“Taubenkobel?”, you might say while forcing your tongue to doing the right German pronunciation. But yes, Taubenkobel it is; a place made of dreams.
Spending time with Barbara and Alain, the co-owners of the family-run boutique hotel and restaurant Taubenkobel in Austria, one easily becomes completely absorbed by their warmth and palpable veracity.
You instantly feel at home.
Once the cheapest house in Burgenland, Taubenkobel now boasts 12 luxurious and unique suites, an exquisite restaurant and the more casual “Greisslerei” (16/20 point by Gault Millau) next door, beautiful gardens and a small lake, transformed to be used as a natural swimming pool.
Taubenkobel is a place where you leave your phone next to the gramofon in your room and forget about the world outside. It’s a place where you fall in love with life close to you.
