Peter from Germany
August 2018
A very warm welcome from XXX and XXX, who then also instructed us in the conditions of the apartment and the house. The landlords were always available for us and proved to be very hospitable and accommodating. We (3 grown-up children and the parents) felt very comfortable in the apartment on the top floor (2nd floor) with a balcony. Even if we didn't use the beautiful garden with a meadow and seating very little, we were able to enjoy the splashing of the fish pond in the living room of our apartment in the morning with the window open. Since 1 window in each room is equipped with mosquito nets, the apartment and the bedrooms can also be ventilated "safely" in the evenings and at night. The very well equipped apartment has practically everything you need. Two of the 3 bedrooms are spacious with large wardrobes. The 3rd bedroom for the 5th person is rather small, without a wardrobe (but with a small desk) and unfortunately located right next to the toilet, which is ventilated by a fan. Rather unfavorable for noise-sensitive people. It didn't bother our daughter (18 years old) though, there was enough space for her clothes in one of the "big" bedrooms and she was happy with her room. Due to the relative central location of the apartment, we were able to make extensive use of the many opportunities in Carinthia (such as mountain hiking including gondola rides, summer tobogganing, swimming, etc.) (in this regard, the purchase of the KärntenCard (mainly for gondola rides) was worthwhile for us). The nearby Hörzendorfer See (15 minutes by car) also invites you to swim with a shallow entrance and is comparatively inexpensive and less frequented (compared to the larger lidos). Many larger bathing lakes or better equipped beach resorts can be reached in a maximum of 30 to 45 minutes by car. If there are 5 or 4 of us again on our next holiday in Carinthia, the XXX Messner will be our favorite.
