This place had been on my bucket list for years. For one reason mainly. The connection to the Sound of Music. But don't let that deter you even if you never saw the movie! The setting just happens to be on the lake where a key scene in the movie was filmed. The Villa facing that lake is quite special. The hotel rooms in the adjacent building are simple and basic, but very clean and comfortable. If you're looking for a Four Seasons type experience, this is not it. But if you want to experience a feeling of the past and enjoy the seclusion and quiet setting on many acres, you will love it. Other reviews talk about the amazing breakfast which is served in an amazing room. That is in fact, worth the stay. The room is amazing. All of the rooms in the Villa are open to guests to walk through and the grounds are also only for guests to roam. I would go back again as not only was this a very enjoyable stay but Salzburg in general was fantastic. An absolutely charming town to visit during the Holiday season. Their Holiday Xmas Market was the most authentic feeling of all the markets I visited in December.
