berge is anything but normal. / Yet, this is exactly the knack to it.
berge is a guesthouse of specific character. It offers 16 individual apartments for self-caterers. It is extraordinary in so far as its guests basically take care of themselves and cater for themselves. That is why you will find a fully equipped kitchen in each apartment, except for "Berge-bude" and "Vorderstübchen". There is always room for two persons, while in some apartments an extra room or an extension sofa-sleeper provide room to put up more people.
Apartments
Just arrive! / You will certainly cope, however.
Your key to your apartment is deposited in a key box on your left hand side in front of the main entrance to the guesthouse (or by booking a garden flat the key box is next to the apartment door). You will find the number of your box and your personal code enclosed with your booking confirmation. During your stay you can use the box to stow away your keys in order to protect them from loss.
You need information? / Ask our "split" Team.
At the reception of berge, which is staffed in the morning and in the evening, the team of berge will help you with words and deeds.
If you need additional information and help outside the staff times, we would be pleased if you visit us at our furniture company, located within walking distance, only a few minutes away from berge.
Cooking by yourself is fun. / You don't have any choice anyway.
For there is no pub, no restaurant in berge. However, the small but
sophisticated kitchens invite you to cook by yourself. You can prepare
your meals on two electric induction hobs. The kitchens are equipped
with everything you need for your cooking wizardry: pots, pans, sieves,
cutlery, knives, espresso maker, teapot, beaker etc, but there is no stove.
We are pleased to give you hints, where best to go shopping or where
to get regional delicacies.
Oh, cooking is such fun. / But not all the time.
Whoever prefers being spoilt to working in the kitchen, can be
pampered in Aschau in various ways. He or she can for instance
enjoy being cooked for by a chef who is proud of the awards he
has won, or look forward to home-style cooking in traditional
inns. Our favourite restaurants and inns are presented in a leaf-
let in your apartment.
The garden is for everyone. / As long as you take care of it.
Sun deck and cottage garden invite you to relax and sunbathe. Feel free
to borrow canvas chairs from the depot. Please help us by putting them
back after use!
We love bicyles. / But not in the house.
You walk on creaking, natural floor boards in the guesthouse. We hope
you understand that bicycles and skis should not be deposited in the
house, but in the depot next to the car park.
Self-reliance is the name of the game. / Or make somebody help you.
The big cooking table and the fully equipped kitchen invite you to cook and
celebrate together. If you need help you can consult our local chef Hans
Blösl. Whether you want to cook together with him, enjoy being cooked for
or only get a freshly prepared meal delivered, everything is possible.
A wonderful breakfast or a simple snack is offered by the health food store
in Prien. For a fee we can provide further service staff.
Do relish the Große Stube. / And then do the dishes.
The Große Stube accommodates 20-25 persons and can be booked separately for events such as workshops, celebrations or receptions. This room can only be booked if there is a minimum of 5 apartments occupied additional.
You can chose whether to do the catering yourself or to take advantage
of the service of our cook or the health food store in Prien.
Große Stube
No television! / But books galoooooore.
Be happy! There is no television, no internet access, no telephone and no good mobile phone reception in berge!
But lots of time for you to read. In each apartment you will find a small, exquisite library. Besides, the "Literatenkammerl" offers ample room and reading material galore for all guests.
Isn't this exactly what you have longed for so long? Time at last to calm down.
You miss berge? / Take part of it home.
You can buy souvenirs at our berge shop, either as a present for some-
body or because they appeal to you so much that you want to have
them for yourself.
