Ultimate Tranquillity at 1,100m - the Austrian Alm

If you're looking for an Austrian style mountain chalet away from it all and with an air of utter tranquillity, then you're looking at the right place! Our house has room enough for up to 9 adults, with comfortable, cosy accommodation.

The kitchen, though quite small, is cleverly designed: several people can sit on the 'Sitzbank' around the table and keep out of the way, leaving whoever's cooking to get on with things unhindered. There's a small, traditional wood-burning stove - especially good on those colder days - and a Miele oven and hob for everyday use.

The sitting room - with an additional dining space, and table for 10 - has an Austrian 'Kachelofen' - a large, wood-fired tiled oven with power enough to warm the whole house through in winter. The room looks southwest and west, with stunning views of the distant Karawanken mountain range. Double doors lead out to the patio, with a large, locally made wooden table and seating for 8 or more, and retractable awning.

Both bathrooms have recently had a beautiful, complete modern refit - please see the photos.

We live in Klagenfurt and England, and use our house at Buggl in Bach mainly at the weekends. We're always happy to talk about places to visit, good walking routes, nearby ski areas etc. The house is more fully equipped than some 'holiday' accommodation, and you will often find jars of our home-made jam, chutney and so on which you're welcome to use!

Please note: for 8 Thursday evenings in summer, from 1900 to 2400, there are wonderful, traditional, musical evenings at the neighbouring farmhouse (200 m walk), with drinks and food available - these evenings are famous in Carinthia. As a special arrangement for our guests, please mention that you are staying at our house, and you will receive a discount of €20 per person from any food and drinks you order.
