The Secret Studio, Outdoor Bath & Pizza Oven

The outdoor seating area was the highlight for us. Outdoor heating and the lighting made it enjoyable to sit outside at night and unwind after the day

Bathroom is on the smaller side and makes it harder to use if bigger built

Small hidden gem. Very well equipped and lovely outdoor space to relax in privacy.

The bathroom is very narrow, requires a bit of shuffling around to use. Road is quite noisy if you’re not used to hearing traffic

Die mit viel Liebe bereitgestellten Details. Ein kleine Idylle bei zentraler Lage. Die Außenbadewanne, die Hängematte, der Pizzaoffen, der Heizstrahler auf der Terrasse all diese Punkte machen den Aufenthalt zu einem wirklich speziellen Traumurlaub. Der Innenraum ist kompakt, aber mit Auge für die Details sehr toll ausgestattet.

I like the idea of this place, it's kind of cute. We didn't find enough time to try and make a pizza in the oven but I appreciate that all the utensils and some ingredients (along with flour and various spices) were provided. It also felt private with the trees around and foldable screens, even though there are other houses around.

Sadly i have some complaints. First of all, it was pretty dirty, especially in the kitchen area - utensils were not properly clean etc. It smells damp and moldy inside, especially in the bathroom. We ran the extraction fan constantly but it didn't do much. For my coffee I didn't even use the sugar provided in a jar because I believe there's mold formed under the lid. Pretty unhealthy conditions. The "living room" area is pretty pointless - so much place to sit on the "couches" and yet there's not even a small coffee table inside, so what do you do there just sit? Honestly I think replacing this whole area with a proper fixed bed would be better, then you could even hang a tv on the wall. Yeah the bed is not great, after you get over the novelty you realize it's pretty hard to level it properly and the matress is too soft/wobbly. The outside bath is yet another good idea that wasn't properly executed. I assume its role there is purery recreational, yet it's too small to fit 2 people inside (while it looks there's enough space to fit at least a bit longer one). And in general this place is pretty run down and needs some renovation, some stuff is just plain damaged - for example there's a coffee plunger, I used it once and realized it's leaking. After taking a closer look I saw the glass is chipped at the bottom. Oh and I have to emphasize that this place is REALLY tiny. Barely bigger than a campervan. It looks both bigger and overall much better in the photos than in real life. All in all, it wasn't horrible but in my opinion the rating here on booking is waaay overly optimistic.
