wonderful stay with excellent service, delicious food, and friendly staff — truly a 10/10 experience

I booked Wind Castle for my father’s birthday celebration, and we had a wonderful stay. Everything was lovely, from the beautiful property and peaceful surroundings to the excellent service. The food was delicious, and all the staff were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They made our stay feel special.

Pros:

First off the castle is beautiful. We had the red room and it was like nothing else ive stayed in. The views are gorgeous you can see the town from below, and the room was very spacious and when travelling with four friends it was so refreshing to have a lot of space. The food there was excellent, after a long day of travel it is nice to come down those stairs and eat food at the castle, uou feel like a real princess! The food was yummy and they accommodated my lack of spice which was so nice. All of the workers are lovely and I would 100% stay here again, feels like little England and the price was a bargain!!

Kühles Plätzchen in den Bergen
Pros:

Exceptionally beautiful location; if the weather had been better, we would certainly have had a great view. The staff are very friendly and flexible; at our request, we were able to have breakfast outside. It has a certain style ;)
