Less. More conscious. Finer.
This is what boutique living means at the Arlberg.
No program. No concept. Just a house that feels right from the moment you walk in.
That is the feeling we mean. That is afoch fei.
Boutique living.
What is it all about?
Boutique living is not a marketing term for us. It is a mindset. It means: less, but better. Fewer rooms – but each with its own personality. Less anonymity – but genuine connection. Less noise – but more silence.
Not a large hotel with a reception desk and room numbers. But a small, personally managed country house – where you immediately feel: this is the right place for me.
What we stand for.
afoch fei is not a product. It is a conviction. We believe that a true vacation needs space. Space to breathe. To pause. To arrive.
We believe that hospitality must come from the heart – not from a manual. We believe that quality does not need to be loud. A soft bed. Fresh spring water. A freshly baked morning pastry. These are the things that count.
And we believe that nature is not just a backdrop – but the very reason you come here.
Our values
What do we value most?
Connection to Nature
The Arlberg is not just a backdrop. It is a living space. We respect it, protect it – and share it with you.
Authenticity
No facade. No empty phrases. What you see is what you get – an honest, warm-hearted house with character.
Personality
Eva-Maria is not just "the host." She is the heart of the house. Every encounter is genuine. Every conversation is sincere.
Consciousness
We think before we decide. Regional products. Natural materials. Sustainability – not as a trend, but as a mindset.
Silence
In a noisy world, silence is a gift. We protect it. In the house. In our location. In the rhythm of the day.
Mindfulness
For us, mindfulness is not just a service – it is a way of life. A moment of silence before the day begins. A deep breath at the summit.
A house with a soul.
A host with heart.
Eva-Maria didn't just open the afoch fei. She brought it to life. With a love for the mountains. With respect for nature. With the desire to give guests a place where they can truly arrive.
She welcomes you personally. She knows the most beautiful corners of the region. And she always has time for a real conversation. That is not service. That is hospitality.

Philosophy
Frequently asked, honestly answered.
For us, boutique living means: less, but better. A small, personally managed country house with real character, natural materials, and genuine hospitality – instead of an anonymous hotel operation.
The combination of a quiet location, personal management by Eva-Maria, thoughtfully designed rooms, and a genuine connection to the nature of the Arlberg. You will feel welcome here immediately – not like a guest, but like you are at home.
No – and that is intentional. The afoch fei is a boutique country house. Personally managed, small, refined, and intentional. Not an anonymous hotel operation, but genuine hospitality with a philosophy.
For authenticity, a connection to nature, tranquility, and personal hospitality. We are a member of the Quality Hosts Arlberg – a community of establishments committed to sustainable and future-oriented tourism.
