Description
The Glass House (brick-built house in a greenhouse) is surrounded by an herb/flower garden with sitting/lying area, a swimming pool, an orchard with adjacent forest (200 m away). From the high-quality Bulthaup brand kitchen, one enters the open living and dining area and through the conservatories into the flower and herb garden. Two double bedrooms are crafted from solid wood by a carpenter. 2 showers with toilets (marble, granite) are available, one of which is separated from the bedroom (1st floor) by a folding screen. The numerous paintings by well-known artists offer creativity and inspiration. A sweeping staircase leads to the gallery, which offers a magnificent panoramic view of the diverse Franconian landscape. The glass house (132 m²) with its generous, comfortable amenities allows for an unparalleled living experience amidst nature. The automatically opening roof creates a pleasant indoor climate with a constant supply of fresh air. Over the seasons with varying light conditions, the bloom of exotic plants delights. The greenhouse was also featured in the magazines "Schöner Wohnen" 10/2004, "Die Zeit" 06/2006, and in "Zuhause Wohnen" 5/2015.

Great break in a beautiful holiday home
The holiday home is located idyllically and absolutely quietly in a beautiful, lovingly designed garden. The furnishings are very high quality and extensive. You have everything you need. The beds/mattresses are great (I have chronic back problems). A wonderful place to find peace and recharge.

Beautiful
A high-quality equipped house,
stylishly and lovingly furnished,
very friendly landlords and neighbors.
Cycling and hiking trails with many elevation meters or a small round start right at the front door.
Art and culture, silence and stars, picturesque places and magnificent castles, cities and good Franconian cuisine right next door = very relaxing and delicious.
Pilgrimage or meditation, unwinding and switching off, this is the best place for it.
This house is worth every euro!

A beautiful extraordinary holiday home
We had a wonderful quiet week just the two of us in this extraordinary holiday home.
Everything you need is there. We both occupied the bedrooms. That was no problem.
Beautiful dishes for a nicely set table.
The garden is dreamy. Unfortunately, we couldn't enjoy it, as the weather didn't cooperate. Around the corner, there is a very good restaurant for dining. Don't forget to make a reservation.
We felt very comfortable.

Stylish holiday home with huge garden
We had a wonderful week in the Glass House in Pettstadt. The house, which is probably unique in this way, is the ideal place for four adults as well as small children. The garden is fantastic, well-kept and incredibly spacious. The high-quality furnishings leave absolutely nothing to be desired.
recommend for: seniors, holiday with children, romantic holiday

Company Andres Ferienhaus - Glashaus
Mr. H. Andres
We have been renting out the Glass House for 14 years and are happy about guests who keep coming back. We warmly welcome new guests who want to discover something unusual and enjoy nature, peace and relaxation. The idea for the Glass House came from the desire to bring a lot of light and the varied natural play of the respective weather or season into the house.
