About this property

Welcome to Rustico - your retreat between the mountains and Lake Constance

“Arrive and feel at home”—that’s the motto of our cosy “natural stone cave” at the gateway to the Bregenzerwald. The Rustico is a unique one-room apartment housed in a lovingly renovated farmhouse in the heart of Vorarlberg. With the charm of traditional natural stone and a modern, cosy interior, it combines a rustic atmosphere with contemporary comfort.

The accessible apartment is ideal for 1–3 people and features a well-equipped kitchenette with a sink and induction cooktop, a large refrigerator with a freezer compartment, a double bed, and a sleeper sofa for a third person. A dining table (which can also serve as a work desk) and a walk-in shower integrated into the room offer additional comfort, as does the bathroom with a sink and toilet. Underfloor heating in the living area ensures cosy warmth.
On the wonderfully cosy terrace, you can enjoy the view of the natural garden, snack on a few grapes, and simply unwind. With a separate, ground-level entrance and a private parking space right next to the house, the Rustico offers you the utmost privacy.

Its location between Lake Constance and the Alps makes the Rustico the ideal starting point for numerous activities in the border triangle—whether hiking, skiing, biking, swimming, experiencing culture, or simply relaxing. The surrounding area is a true paradise for nature lovers and also offers plenty of opportunities to explore the cities of Bregenz, Lindau, Feldkirch, or Dornbirn.

Originelles Appartement

Die Ausstattung war geschmackvoll. Kühlschrank, Küche, Bad sehr gut, ebenso die kleine Terrasse. Sehr freundliche Vermieter. Kleine Abzüge für das Bett, das nur auf einer Seite Zugang hat und dafür, dass es keinen Kleiderschrank oder Kommode gibt. Sehr gut ist die Verbindung mit der S-Bahn in die Umgebung und nach Bregenz.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Rückmeldung und die positive Bewertung unseres Appartements. Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen die Ausstattung, die Terrasse sowie die Lage gefallen haben. Bezüglich Ihrer Anmerkungen möchten wir kurz erläutern, dass wir uns bewusst gegen einen Kleiderschrank entschieden haben, um den begrenzten Raum möglichst offen, luftig und funktional zu gestalten. Alternativ stehen unseren Gästen offene Ablagemöglichkeiten zur Verfügung. Auch die Bettanordnung ist dem Raumkonzept geschuldet und – wie auf den Fotos ersichtlich – Teil des gewählten Designs. Wir danken Ihnen für Ihren Besuch und Ihre konstruktiven Hinweise und wünschen Ihnen alles Gute.
