Cozy Family Apartment in Amden with Mountain View and Pet-Friendly Policy

About the Accommodation

The apartment is located in a beautiful historic village house from 1914, which means that some of the ceilings in the living room and bedroom are a little low (approx. 185 cm). The charming 2-room attic apartment, located on the 3rd floor of a picturesque village house from 1914, exudes a unique history. Without a lift, this house, which once belonged to the artist Franz Baumberger, offers a special living ambience. Baumberger, who particularly appreciated the colour of the "Veuve Clicquot" champagne label, had this exact colour mixed and had the entire house painted in this shade. The lovingly furnished flat comprises a bedroom, a living room and a kitchen. The sofa bed in the living room offers additional sleeping space for more than two people if required. The flat is fully equipped: a baby cot for the youngest guests, an oven, CD and DVD player, a fondue and raclette set for cozy dinners, internet connection and Wi-Fi for digital networking. Pets are welcome in the flat, making it an ideal home for pet owners. The kitchen is separate and equipped with all the necessary utensils including kitchen linen, a fridge, a microwave and a coffee machine. In addition to the combined living and sleeping area, the availability of a washing machine and tumble dryer also adds to the convenience. A car park is available for guests arriving by car. Designed as a non-smoking flat, it offers a clean and pleasant environment for all guests. An extra bed can also be provided if required, emphasising the flexibility and adaptability of the flat. Pets are very welcome in the house.
