On the edge of the quiet Eifel countryside, this restored 1960s railway carriage has been reimagined as a cosy, adults-only hideaway with a dash of railway nostalgia. The original carriage form is still clear in the narrow proportions, sliding doors and vintage detailing, but inside you’ll find a warm, wood-lined space designed for two.

There’s a compact kitchenette, a snug seating area and a comfortable sleeping nook, while outside, a private terrace with a hot tub overlooks the old tracks and surrounding greenery.
