Holiday home Knoten House
Between light, wood and sea: less than 500 metres from the beach, Knoten House in the fishing village of Agger is reminiscent of Danish summer house architecture from the 1970s. A modern interpretation with a focus on sustainability.

The most popular houses in 2025

Houses
Selected accommodation from our portfolio.
Austria, Salzburger Land, Zell am See Aufberg 1110
At an altitude of 1,110 metres, the cubic wooden building offers sweeping views of the Hohe Tauern mountains. In the two spacious holiday flats, the clear architecture is harmoniously combined with simple interiors and natural materials.
Holiday home Casa Plaj
Radically simple: Casa Plaj, an earth-red, archetypal holiday home, hovers on a ridge above Portugal’s Silver Coast. Almost sculptural from the outside, open and minimalist on the inside.
Bed & Breakfast Ois B&B
On the edge of the Palatinate Forest, two Bavarians have continued to build on a historic winegrowing estate. Ois is an apartment bed and breakfast that consistently translates Palatinate serenity into building culture.
Germany, Brandenburg Gutshaus Friedenfelde
Take a break in the Uckermark: the Friedenfelde estate is located in the middle of a landscape park, surrounded by lakes and extensive hiking trails. Read, relax, be yourself – you can do all this in the detached holiday homes as well as in the manor house.
Apartment Torre Ganduglia
Viva la Torre Ganduglia! On the Ligurian coast, in the heart of the medieval old town of Noli, a 24-metre-high tower offers new holiday perspectives on history and the sea.
Apartment // Holiday home Ferien Werder
A getaway between water and wine: Ferien Werder not only combines two gardens on the banks of the Havel River, but also classic modernism with contemporary architecture. A multi-faceted project with eight apartments and local spirit.
Spaces
Inspiring places and unusual locations for workshops, team events or private parties can be found in our Spaces section.
Space Ca’ dei Mongi Retreat Center
Surrounded by olive groves and offering spectacular views over Lake Garda, Ca’ dei Mongi is a place of seclusion, community and inspiration – ideal for retreats, workshops and events for small or (very) large groups.
Space Zenner Berlin
For over 200 years, Zenner in Alt-Treptow has been the place to be for Berlin society – from lavish parties and beer garden and bar culture in the GDR era to a modern event space with a nostalgic flair. Whether in the hall, club or wine garden, with 40 or 4,000 guests – Zenner still knows how to throw the best parties.
Space Salon Paramount
If you are looking for vision and new perspectives, the Dolomites are always the right place to be. In addition, Paramount Alma, located above Sesto, offers a panoramic Salon for lectures, seminars, and celebrations that shine just as brightly as the Three Peaks in the evening sun.
Magazine

Inspirations Just Leave Me Alone!
“If you don’t want to see another soul for a while …” – that was once the slogan of a rather little-known German holiday region. Behind it lies a very understandable desire, one that can be fulfilled in many places across Europe.
