Ferienhaus Danube Dreamin'

The romantic, over 300-year-old country house is situated in a sunny, secluded location on a hill near the Danube and the idyllic Danube lake. The unique cultural landscape of the Wachau with its rolling hills, fields and meadows invites you to relax and "slow down".
Swimming, water sports, cycling / mountain biking, hiking, a golf course and many cultural activities are in the immediate vicinity.
The house with 110 m2 of living space has been renovated authentically and with great attention to detail. The old substance was preserved and the building was furnished with selected furniture from 5 decades in a shabby chic and industrial look as well as modern technology. A highlight is the art collection, which can be found throughout the house and on the façade.

A comfortable kitchen with bar table, a large living room with two sofa beds and a dining table for 6 people, a bedroom with a double bed and spacious wardrobe, a small study with sofa and desk, as well as a bathroom with shower, a separate WC and a storage room offer plenty of space for up to four people. A special feature is the earth cellar carved into the natural rock, where drinks can be kept cool and bicycles can be stored.
Two covered and furnished terraces complete the living area.
