Villa Antoinette – where nostalgia meets modern times

The latest discovery among Austria’s handpicked locations is Villa Antoinette – where nostalgia meets modernity.

Just awakened from beauty sleep, one can only guess her true age. Where once the emperor enjoyed fresh air and a unique view, today the gates open for everyone.

Anyone (and everyone woman) in search of exclusivity and seclusion, with a desire for historic charm and modern luxury. Much has changed, some has remained as it was.

Already at the beginning of the 20th century, those who thought something of themselves went to the air cure on the Semmering, where one could turn one’s back on the big city and spend time among one’s peers.

The new owners of the Villa Antoinette, Andreas Wessely and Michael Niederer, thought it was a tradition worth reviving when they renovated the emperor’s treasure with great passion and professionalism and furnished it with great attention to detail.

Now Antoinette, as the two lovingly call their Art Nouveau jewel, shines in a stylish ambience with ultra-modern features without losing the glamor of bygone days.

In addition to seven exquisite, spacious rooms, Antoinette now pampers its guests with new sun terraces, a home theater, a heated and lighted pool and an oasis of well-being complete with spa area, while the incomparable view of the mountains has miraculously remained almost unchanged and even the nearby nostalgic railroad tour would immediately recognize its imperial highness.

Whether it’s a gentlemen’s evening or a ladies‘ get-together, a wedding or a honeymoon, an anniversary or an after wedding celebration in a small circle – the noble Villa Antoinette offers space for up to twelve people who appreciate the antique esprit in summer and winter, but don’t want to miss modern conveniences…

We fell head over heels in love with the ambience of this unique villa and can only warmly recommend it to you.
