This January started really well for me, I have already visited one country and made plans for at least one half of the year. Planned trips and events and can’t wait for every other one to happen.
Last week I visited probably one of the best places I have even stayed and been to. South Styria in Austria only 30kms away from main city, Graz is where the Golden Hill Chalets and Suits are located. In a beautiful and peaceful region of South Styria. Golden Hill is part of the Hideaways collection hotels around the globe. 150 hotels that were chosen to be part of this group and Golden Hill is included in this beautiful collection spread across the world. It’s a privilege to be part of this group and I was so lucky to stay there for three days! Amazing experience with the best hospitality I have even acknowledge with the greatest support from the owners – the loveliest people I have even known and met in my whole life. I’d love to thank you for everything you guys did to make this stay special. I even was privileged to have cooked my favourite food on earth – pizza! Barbara have cooked fresh pizza for us so we have a pleasant way back to the airport. A dream, real dream.
Previously built stable converted into a modern luxury complex right in the middle of South Styria surrounded by beautiful forest with a perfect wine cellar where some of the parts of it where kept original and with the modern architecture completed and left untouched made me feel I was in my own castle just for a while. When you’re at Golden Hill Chalets & Suites you can have a moment to enjoy locally made their own wine – I tell you what… if you’re wine lover make sure to grab few bottles with yourselves back home. It’s amazing, crispy and most important it’s a local produce which I appreciate the most whilst travelling – love to try all different locally produced foods. It always has a taste, flavour and it’s rich in every aspect.
Golden Hill Chalets & Suites offers three modern luxury chalets where attention to the details is the motto of the owenrs – literally. I would not change a single item in these chalets, it did really make me feel home while I was residing there. Hence this #HomeAwayFromHome hashtag being used. All of the properties are built with an idea to have this luxurious stay but also to make you feel as comfortable as possible and make this feeling ‘like home’,(sleeps 2-4 ppl) depending on the chalet. Golden fox (one we had)and also my favourite one, silver and red fox to choose from. A country house which can sleep up to 6ppl and the mighty loft which sleeps 2ppl and has a total space of 250sqm!!! The size of that place is incredible and window space makes you think you’re living in a glass house. Located on the top and it has a private natural swimming pond, private sauna( Each of the chalets has also got an access to private sauna room). Astonishing views and privacy in the loft leaves incredible experience of them all however If I had to choose I would still choose our Golden fox Chalet for our future stays. The interior design in each of them is incredible and thoughtfully designed with an individual designer furniture pieces allocated to the perfection that you would never want to change anything.
The place also offers a few activities in case you’re keen to explore the local wine yards, there are also bikes available to explore the area and for those who love fitness there is a gym room to sweat off last night calories, also there are hiking routes to enjoy the views in the area.
In case you require something extra head over to the team and ask for the balloon flights, horse riding and you can even be picked up by a helicopter from the destination you chose. If you’re a golf player they have not forgotten about you too.. 6 golf courses to play locally and in case you are a motorist, they also thought about taking you on a trip in a BMW or Mini as well as motorcycle rides. Isn’t the choice amazing? They have ideas for everyone and everything!
The ‘resort’ as I called it offers a huge space of the park with a natural swimming ponds and a champagner lounge which opens in the summer where you can enjoy finest glass of champagne with you loved ones. Incredible experience being in such quite yet beautiful location and peaceful atmosphere to stay at. Astonishing sunrises and sunsets to watch while bathing in the pond in the middle of summer – it’s something I must come back to and experience once again. I literally felt in love with the location – right in the middle of nowhere where you can feel this ‘hideaway’ vibe. A hotel with a personality and professionalism too. I believe it’s everything you need to feel amazing and to make your stay unforgettable.
On the bottom of this post I will leave all the contact details for you to make arrangements and queries of your possible dream stay further this year. From the bottom of my heart I will recommend this without a doubt,and truly this was our best stay ever we had. It was amazing and in such gorgeous,quite location. Although we had only couple of nights and almost full three days to make most of it, I have felt great, rejuvenated and well rested – that is how this place worked for me. It was amazing and exactly the way I thought It would be.
I will leave you to enjoy the photos below to imagine and to enjoy the vibe.
With every booking of the chalets you would be served with a breakfast that gets delivered in the morning ( in your own preference time and food choice ) to your Chalet. Amazing combination with the locally produced food and drinks enjoyed with a cold glass of champagne I think it’s the best way to start your romantic stay. Have a sneak peak of how delicious it all looked – and even the bread was freshly baked by the owners. I was In heaven as I am biggest bread lover.
