Live like in the past – with everything that matters today Welcome to Bötersheim – a small village in the middle of the forest, where time passes a little slower. The holiday apartment occupies the lower floor of a house built in 1905 and combines the charm of bygone times with thoughtful comfort. The heart of the apartment is the cozy kitchen-living room with its wood stove – it not only heats but also invites you to cook. An oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, toaster, and kettle are available, allowing you to be completely self-sufficient. You will find a quiet bedroom in the conservatory (bed: 140 x 200 cm). Another room combines a dining area, a small library, and a play area – ideal for families or anyone who appreciates variety. The apartment has been personally furnished by designer and hostess Petra Schmalz with love for detail – handpicked accessories and a unique interior create an atmosphere that is hard to find elsewhere. Two separate entrances (one with 1 step, one with 3 steps) guarantee privacy and independence. Petra Schmalz is a designer and blacksmith. Her forge is located directly in front of the house (across the street), and her shop with handcrafted unique metal pieces, art, and utility items for indoors and outdoors is a real experience for guests. Petra has personally furnished the holiday apartment – every detail is deliberately chosen, and every piece of furniture tells a story. Petra is uncomplicated and warm-hearted – she is happy to help with questions, recommendations, or a short chat. Pets and inquiries in advance can be easily arranged. Bötersheim is a small village like few others: surrounded by forest, nestled in the landscape and nature reserve Estetal. Right in the village stands a 1,000-year-old oak tree, and a natural spring emerges in the nearby forest – and those seeking tranquility will find it here immediately. The Estetal invites you to extensive hikes, and the location between Nordheide and the Old Country offers a variety of excursion destinations. For those who appreciate regional delights: A Demeter farm with a farm shop is only five kilometers away. And for those who enjoy urban life: The connections are good. Hamburg is easily accessible via the A1 and A7, and the HVV train station Tostedt is also nearby. The best of both worlds: pure nature and the city at your fingertips.
