintaining its original integrity while infusing it with a mix of natural materials. The interior is a study in thoughtful, handmade design, that also showcases owner Johanna Krainer’s custom-made tiles and unique glass art. A gas fireplace provides a cozy centerpiece, and the open-plan space features a small kitchen, along with a free-standing bathtub for lingering soaks.
A wide private terrace with seating offers views of the surrounding hills. This is where you will find a private, pinewood outdoor sauna, framed by panoramic glazing. There is a shared infinity pool with a terrace, a communal barbecue area, and a 300-year-old wine cellar, available for all guests to enjoy.
