At Gut Sein, the day begins in a relaxed manner – with a breakfast that provides warmth and energy. At the small buffet, seasonal fruits, homemade cakes, fresh spreads, and regional specialties await – along with lovingly prepared à la carte dishes such as fine egg dishes or creamy porridge. Everything is carefully selected, much of it organic, and always made with love. Lunch continues to be light and enjoyable: salads in a jar, aromatic soups, or a sausage from the in-house butchery – simple, honest, and perfect for a break on the terrace or while out in nature. In the afternoon, the lounge invites you: tea, cakes, and small delicacies are ready – for self-service, to linger. And in the evening? The Pauliwirt next door opens its doors: A hearty 3-course menu with regional delicacies and vegetarian options ensures a delightful end to a peaceful day.
Inhale. Exhale. Feel. At Gut Sein, you are invited to truly arrive. Daily, alternating Yin Yoga and Qi Gong sessions take place – mindful, holistic, and inclusive. In the summer months, the class room moves outdoors: under fruit trees or in the forest, nature becomes a quiet companion on your inner journey. In the small, exquisite wellness area, a soothing pine sauna, an infrared cabin, and a Kneipp pool await – open daily from 4 to 8 p.m. For additional relaxation, classic massages, facial treatments, Shiatsu, or singing bowl treatments are available upon request.
The cosy living room with a bar is open all day for relaxation – perfect for a break in the small library, a round of board or card games, or simply to enjoy the quiet bustle of the hotel. The gentle power of water can be experienced during a walk along the stream, providing profound relaxation. The hotel's surroundings are ideal for activities in nature. Hiking, cycling, and Kneipp therapy at refreshing springs offer numerous opportunities to discover the beauty of the Carinthian landscape. Additionally, guests can immerse themselves in hands-on experiences such as bread baking or cheese-making courses, getting to know the regional culture.
At Hotel Gut Sein, nine lovingly furnished retreats await relaxation-seeking guests – five cosy double rooms in the attic with breathtaking mountain views, a spacious deluxe double room overlooking the village square, and three stylish junior suites, some with a balcony and additional seating area. The rooms range from 25 to 40 square metres and offer modern comforts such as air conditioning, Wi-Fi, TV, refrigerator, shower, safe, hairdryer, and bathrobe in a calm, minimalist design.
