Designer charm meets rural escape – where nature, horses and style come together. Welcome to Larogy’s Hideaway, a unique countryside retreat where an old farmhouse meets modern design. Located in the picturesque border region of Austria, just minutes from Italy, this peaceful estate invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and enjoy life surrounded by nature. You’ll stay in one of two thoughtfully designed apartments – or combine them into a single spacious unit for families or friends traveling together. The heart of the property is the charming courtyard and adjacent stables – with the option to bring your own horse (on request and for an additional fee). Larogy’s Hideaway is located in one of Austria’s most beautiful and diverse regions – nestled between the mountains of Carinthia and the gentle hills leading toward Italy. Here, nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and those seeking peace will find a truly special place. Just a short drive away, Lake Weißensee and Lake Pressegger See offer crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming, paddleboarding or simply relaxing by the shore. In winter, Lake Weißensee transforms into Europe’s largest groomed natural ice surface – a magical setting for ice skating and long walks across the frozen lake. During the colder months, the Nassfeld Ski Resort offers sun-drenched slopes, state-of-the-art lifts and breathtaking views. Whether you're skiing, snowboarding, or ski touring, Nassfeld has something for everyone. Right outside your door, endless trails invite you to explore on horseback, bike or foot. Guests bringing their own horse will find unforgettable riding routes through pristine countryside – far from noise, traffic and stress. The Italian border is just minutes away – ideal for spontaneous day trips, local markets, or an evening aperitivo with a view. Here, the Alpine and Mediterranean lifestyles blend into a truly relaxed rhythm.

Larogy’s Hideaway is more than just a holiday home – it’s a piece of my own story. I was lucky to receive this house from my family. As a teenager, I lived here myself, surrounded by nature, animals and a slower rhythm of life. Later, I discovered my love for traveling and spent years exploring the world. Now, with children of my own, I often return to my roots – to this quiet corner of Austria that still feels like home. I wanted to create a place that reflects my passion for thoughtful design but still feels warm, welcoming and full of soul. The highlight, of course, is the horse stable right outside the door – along with our cats and chickens, who complete the picture of this peaceful, sleepy little village. Larogy’s Hideaway is meant to be a retreat – a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel at ease from the very first moment.

Step outside and you’re already on the trail: the entrance to the Garnitzenklamm is just minutes from the house. This dramatic alpine gorge winds its way through narrow rock passages, wooden bridges, and waterfalls – an unforgettable hike that can take you all the way to Nassfeld, one of Austria’s top ski and hiking areas. Along the way, traditional alpine huts like the Garnitzenalm and Watschiger Alm offer the perfect place to pause, refuel, and soak in the view. If you're in the mood for culture, the local heritage museum right in the village offers fascinating insights into the region’s rural past – a quiet but meaningful reminder of what makes this place so grounded and special. In summer, the area comes alive with vibrant "Kirchtage", traditional village festivals filled with folk music, regional cuisine, and heartfelt hospitality. Water lovers will be drawn to the nearby Pressegger See and the breathtaking Weißensee, whose shimmering turquoise tones make it one of Austria’s most beautiful lakes. Whether you prefer swimming, stand-up paddling, or simply lying in the sun with a good book – this is the kind of place where doing nothing feels like everything. In winter, the lakes transform into natural ice rinks, and the cross-country ski trails start practically at your doorstep. One of the most unique things about this area is its location at the crossroads of cultures. Just a short drive brings you to Italy, where an espresso at a sunny café, fresh pasta, or a visit to a local market makes for the perfect afternoon escape. Here, Alpine ruggedness meets Mediterranean ease. And back home at Larogy’s Hideaway? Horses grazing in the paddock. Cats sunbathing on the steps. A good glass of wine in hand and nothing but the sound of nature all around. Whether you come for the outdoor adventures, the stillness, or the spirit of the place – you may find it hard to leave.
