5 of the Coolest Properties on @Roomorama.
[google1]
During our travels last fall, we had a chance to use Roomorama for the first time for some of our lodging. Prior to booking our short-term apartment rentals with them, Beth and I had only ever stayed in hotels, hostels and campgrounds; though, after getting a chance to live like a local in Istanbul, Prague, Venice and Paris with Roomorama, we were excited to add another lodging option to our repertoire.
Now that we’ve been home for a few months preparing for our next travels, I find myself scouring destinations on Roomorama.com looking for unique and good value properties. Here are five of the coolest places I’ve come across thus far.
Wine House in Graz, Austria
This internationally award winning house in the hamlet of Globeregg is adapted from a 200-year-old Kellerstöckl (wine press). The two story studio, which features a loft and a vaulted ceiling, has views the Alps and is near the wineries in Sausal.
Townhouse in Adelaide, Australia
Cave House in Koh Pangan, Thailand
An architectural wonder, this luxurious “cave” gets back to nature by combining granite, wood and earth into a three room, three level vacation rental with great natural light.
Loft in Madrid, Spain
This fully renovated architect’s loft sits on a quiet pedestrian street and features two balconies that overlook Plaza Mayor, Madrid’s most emblematic square.
Mountain Chalet in Zermatt, Switzerland
Chalet Heidi offers vacation goers the perfect blend of an old alpine chalet atmosphere with the cozy luxury of a modern apartment that sleeps up to six people.

@John, Thanks John, me too! We stayed in a couple of caves in Turkey and really enjoyed it, so I’d love to be able to add this cave to our list. 🙂

Wow all the pictures are beautiful and relaxing! But what I love most is the Cave house, its unique and I think I can feel a fresh air in that house, am I right? Hope I can visit that place.

@San Diego Chiropractic, I think you are right! But to know for sure about the breeze, I think I need to spend a few nights or a week in it to fully test it out. 🙂

Awesome pictures, Cave is the best to live in, the interior is luxurious and very well designed. Wine house is also wonderful the structure is unique and definitely interior would be awesome. I’m curious to spend some days in this house, thanks for sharing.

I love these, makes me wonder what else is out there that are just as unique. Why do so many houses, hotels and guest houses have such crappy design when other places are so thoughtfully created?! I hate staying in ugly places, but we do a lot of home exchanging and you get some real gems there too.
