Living in wine – The "Wohnothek"
Red wine and gentle nature-spots are always appreciated by excursionists in the area around Eisenberg and Deutsch Schützen. Over the years, you could also eat quite well here and there. So then the restaurant Wachter-Wieslers Ratschen had initiated an upward trend. But where could satisfied and heavy bedded gourmets stay? That’s why it came to the idea to create a holiday home in the middle of the vineyards and just behind the restaurant. Dream Relax - Enjoy. A shorter and more concise way to describe a stay in one of 10 architecturally modern residential units is really applicable when visiting the lovely landscape of Southern Burgenland’s “Weinidylle”.
The bungalows are sufficiently large and perfectly equipped each with about 24 sqm. The rectangular huts with a rain-protected entrance and a small sundeck blend harmoniously into the surroundings. Ecological design and energy, lots of wood and glass surfaces allow a semi-natural sense of living and give a pleasant room climate.
Each unit is named after the famous wines of the surrounding wineries, have a living room, separate bathroom and a cosy toilet. Furthermore equipped with an effective air-conditioning system, when it is either really too hot or a bit fresh outside.
The "Wohnothek" at the Ratschen elevation is an ideal starting point for culinary, cultural and sporting exploring. E-bikes can be rented as well. Breakfast is served in the restaurant – inspiring views into the valley and up to the Hungarian border is included.
