Taubenkobel is a charming boutique hotel in Austria where the accommodation is almost secondary to the extraordinary gastronomic experience at its heart. The cuisine is rooted in contemporary Austrian cooking, with beautifully considered plates that feel (and look) like a piece of art. The best time to visit is during the milder summer months or early autumn, when the outdoor dining area comes into its own and the surrounding landscape feels at its most inviting. Between long meals, retreat to the sun loungers beside the property's own pond, letting the afternoon unfold at an unhurried pace. You will leave feeling restored, rejuvenated and rested.
