“Scenic Penthouse with a Smoky and upstairs Twist”

We chose this apartment for its stunning views, limited number of neighbours (being a penthouse), and the excellent nearby opportunities for outdoor activities including hiking, swimming, and watersports. The apartment itself was spotlessly clean, with an interior clearly styled by someone with a keen eye for design and a fondness for a calm, creamy colour palette. The kitchen met most of our needs, and we found the bed comfortably firm. The hosts had put together a welcome folder for their guests, what seemed to include with written instructions and guidance for German-speaking guests, alongside a generous selection of brochures highlighting local attractions in the region. All in German. A special shout out to the hosts flexible about the key collection and kindly helping us when we couldn’t locate the hotel reception, even arranging for the hotel staff to come find us! One element that came as a surprise, however, was that the apartment is located within a hotel complex. At least some of the neighbouring apartments appeared to function as standard hotel rooms. This setup offers guests the option to enjoy meals and drinks in the hotel’s restaurant, book treatments at the spa, and experience the vibrant atmosphere of family holidays, visiting pets, and even birthday receptions held in the communal lakeside areas. In other words, a blend of private apartment living with the bustle of a hotel environment—something worth being aware of depending on one’s preference for tranquillity or a livelier setting.
