Holiday home Greiss­lerei Gösing

A pound of flour, butter and four apples, please! Standing in the kitchen of Greiss­lerei Gösing brings back childhood memories. But instead of a miniature version, guests can enjoy the fur­nis­hings and ambience of a real mer­chant’s shop. Where freshly baked rolls were once served over the counter, today you can cook or prepare breakfast. The res­tored shop shelves are inte­grated into the kitchen and stocked with regional pro­ducts. You sleep in a setting with his­to­rical flair, and outside the door you are immersed in the familiar atmo­sphere of the small village. The holiday home is located on a steep slope in the heart of Gösing am Wagram, a wine-growing village in Lower Austria. Right in the middle of it all, yet somehow on its own.

After standing empty for a long time, the Greiss­lerei – once the vil­lage’s central meeting place – was sold and given a new lease of life by organic win­egrower Daniela Vigne and her husband Toni Söllner. Since then, the building has offered up to six guests a retreat that pre­serves the spirit of the old Greiss­lerei. Pre­serving the existing structure and using resources sus­tainably were the focus of the reno­vation. In addition to clay plaster and ash wood flo­oring from their own forest, the entire interior, most of which has been reused, is inspired by the heyday of the grocery store between the pre-war years and the 1960s. The fact that nothing here is off the shelf, but that every detail has been carefully sel­ected, is also evident in the kitchen equipment, some of which con­sists of lef­tover goods.

The former sales room on the ground floor now houses the kitchen-diner with its old roller door and cosy fire­place, along with two double bed­rooms and two new bath­rooms. The third bedroom on the upper floor is only acces­sible from the cour­tyard via an iron staircase and is only used in summer. Depending on the season, the shel­tered cour­tyard and the terrace above invite you to eat, relax and sun­bathe behind flowing white curtains. And, of course, in a wine-growing village, a tasting at the in-house winery is a must.

What to do

Owner

Daniela Vigne has not only been an organic winegrower for 30 years and runs the Söllner Winery with her husband Toni Söllner, she also has a fondness for old buildings. When the Greisslerei was up for sale, the couple purchased the former village shop in 2015 and spent seven years renovating it themselves to turn it into a place of well-being for people who are self-sufficient.
