It doesn't always have to be the 5-star hotel: These hotels, guesthouses, chalets and apartments focus on stylish interiors and modern design and offer amenities such as an infinity pool in the vineyards, a gourmet inn, a beach club or a private beach. And yet they're so inexpensive that you can add on an extra night without spending too much money.

If you happen to have the desire for a traditional costume, you are also in the right place at Haus Anna Plochl: host Bettina Grieshofer also designs, tailors and sells dirndls.
