Chalet Benatzky

Lovingly rebuilt in 2008, Chalet Benatzky is a masterpiece of Tyrollean Craftsmanship. The chalet retains many beautiful antique carvings, floors and other features. These, combined with modern contemporary furnishings and art picked by the owners, have created one of the regions most stylish chalets.

Nestling in the exclusive St Anton enclave of Nasserein only a few minutes walk to the lift station. Snow conditions permitting you can ski to within a short stroll of the chalet. The centre of St Anton is only a 10 minute walk or a 2 minute drive from the chalet.

Laid out over 3 floors the chalet offers over 550 sqm of luxurious family retreat. The chalet comfortably hosts 12 adults and 4 children in 7 bedrooms, and has a further single staff bedroom if required. Zip and lock beds have been used in all the double bedrooms so they can either be configured as single or double beds.

The grand drawing room and open plan living / dining area with sunken sitting room is situated on the ground floor of the chalet. This room as well as many others throughout the chalet share the stunning views of the surrounding mountains.

All floors, library and doors have been made out of 300 year old oak planks, which contrasts with the modernity of contemporary Chinese art. The open fireplace is the focal point of the drawing room. The dining table can be extended to comfortably sit 12. Doors open from the main living area onto the South West facing terrace.

Massive oak sliding doors lead from the living area into the extensive kitchen a mix of Tyrollean woodwork, contemporary art and modern steel appliances.

On the upper floors are 3 spacious double/twin bedrooms (zip and lock beds) each with their own ensuite bathroom in limestone and old oak, but also in black stone and grey tadellakt.

An old Tyrollean "Zirben-Stube" has been converted into a bedroom, and still has the antique carvings as well as a functoning traditional stove. The master bedroom has a more contemporary look and a big sunny terrace with a view over the St. Anton valley.
