About this apartment rental

Schiffmeisterapartment Melk – Design Meets History

These historic walls tell stories—and you’ll be living right in the middle of them. In the 16th-century, historic Shipmaster’s House—a listed building just a few steps from the Danube and Melk’s Old Town—a unique living experience awaits you: modern design meets centuries-old tradition. Premium materials, clean lines, and thoughtful details create an atmosphere where you’ll immediately feel at home—perhaps even more so than at home. The 76 m² apartment combines historic charm with modern comfort. Spacious rooms, high-quality furnishings, and stylish lighting design make it the ideal retreat for couples and connoisseurs seeking something special.

Highlights:
✅ Two stylish bedrooms (180 cm & 140 cm beds)
✅ Open-concept kitchen with dining area & fully equipped
✅ Modern bathroom with shower
✅ Workstation with high-speed Wi-Fi—ideal for working from home
✅ Smart TV, washer-dryer, and secure bike storage
✅ Bedding, towels, and toiletries included
✅ Starter kit with coffee, tea, spices, vinegar, and oil

Perfect for:
🌿 Couples & cultural travelers who appreciate style and history
🍷 Connoisseurs who want to experience the Wachau in a peaceful atmosphere
🚲 Cyclists on the Danube Cycle Path
💻 Guests who combine relaxation with modern work

The vacation rental is located in the heart of Melk’s Old Town—between the impressive Melk Abbey, towering high above the town, and the picturesque Danube. Fischergasse leads directly to the historic Danube riverbank, where the shipmasters once resided.

Today, cyclists set off from here on the famous Danube Cycle Path or enjoy a leisurely boat ride through the Wachau region. Just a few steps away, you’ll find cozy cafés, such as the popular Café Central or the Rathauskeller Café with its lovely outdoor seating area. For culinary highlights, I recommend the Restaurant Zur Post or the Koloman at Melk Abbey. Of course, no visit to the Wachau is complete without a glass of regional wine—for example, at the surrounding wine taverns in Spitz or Weißenkirchen.

In addition to Melk Abbey, other great options for day trips include the Aggstein Ruins, Göttweig Abbey, or a trip to Krems and Dürnstein. If you enjoy being active, you can cycle along the Danube, go hiking, or explore the Wachau by boat. I’d be happy to give you personalized tips upon your arrival to help you have the perfect time in the Wachau!
