Waldhaus Rudolfshöhe

Bad Gastein, Austria
Map
A 600-year-old house, four rooms, a sycamore tree straight out of a fairy tale, and a silence you can almost touch. Up here on the edge of the forest, Nina and Denis have created a place that feels like an invitation into their own living room—only with a better kitchen and a better view.
