Long dining table for up to 14 at Gästehaus Eltz
For Whom · Occasions

Who truly arrives here.

The house can be many things. Not because it is generic — but because it adapts itself anew to every visit. Eight invitations, all of them sincere.

Long family dining table
01

The whole family. All generations.

Three bedrooms, three private bathrooms — closeness where you want it, retreat where you need it.

Grandparents sleep step-free on the ground floor, the children up beneath the eaves, the parents in between. The dining table for fourteen will carry aunts and uncles too. And the garden carries the small ones through the whole afternoon.

Cosy parlour with tiled stove
02

A marriage at rest.

A fireplace, a baby grand, a lake at your doorstep.

The ground-floor bedroom has a step-free shower, and the armchair by the tiled stove a reader. The lake circuit is flat — 7.5 km, with several places to stop for refreshments. In the evening: the piano, a glass of Styrian wine, the silence.

Four-poster bedroom
03

Summer retreat. The way it used to be.

Weeks, not days. As tradition has it here for 150 years.

Hofmannsthal himself came every summer. The house is built for long stays — kitchen for self-catering, washing machine, writing desk in the blue room. For returning guests we offer reduced rates from the second week.

Free-standing bathtub
04

Just the two of you. Only the two of you.

Free-standing bathtub, four-poster bed, the whole house to yourselves.

A bottle of Styrian wine in the living room, fire in the tiled stove, the first snow outside. A walk around the lake without a word. The breakfast basket at the long table, or on the south balcony. In summer: the Dachstein mirrored on the lake, the high peaks still streaked with white.

Hunting lithographs in the guest WC
05

Hunting, fishing, and red wine.

In the heart of the Federal Forest game grounds. Arctic char and red deer at your door.

The Ausseerland is classic territory for red deer, chamois and roe; guest stalking through the Federal Forest service is possible. Day permits for char and whitefish are available on the lake. After the hunt: the fireplace and a Styrian red. A drying cabinet for mountain boots stands ready in the utility room.

Dog in the hallway
06

With your four-legged friend — explicitly welcome.

Fenced private garden. Lakeside path right at the door.

We are fond of dogs. €30 per animal per night, and the hallway already has the carpet for it. Leashes are required around the lake to protect wildlife, but in the shallow bays of the eastern shore there is room to splash. At Lake Grundlsee in Gößl you'll find an official dog beach.

Writing desk in the dove-blue room
07

Working where others come on holiday.

Desk in the blue room, fast Wi-Fi, two fireplaces for the long evenings.

The house holds longer stays beautifully: washing machine, full kitchen, quiet location. For focused writing, retreats à deux, or a sabbatical. We'll happily share a peaceful lake-loop route for your lunch break.

Upstairs salon
08

Host, not guest.

A baby grand from 1930. A table for fourteen. It's your turn now.

Bring friends from the neighbourhood, from Vienna, Munich or Salzburg, for a dinner or a house concert. The dining table seats fourteen, the piano is in tune, the kitchen is up to it. We'll arrange catering or recommend takeaway from the village.
