Spend the most beautiful days of the year with your family, your children or as a couple in our new, clean, large and bright roof studio apartment with a lake view in one of the most beautiful and not yet overcrowded holiday resorts on Lake Constance / Untersee!

*** NEWS: Since 2016 the apartment has modern air conditioning!***

Our approx. 95 m2 apartment in the entire upper floor of a house newly built in 2012 is cozy, spacious, very bright and clean and can accommodate max. Accommodate 6 people.

The apartment is ideal for:
People and families who want a beautiful apartment with lots of space and light in a prime central location in a lively, lively resort with all the amenities of everyday life and the Untersee with a café, swimming and ferry connections to destinations on the entire Untersee in the immediate vicinity.

The apartment is only conditionally suitable for:
People who are looking for seclusion and absolute silence.


In the immediate vicinity (a few meters to 100 m) are:
Ice cream parlor / pizzeria, bar, art shops, bus stops in front of the house, bakery, pharmacy, drugstore, several restaurants, savings bank with ATM, a high school, a church with a church tower, the local town house, the famous castle boarding school Gaienhofen.


Within easy walking distance (150-300m) are:
The lake with a bathing beach (gravel, approx. 150-200 m, unsupervised), riverside park, well-kept new, larger children's playground with plenty of space, an attractive cafe with small dishes and sun roof right on the water, ferry and yacht pier, directly adjacent nature and bird sanctuary with riverside and reed trails, a well-stocked medium-sized supermarket with regional products, post office, drinks market, medical practices (general and dentistry), local tourism and information office.
A Lidl and an Edeka market with a drinks market are around 8 km away.


Nearby cultural attractions:
Our apartment is almost exactly the same distance between the two famous former residential buildings Hermann Hesses in Gaienhofen and the Herrmann Hesse-Höri Museum (easy walking distance, approx. 200 m each). Hesse is the world's most widely read German-language author.
Also nearby (about 2 km in the neighboring town of Hemmenhofen) is the long-standing living and studio house of the famous German painter Otto Dix, who found asylum here on the Höri during the Nazi era and stayed there afterwards. Because of these two international heavyweights, the Höri peninsula is famous far beyond the region as an 'artist peninsula', but also houses and hosts other important artists such as. B. Paul Klee and rightly carries this name.


The region and the town of Gaienhofen: Leisure activities in the area and excursion destinations:
The Untersee region is a first-class German holiday region, offers numerous attractions and is strategically cheaper than the 'large' Lake Constance (closer to Switzerland, the Alps, the Black Forest and destinations such as Mainau etc. on the large lake). You are in a very pleasant central position and can make comfortable day trips to nearby Switzerland with many beautiful destinations such as Stein am Rhein (10 minutes), Schaffhausen with the Rhine Falls (30 minutes), Zurich and Basel (1 and 1.5 hours) , the Alps (1, 5 - 2 h), as well as the destinations on Lake Constance such as Mainau, Reichenau, Meersburg, Überlingen etc. and other nearby excursion destinations such as the southern Black Forest and the volcanic landscape of the Hegau!
Gaienhofen is a lively, lively and culturally significant holiday resort on the Höri peninsula on Lake Constance-Untersee, 'diagonally opposite' the World Heritage island of Reichenau and exactly opposite the Swiss bank and the town of Steckborn. The infrastructure is excellent and very suitable for families and guests, for whom a good infrastructure and the related comfort is important. Gaienhofen is one of the main holiday resorts on the Höri peninsula.

Self-catering, non-smoking (smoking on the balcony possible). Pets and garden use unfortunately not possible. Towels (large and small) and bed linen are provided. (1 set per person).

Thank you for the friendly welcome in Gaienhofen!
We liked the extremely tastefully and functionally furnished apartment - a highlight - very well. We felt comfortable here right from the start and, despite the typical November weather, had a relaxing week with nice trips and culinary friends.
We would like to come again!

This flat has been a jewel in our first vacation at the Bodensee. After visiting many places during the day, we knew we were returning to the cozy flat and a warm fire. The hospitality of the host knows no end.
best regards

    We enjoyed our stay at this part of the lake. Property is very well presented and very conveniently located with small beach, restuarants and bus top right on the door step. The apartment is new, very clean and has all the amenitis you could ask for, even air conditioning which was very welcome for the warm summer evenings. Auther, the owner and great host provided us with lots of valuable information. All in all, very pleasant and the property is highly recommended Peter, Alison & Emma.

    My family wanted to go to Europe. We were not particular where. I started with the airfare and found a cheap flight into Zurich. I then discovered the hotels (and everything else) in Switzerland) are priced rather hight. So I started looking for someplace across the border in Germany. I did not throw a dart at a map, but it was close. I just sort of picked a place, trusted to luck, and there we went. That is how I found Arthur's apartment in Gaienhofen, and I am glad I did. It is a beautiful place, well maintained, and it has everything you need. Arthur is a great host. He is very helpful and honest. He lives downstairs with his parents and their dog, which is the most well behaved 1 yr old Border Collie I have ever met. The town of Gaienhofen is charming. We enjoyed the Boot tavern, which is right next door, and we ate dinner at one of the local restaurants across the street. There are more restaurants and pubs at nearby towns just five to 10 minutes away. This is the perfect location for launching expeditions in any direction. We spent a lot of time in the Constance area and we visited Stein am Rhein twice. We will definitely be back and we will stay with Arthur again.

    My family and I stayed in Arthur’s apartment from August 31st to September 12th 2014. This was our first trip to Europe and Arthur was very helpful in making us feel comfortable and relaxed. He was attentive to our every need, speaks English extremely well, and even gave us many helpful tips about places to visit and how to get there. The apartment is very nice. It is newer construction and extremely clean and functional. The furnishings are good quality. It is very roomy with beautiful vaulted ceilings and we did not feel crowded at all. This is very nice as many places in Europe are much smaller than we are used to in the United States. The kitchen had everything we needed. There is also a washing machine which comes in very handy on longer stays such as ours. There is one full bathroom, and one 1/2 bathroom. We had a total of 6 people for part of the stay and this was important for us. The apartment is supplied with a flat screen television, a collection of DVD movies, a small library of books, and visitor brochures. All came in handy in the evenings during our two week stay. Basic Kitchen utensils are also supplied and even coffee and spices. On warm days it was delightful to sit out on the balcony lined with flower boxes and enjoy the peaceful scenery. At night is was great to lay on the bed and star gaze through the skylight located on the master bedroom ceiling. The apartment is situated in an ideal location for reaching many of the regions attractions quickly and easily. The village itself is small and quiet, which made for ideal conditions to come back and relax at the end of the day. On evenings when we did not feel like cooking dinner or venturing out, the small pizza and ice cream cafe across the street came in very handy. For those of you who are interested in famous literary personalities, Hermann Hesse’s former house is a 5 minute walk away. All in all, the facility is top notch and the owner is a true gentleman, polite, friendly and goes to great lengths to make sure your needs are met and that you are comfortable. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting the area. It was a dream come true and everything we could have hoped for.
