• Are there allergy-friendly rooms?

For guests with allergies, we offer the COCO-MAT Narkissos I pillow in addition to our COCO-MAT down pillow. This pillow is filled with 100% natural latex flakes derived from the milky sap of the rubber tree – a renewable natural material with exceptional elasticity and breathability. Thanks to its open-pore structure, natural latex provides significantly less favourable living conditions for house dust mites than many conventional filling materials, making it particularly well-suited for many dust allergy sufferers. At the same time, the material ensures optimal air circulation and a pleasantly dry sleeping climate, fully in line with COCO-MAT's natural sleep philosophy.

If you have a pet hair allergy, please let us know before your arrival. This allows us to do our best to assign you a room where no dog has previously stayed. On request, we can also clean your room on a daily basis – just let us know.
