Handcrafted interiors with countryside views

Green meadows, rolling hills, and—on a clear day—the Alps on the horizon: in Schnetzen, in Upper Swabia, you'll enjoy a sweeping view of the countryside. Your host, Thomas, a master carpenter, redesigned the holiday let himself. Custom-made furniture, herringbone parquet flooring, and carefully selected found objects reflect his passion for craftsmanship.

In the spacious kitchen, you can cook together and gather around the French country-style bar table. A Quooker provides sparkling, chilled still and boiling water, while a wine cooler keeps your favourite wines cool. Afterward, the sofa awaits: put on a record, flip through a book and let the evening wind down slowly. Two bedrooms accommodate four guests; acoustic ceilings and soundproofing solutions complement the thoughtfully designed interior.

Thomas also uses the flat himself when there aren't any guests. His books, records and personal belongings make it a lived-in, unique space. Because he likes to add new furniture and found objects, some of the furnishings may differ from what’s shown in the photos. During your stay, you’ll have exclusive use of the holiday let. A family lives in a separate flat in the same building.

All around Schnetzen, the meadows and hills of Upper Swabia invite you to take a stroll. If you’d like to explore the area further, you can head to Berg-Kuppe Park in Berg and, from one of the benches, let your gaze wander over the Schussental valley toward the Alps. For a longer hike, try the Martinusweg, which leads through Berg and along a high-altitude trail toward Schmalegg. Or you can return after a short loop, pick out a new film, and enjoy the afternoon in the flat. Your dogs are welcome here, too.

If there’s anything else you’d like during your stay, Thomas will be happy to arrange for fresh rolls or breakfast, if possible. You can arrange these additional services in advance; they’re subject to availability and incur an extra charge.
