The Gartenhotel & Weingut Pfeffel is located 900 metres to the west of Dürnstein in the vineyards of Ried Himmelsstiege and Vogelberg.

It offers cosy rooms, most with view of the Danube and the city of Dürnstein. There is an excellent restaurant on-site as well as a pool and a sauna. Make sure you don't miss the premium wines of the vineyard.

Wine, history of art and culinary delights – that’s what Wachau is known for. Our hotel is situated in the midst of all this. This small hotel is run by the Pfeffel family and is located in the midst of vineyards.

Guests can spend some time on the cosy terrace of their room or relax in the lounge with a book. The surroundings are also ideal for cycling along the Wachau. You can have a 7 course candle light dinner with wine tasting in the conservatory; the Kaminstüberl; or have a dish from the à la carte menu combined with a glass of local wine.

During the summer the outdoor pool and the sauna are ideal to relax after a tiring day spent cycling or outdoors. This is a great place for those who enjoy wine tasting. We also offer on-site seminars with our sommelier in the wine garden or the wine cellar.

The rooms are equipped with attention to detail and offer a relaxing ambiance. Enjoy the view of the charming landscape of Wachau while having a glass of wine (Grüner Veltliner) on the balcony or relax in your room after a beautiful bicycle tour along the river Danobe.

Please let the hotel know of any special requests.

Spend some relaxed hours on the terrace, in the Stüberl or the restaurant while having a glass of wine and enjoying a delicious meal. We offer fresh trout with herbs from our own garden, vegetarian dishes or regional specialities. We prepare every menu with love and attention for detail to ensure culinary delights for our guests.

In the evening there is a special ambiance in Wachau - guests can listen to romantic bird song in the cosy valley. The on-site restaurant offers different menus and guests can also relax in the romantic rose garden with a glass of Wachauer wine.
