Also good to know:
- Is the pool heated all year round?
Yes. The outdoor pool on the sun deck is kept at around 34 °C all year, even when it snows. That is bath temperature: you can stay in the water for a long time without getting cold.
- Can I swim laps in the pool?
Not really. The stainless steel pool with its open view of the landscape is made for floating. If you want to swim lengths, Lake Schwarzsee is a two-minute walk away, with a wild swimming season from May to October. We lend you the Beach in a Bag with a beach towel and parasol free of charge.
- Are drinks and snacks served by the pool?
Yes, from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. We bring them from the bar straight to the sun deck.
- When is the sauna open?
Daily from 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm. In very bad weather we heat it earlier, and on request at other times too. Sauna towels are in the sauna area, your pool towel and bathrobe are in your room.
- Is there a spa area?
Yes, a small one. It includes the warm outdoor pool, the pool lounge with sheep’s wool futons and reading material, the stone pine sauna in the garden and the sauna room with a tea bar. Massages are also available in the house.
- Can I book a massage?
Yes. Freelance massage therapists work in dedicated rooms in our house. You book directly with them via WhatsApp. The treatments, prices and contact details are in the massage flyer, on site and online.
- Can I use the pool before check-in and on my departure day?
Yes, both. Check-in is from 2:00 pm, check-out by 11:00 am. You can use the pool, pool lounge, garden and bar as usual on both days, and the sauna from 3:00 pm. You can shower and change in the sauna area, and your car can stay until the evening.
- Can day guests use the pool and sauna?
No. The pool and sauna are reserved for guests staying in the house. That way there is enough room by the water for everyone.
- Are dogs allowed by the pool?
No. The pool, pool lounge, sun deck, sauna and sauna garden are dog-free areas. Dogs are allowed in the restaurant and on the other terraces.
- Is there a gym?
No. Around Lake Schwarzsee you will find running and walking trails and simple outdoor fitness equipment, all within walking distance. In summer the small garden decks are a good spot for yoga and Pilates.
