Tassilo Villen

The Tassilo Villas reflect the qualities of Bad Hall; they are a town in miniature. Bad Hall stands for health, relaxation, and a vibrant center close to nature. Strollers, tourists on bicycles, and those enjoying themselves in a coffeehouse are ever-present here. And there is much history to experience. Even the Illyrians knew of the salt from the Sulzbach stream, whose healing properties later propelled Bad Hall to become a world-renowned spa resort with prominent guests. The atmosphere of this spa tradition is still palpable today. The Tassilo Villas capture the sophisticated flair of classicist villas, translating it into contemporary comfort.

Elements such as the color scheme and the delicate textures evoke associations with bygone splendor, as can be seen, for example, in the Villa Rabl, built in 1866 by Theophil von Hansen in the spa park. The Tassilo Villas are a bit of town and a bit of country. They celebrate both the interior and the exterior. They evoke the feeling of a vacation, yet also the comfort of home. They are a sanctuary to live in – in one of Austria's oldest spa towns, by the Tassilo Spring. Five villas offer apartments with spacious balconies surrounded by greenery, as the garden is designed as a private spa park, an oasis for relaxation. A blend of private green space and parkland is available for all residents to enjoy: gardening in raised beds, watching the children play in the playground while enjoying a coffee, relaxing in the spa, cooling off on the sunbathing lawn by the pool on a hot day, celebrating a birthday with friends in the parents' café, or simply grilling a steak at the barbecue area.

The entrances to the villas are generously sized and facilitate chance encounters and conversations with neighbors. Residents can have as much contact as they wish. Bicycle parking is conveniently located directly behind the translucent base wall along the street. The floors of the interior stairwells are illuminated by natural light via open spaces and lead to three to five entrances to the apartments, depending on the size of the building. The apartments feature spacious eat-in kitchens that extend onto loggias through floor-to-ceiling windows. Floor-to-ceiling French doors open every room to the balcony, reminiscent of the South of France.

In the larger apartments, children's rooms can be incorporated into the living space, allowing for flexibility to adapt to changing needs over time. The penthouses include roof terraces, combining a private garden with a view. Parquet floors and wooden planks on the balconies and terraces exude a warm, inviting fragrance. All apartments in each villa are oriented towards the sun and typically offer views in multiple directions. Wraparound balconies span the full width of the apartments, creating a seamless outdoor living space. It's like living on vacation.
