Vineyard Chalets

Finely sugared vineyards. In between, the flash of the iconic light wooden roofs. And in the middle of it all: the feeling of being on vacation at home. That's the promise of the Weinberg Chalets in Deutsch-Schützen, a small village in Austria's southern Burgenland region, near the Hungarian border. From here, you can look out over the snow-covered Pinkatal valley and as far as the Pannonian lowlands. If you like, you can of course do some sports in the region, go to the neighboring ski resort Rettenbach or go cross-country skiing. However, it is much nicer to get to know the living heritage of the wine-growing region of Southern Burgenland. You are sure to find a new favorite drop or two at one of the nearby Pinkatal vintners.

Remaining true to the theme, guests stay in the four-star chalets in the vineyards, some of which are newly adapted cellars, each with 70 square meters of space. The living experience between modern comfort and rustic charm includes a fully equipped kitchen, two double rooms and two bathrooms. Thus it lives like almost like in the own four walls - completely intimately and comfortably. On the other hand, guests in the chalets can also expect the luxury of their own infrared cabin for two people. The chill-out zone under the apple tree is more sociable, but in winter guests are happy to leave it in favor of the heated outdoor pool.
