The Talgut team

People who make your time out shine in the background.

The senses cannot travel without people – this is especially true at Talgut. Behind the door of your lodge, on the paths through the natural garden, and at breakfast in the morning, a small, well-coordinated team is at work, preferring to quietly contribute rather than make a fuss.

Together for your time in the Allgäu

What unites Sabine, Antonia and the Talgut team is a philosophy and daily motivation:

Quality over quantity; it is the quiet, simple, yet meticulously thought-out experience for every individual guest.

Sabine Horlacher

Founder

Creating architectural masterpieces through passion

The hostess is responsible for creating an exceptional holiday feeling.

As the child of a hotelier family, Sabine Horlacher grew up surrounded by hospitality – with the desire to create places where people can truly arrive. From this upbringing, a large dose of courage and a willingness to take risks, and a deep love for Ofterschwang, Talgut was born: a workshop for holidaymakers, architecture, and human well-being.

Sabine embodies two seemingly contradictory sides: a love of freedom, a thirst for adventure, and a strong will on the one hand, and a sense of security and reliability for the people around her on the other. She rescues old houses, reimagines spaces, and, if necessary, even communicates with woodworms – the main thing is that, in the end, she creates masterpieces with soul.

With her inexhaustible creative drive, her joy in design and detail, and a keen eye for quality, she shapes every room, every lodge, and every crossroads in the 8,000 m² natural garden for a maximum of 20 guests. For Sabine, the Talgut is her personal masterpiece – and for the guests, a home away from home with plenty of space for their own stories.

Antonia Mercedes Horlacher

Visionary entrepreneur & hostess of the new generation

Antonia carries the Allgäu region in her heart and the Talgut estate in her life. After graduating from high school and completing a comprehensive training program in the hotel industry, including a stint at a leading five-star superior hotel, she consciously returned to her beloved home. Today, together with Sabine, she shapes the daily operations of the Talgut estate, handling everything from organization and guest services to the ongoing development of the property.

Antonia combines natural charm with entrepreneurial acumen. She embraces change – from pandemic-related challenges to new travel habits – to ensure the continued success of the Talgut estate.

With ease, clarity, and great empathy for people's needs, she creates wonderful moments every day and encourages them to continue exploring unconventional paths. She has so much heart that sometimes she doesn't know where to put it all first.

For Sabine, it is "the greatest happiness on earth" to have her daughter as a strong second hostess at her side – noticeable to the guests in a warm, uncomplicated and at the same time very professional atmosphere.
