Golden Hill Country Chalets & Suites
First Place: Southern Styria is often referred to as the “Tuscany of Austria.” There, nestled among the rolling vineyards, Barbara and Andreas Reinisch have turned their dream of an extraordinary retreat into reality.
About 25 minutes south of Graz, the capital of culinary delights and culture, lies the unique, sustainable hideaway Golden Hill Country Chalets & Suites. A magical place. A haven of joie de vivre. A multiple award winner, it stands as a gem within the Hideaways Hotels collection. Amid lavender, cypress trees, vineyards, and boundless freedom, little worlds of wonder unfold. Exclusive experiential architecture blends seamlessly with heartwarming Mediterranean simplicity. Guests may choose among five exclusive country chalets and one extravagant premium chalet. A breathtaking panoramic loft—300 m² of pure luxury for two. Private spas. Swimming ponds. Infinity pools. All of this is designed to conserve resources, in harmony with nature, and with hosts who love the good life just as much as you do.
Private
Leave everyday life behind and enjoy an exclusive getaway with wellness tailored to your every whim: Retreat to your private sauna, indulge in a bubble bath in your own chalet garden or on your chalet’s terrace with panoramic views, or surrender to a massage in front of a crackling fireplace. Dive into the year-round heated infinity pool, which is all yours, and savour the vista of the park and the natural swimming pond. Look forward to a special wellness vacation in Southern Styria, where tranquility and complete privacy are our top priorities. During your chalet vacation, in addition to your private spa in your own chalet, enjoy the 15,000 m² idyllic park grounds as a wellness oasis. The pièce de résistance is the 600 m² natural swimming pond, complete with a panoramic sauna, fitness cube, and champagne and cigar lounges. A special bonus: horses you bring along can graze in their own paddock right in front of the chalet.
Welcomed and cared for personally by the hosts. No request is too grand, no desire too imaginative. She is the wish-fulfiller and hostess for #goldenmoments; he is the Director of Happiness. Together they are not only the finest guides to the region’s “hot and hidden spots,” but also ensure that guests lack for nothing. Whether it is the culinary delights of a gourmet breakfast (for which, by the way, there are no set times here), private dining served course by course in the chalet, a fine glass of wine paired with a Golden Hill cigar by the fire pit, or a shared excursion to the vineyards: The host couple is passionate about what they do and is delighted by the many heartfelt reviews as well as prominent national and international awards.

“Sustainability is a matter close to our hearts. In addition to preserving the historic building structure and using eco-friendly wood construction, we’ve made sure to incorporate social and environmental considerations into every aspect of our operations. We use well and rainwater for garden maintenance; we swim in natural ponds, enjoy the sauna, and work out in upcycled shipping containers. A solar and photovoltaic system, along with geothermal and air-source heat, provide energy and heat with a clear conscience, and five electric-vehicle charging stations are available to our guests.” “We’re particularly proud of this unique feature: thanks to the new 50 kWp PV system, the Polarfuchs Country Chalet and the Steppenfuchs Premium Chalet—including their private spas and pool—are energy self-sufficient,” says Andreas Reinisch, who is also a co-initiator of Austria’s TRIGOS sustainability award.
