Inside, the holiday flats are furnished in a minimalist, Scandinavian style with modern furniture — simple shapes, plenty of wood and calm colours, punctuated by black accents that run through all three flats. Externally, too, the architecture is designed to be understated: rather than imposing itself, the house and courtyard blend into the surrounding landscape of meadows, mountains and the lake. The furniture was bespoke-made by a local joiner to ensure durability and quality, rather than relying on mass-produced items. Local craft businesses were also exclusively used for the construction work itself.

A small welcome pack awaits guests on arrival in all three apartments. It consists of a lovingly curated selection of local delicacies. Herbs and berries grow in raised beds in the garden, which guests are free to help themselves to during their stay.

Heating is provided by geothermal energy from a deep borehole, and each flat has its own electric charging point. When it comes to electricity, Haus und Hof goes one step further: Magdalena is a member of the local energy community — electricity produced in the village stays there. In collaboration with a regional cleaning products manufacturer, personalised cleaning schedules have been developed to save water and cleaning products, and vegan, organic and fair-trade toiletries are provided in the bathrooms.

In jedem Apartment liegen Yogamatten bereit — für die spontane Einheit auf der Terrasse, im Garten oder einfach im Wohnraum. Wer es noch ruhiger mag, findet in einem der Apartments (zwei. die Aktive) eine eigene Sauna. Schlichte Architektur, viel Holz und ruhige Farben schaffen schon beim Betreten ein Gefühl der Entschleunigung, das sich draußen fortsetzt: zwischen Fuschlsee, Salzkammergut und den Bergen, und trotzdem nur 20 Minuten von Salzburgs Kunst und Kultur entfernt.
