Relaxing apartment on the UNESCO World Heritage Site Reichenau. We are happy to share it with you!
The apartment is ideal for a family and is too small for four adults or total strangers. Please have a good look at the floor plan for more details as the bathroom is only reachable from the living room!
Bedroom 1 has a small kitchen area that can be hidden from view. Bedroom 2 is a comfortable sleeper couch in the living room area.
We prefer guests with at least one prior air bnb review.
The space
Apartment Description:
This is an amazing 50 m2 two-room apartment on the 2nd floor (called 1st floor in Germany) which can be reached by stairs or elevator. It includes access to an indoor heated pool open between 6 am and 10 pm. (closed in Nov for deep cleaning). The pool is 16 m long and 29 C / 84 F warm.
In addition to the bedroom, the apartment has a comfortable double bed sleeping area in the living room, making it suitable for up to four people - preferably families. Babies are considered a fourth person. The furnishing is a combination of 70s and Modern and is cheerful and tasteful.
The bedroom has one double bed (Swissflex, 160 cm x 200 cm - Queen Size) as well as a small kitchen (sink, small silent fridge, two-burner stove, quiet dishwasher, etc) which can be hidden behind blinds (Rolladen). The baby crib is rentable upon request.
The larger sleeper couch in the living room folds out comfortably to sleep two people - preferably kids.
The spacious living room also has another couch, a dining table and chairs, multiple dressers and work spaces, and opens onto a large balcony with a view onto the mountains and lake.
The entry way room contains a small kitchen with a toaster, toaster oven, microwave, small refrigerator, coffeemaker, steamer, and other convenient gadgets. The 2nd room contains a kitchen area with a dishwasher and a 2 field ceramic glass cooking stove which can comfortably be separated via blinds and room divider from the double bed. The two kitchens allow guests to prep food in separate areas.
We have high speed internet suitable for video calls and a TV. Bedding, towels, and a hair dryer are included. There is a ping pong table room and an indoor swimming pool which is especially great for those rainy days.
We have a shower/bathroom but it's more fun to take a shower by the pool.
There is an indoor garage but it is easier to park for free outside.
You can access the indoor pool via elevator. It will be closed for deep cleaning usually in November.
With a special registration guest card you can take the local bus for free and will not need your car. Please present all your names, birthdates, ID numbers and your address to us before arrival. At the Tourism Office you will then be able to pick up the registration cards for the free bus rides and all sorts of discounts.
The island offers rental bikes and you can rent canoes. The island is considered a world heritage site that specializes in farmland. Our building is an amazing place located behind a small castle. Between the building and us is a large park with benches, a small pond and a playground - ample space for children to play safely.
You can actually reach the apartment by public transportation: Just take the train to the train station 'Bahnhof Reichenau' on the mainland and connect to the local bus that lets you off on the island at Reichenau/Königsegg which is very close to the apartment.
The nearby town 'Konstanz' is very picturesque and has a really beautiful old town and harbor.
It is very, very relaxing to spend your vacation on the island and swimming in the lake with a 5 min walk to the swimming place is a sensation.
During German holiday times we have a 5 Night booking minimum. Otherwise the minimum booking is 3 nights. The apartment is only suitable for 4 people who preferably are related. With five people - even if the fifth person is a baby - the apartment is really too small.
Guest access
You have access to the entire apartment, to the pool, the table tennis room and an area where you can lock your bikes.
