Niesamowite miejsce.
Pros:

Obiekt robi niesamowite wrażenie. Znajduje się w prawdziwym zamku zaadaptowanym na hotel, są również udostępnione komnaty do zwiedzania. Pokoje królewskie, mega duże. Dużo przestrzeni. Śniadanie na zamkowym tarasie w ogrodzie. Cisza i spokój.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Genuine Hidden Gem
Pros:

Schloss Ernegg is a 1,000-year-old working castle that manages to feel like a home rather than a hotel. The owner Georgina is warm and hands-on, and her personal touch sets the tone throughout. Accommodation and food were both excellent.

The gardens and surrounding nature are beautifully tranquil, and the on-site golf course is a real highlight — challenging, scenic, with rivers running through and lovely mature trees. The golf restaurant offered great food at very reasonable prices.

If you’re looking for something genuinely different and peaceful, this is it.

Pros:

Ein echtes Schloss mit allem was dazugehört: Innenhof, Garten, Gewölbe, Holzböden.
Kein Fernseher!
Super-nette Gastgeberin.

Cons:

Ich habe die Nachricht zu den Ankunftsmodalitäten nicht wahrgenommen. (Ich weiß allerdings nicht woran's gelegen hat.)
Der Eierkocher beim Frühstück hätte besser sein können.

Eine absolut entspannende Location für einen kurzen Urlaub.
Pros:

Der Empfang ist sehr herzlich und die Gastfreundlichkeit besonders angenehm. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön eingerichtet mit authentischem Mobiliar und schönen Stoffen. Der Schlossgarten ist wunderschön und hat eine entspannende Atmosphäre. An der nahe gelegenen Erlauf kann man herrliche Spaziergänge und Wanderungen machen, besonders an der Erlaufschlucht ab Purgstall, nur ein paar Kilometer entfernt.
