About this property

4* luxury apartment (4 ½ rooms) with nice view, lake, sauna

English version see below

The "Ship on Land" ****-Star Apartment: "Like a ship on land"—this ****-star luxury apartment, with its very spacious panoramic terrace overlooking the water, is located on the shore of Lake Constance.

From the ground floor of the historic “Für die Krone” residence, the living/dining room—located away from the hustle and bustle—and a balcony offer breathtaking views of Reichenau Island, colourful sunsets, and the tranquility of the water. The direct view of the lake evokes the feeling of a luxury cruise ship gliding peacefully across the water.

The spacious 119 m² apartment features a very spacious, modern, furnished living/dining room with a fireplace. The highly functional, fully equipped open kitchen is integrated into the living room.
Equipped with a dishwasher, refrigerator-freezer, hob, range hood, oven, microwave, coffee maker, tabletop grill, toaster, raclette machine, fondue set, soft drink maker, etc., the kitchen offers every convenience. In addition, a washing machine, dryer, cable TV with DVD player and VCR, stereo system, sunroom, hair dryer, etc., are available.
With three separate bedrooms, the apartment offers comfortable accommodation for four people. For added convenience, there are two bathrooms—one large bathroom with a bathtub, double sink, and Closomath, and another with a shower, sink, and toilet. The closets and storage areas provide ample separate storage space in each bedroom.

Bedding and a sufficient number of towels, shower towels, and kitchen towels are provided. A travel cot and high chair are available upon request. For pets, please contact the host in advance.
Internet access is provided via a hotspot and is suitable for light data usage (checking email, etc.); please do not use it to download films, send large amounts of data, etc.

Shared facilities include a bathhouse with a sauna and shower, right on the lakefront, and a bike storage room. The parking space assigned to the apartment is located directly at the house.

The building housing the 4 1/2-bedroom apartment is in the historic centre of Berlingen. The village, with a population of about 850, is situated on the picturesque Untersee—the southern Swiss shore of Lake Constance—and lies between Steckborn and Kreuzlingen/Konstanz. Across the lake lies the island of Reichenau. - These locations can be reached in 5–15 minutes. The town’s historic streetscape and inviting walking paths give it its special charm. Wine lovers will find fine Berlinger wines here. The town has a well-developed infrastructure, including a train station, a harbour, a bakery, a butcher shop, and several restaurants—all within easy walking distance—and offers a full range of water sports, including a school and rental services. The panoramic view is accessible via one of the many hiking trails; there are also numerous bike and skating paths. Berlingen has good transport connections by boat, train, or car to the neighbouring cities of Schaffhausen, Stein am Rhein, Winterthur, Zurich, Konstanz, Kreuzlingen, and St. Gallen, as well as to the natural, cultural, and artistic treasures of historical significance in the Swiss and German regions of Lake Constance. The newly built golf course is located on the Seerücken and can be reached in about 10 minutes.
A bakery, a butcher shop stocked with all basic groceries, four restaurants, and a café are among the village’s amenities. From Berlingen, scheduled trains run to Kreuzlingen / Konstanz and Stein am Rhein / Schaffhausen. From the harbour, boats depart for Kreuzlingen / Konstanz on the Rhine, from which the entire Lake Constance is accessible. The waterfront, a lawn with table tennis and a playground form the centre of the village along with the church.

Bronze Age settlements, the early Romanesque churches on Reichenau Island, the profusion of flowers on Mainau, the thundering Rhine Falls near Schaffhausen, the still-intact historic town of Stein am Rhein with its old painted facades, Hermann Hesse’s home and workplace on the Hori Peninsula, the inland amusement park Conny, or the wide range of museums and cultural events in Konstanz—the Lake Constance region holds countless treasures that are easily accessible from Berlingen.

Delightfully relaxing

We had a lovely family holiday here. There was space for the 4 of us to relax in the living room, sit on the balcony and watch the sun rise and set. We enjoyed exploring the area on foot as well as using the ferries to visit other areas along the lake. Well equipped kitchen, two bathrooms were great to have. It was lovely to take a swim in the mornings. Many thanks for a pleasant stay.

Relaxing waterside retreat with everything

Wonderful location on the lake and easy 5 minute walk to the station. Great flat for our family of 4 - well equipped kitchen and so helpful to have a washing machine and dryer inside the apartment, two bathrooms with plenty of linen and towels provided, separate bedrooms for the kids. We used this as our base to visit family and travelled by train to supermarkets and nearby towns. Local restaurant Hirschen - amazing as always! Recommend this property particularly for families.

Very nice property within an easy drive of Constance. Kitchen very well equipped with lots of cutlery, crockery and pots/pans etc. The sauna is in a separate building just outside the apartment and was very easy to use. Did not meet the landlady, but she was very responsive via email.

Schöne Wohnung mit einem einzigartigen Balkon über dem Wasser. Sauber und gepflegt. Die Sauna haben wir nicht gebraucht, es war eine Woche lang immer über 30 Grad. Guter Einstiegsort für Schifffahrten auf dem Untersee nach Konstanz oder Stein am Rhein. Berlingen ist ein kleines, hübsches Städtchen, hat aber ausser einer kleinen Bäckerei keinen Laden. Ohne Auto ist man auf den öffentlichen Verkehr angewiesen um Einkäufe tätigen zu können.

Sehr zu empfehlen

Die Ferienwohnung befindet sich in Berlingen und ist wunderschön gelegen. Es ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Die Schranksituation in den Schlafzimmern könnte etwas besser sein, war für 4 erwachsene Personen nicht ausreichend. Wir können die Ferienwohnung mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen. Danke an die Vermieterin, die für uns jederzeit erreichbar war.

Die Wohnung ist sehr groß und komplett ausgestattet mit allem was man im Alltag und in den Ferien braucht. Die Küche ist komplett ausgestattet, es gibt einen guten Föhn im Badezimmer, man bekommt genügend Tücher, die Bettdecken und die Matratzen sind angenehm, bei vielen Fenstern sind Fliegengitter, usw. Die Sauberkeit bis ins Detail haben wir sehr geschätzt. Die Lage zum See ist einfach top und wir haben uns jeden Tag aufs neue über die Aussicht gefreut. Die Bewohner des Hauses sind freundlich und ruhig. Der Parkplatz vor der Tür ist sehr praktisch. Weitere Plätze gibt es preiswert am Bahnhof (4 Gehminuten).

Lovely Flat with great views of lake

This is a spacious and well appointed flat with great views overlooking the Untersee (western end of Lake Constance). We were a family of five, but there was plenty of room with a large lounge and kitchen area. The utility room, with its washer and dryer, came in handy as we were in Switzerland for several weeks. There is a nice balcony where you can eat or relax and we watched the kids from there who swam in the lake every day. Some steps from the outside of the building give easy access to the clear and clean water. Berlinigen itself is quiet (which is just what we wanted), but there are number of lake side restaurants and a bakery and small supermarket in the village where you can stock up on groceries. Berlingen railway station is just 3 minutes walk away which has regular trains to Kreuzlingen/Konstanz and Schaffhausen. The jetty for the steamers, which go up and down the lake several times a day, is also a few minutes away so you can easily take a boat trip from there. We would certainly go back to this apartment.

Es ist so schön, wahr zu sein!

Wir sind ein Senioren-Ehepaar und hatten die Möglichkeit, einige Wochen hier zu leben. Beim ersten Betreten der Wohnung empfanden wir, "zu Hause" zu sein. Es war eine wunderschöne Zeit. Alles, was angeboten wird, haben wir so vorgefunden. Als wir wieder fort mussten, verabschiedeten wir uns aus der Wohnung, von Berlingen, vom Untersee und aus dem Kanton Thurgau schweren Herzens und mit feuchten Augen! Gerne wären wir noch geblieben. Aber das Uhrwerk und damit die Zeit - alles läuft und läuft und läuft. Mit voller Überzeugung empfehlen wir dieses Feriendomizil allen, die Wasser, Licht, reine Luft und Weitsicht lieben und schätzen. Nicht vergessen zu erwähnen sollen sein die nahezu grenzenlosen Möglichkeiten, aktiv zu sein. Das Netz der öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel (Bahn, Bus, Schiff) bietet unendlich viele Reise- und andere Möglichkeiten. Die Seele erfreut's. Schusters Rappen beflügelt's. Ein Aufenthalt allein lässt das alles nicht erleben. Wir werden unsere Entdeckungen jedenfalls fortsetzen!
