“My family and I have just come back from a wonderful trip to Austria (think Sound of the Music only by lake!). Lydia and Bernt went out of their way to make sure that we found the house easily and gave us huge tips on the sights to see. Lake Millstatersee is really beautiful and the area has something for everyone. My kids went horse back riding every day at Podessor (aged 6 and 8), swimming in the lake every day and cycling on several occasions. We were amazed at how reasonably priced everything was (you can rent an electric boat for 9 Euros and hour). If you are looking to get out of the city then we would highly recommend this area.”

About our home
Our house is situated in south of Austria (Europe). The border to Italy and to Slovenia is about 40 min by car, Salzburg (1,5 hrs.), Venice (3 hrs.), Vienna 4 hrs.
The house is located in a quiet and pleasant place 3 km above Millstätter See. There are just a few neighbours in our surrounding and our garden is a romantic place to relax, to get peace, well-being and inspiration.
We offer a newly renovated 3-room-garden-appartment for 2 up to 4 persons, (about 60 qm), including private bathroom, one bedroom, one living room with extra sofa-beds and fireplace and a dining-room with a little kitchenette. Everything is well equipped and furnished (wireless internet). From the diningroom and also from one bedroom you have direct access to a wonderful 50 qm-terrace and the idyllic garden-area for your private use.

Lydia's reviews
As a host (1)More about us
-
We are a couple, just retired, aged 60 and 66 with four adult children and two grandchildren. We love literature, films, theatre, music, fine arts. We enjoy gardening very much and also the hiking-, swimming- and skiing-areas in the countryside surrounding our home. In our holidays we like to stay in quiet and peaceful places where we can go swimming - we love romantic seasides - and also hiking or biking. We'd enjoy being near or in a small town as well, with sightseeing and cultural oportunities. We take care of our home and we love to share it with careful people. You can be sure that we take care of your home as well.
We'd like to go to any nice and warm (not too hot) lake- or seaside or country-area in Europe (Croatia, Greece, Italy, France, Spain, Norway, Island, Ireland, Turkey etc.).

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
You reach swimming-, skiing-, hiking-areas and all shops, medical services etc. round Millstättersee. You'll love the lake (13 km x 4 km) with it's clear drinking-water quality and water temperatures of 20 to 24 degrees Celsius in summertime (June - Sept.). Millstättersee is surrounded by alpine mountains of "National Park Hohe Tauern" and "Nockberge", which offer an amazing landscape. It's a touristic region in summer- and in wintertime, but not too crowded. As we like it more peaceful, our house is situated in a silent-area countryside region above the lake. Our next neighbourhood offers an 18-hole golf court, horse-riding, cross-country-skiing and also lots of plaesant hiking-areas. Anyway, you can choose sports, enjoy cultural events and sightseeing. In wintertime many ski areas can be reached in 15 - 40 min. Excursions to Millstatt with it's monastery, to the City of Fine Arts Gmünd, to Spittal/Drau or to Villach with cultural events, museums and sightseeing can be reached in just 15 -30 min. We also recommend excursions to Venice (3 hours), to Ljubljana - capital of Slovenia (1,5 hours), or to Salzburg (1,5 hours). Once a week our local agricultural market offers best biological products from the farmers arround, as well as you can get delicious and healthy food in high-class-restaurants nearby.
