AAA....Awesome Austrian Accomodations
Posted 30 Sep 2018 on HotelsOur rooms were beautiful and the surrounding area was lovely. We were on the go a lot and returned after stores closed for the evening. We asked if it was possible to purchase bread anywhere in the area and 10 minutes later we were given freshly baked rolls from the owner. There is a pantry available with delicious jellies, cheese etc...We all agreed that if we had known how awesome it was going to be, we would have stayed there longer!

Great for Families
Posted 24 Jun 2017 on HotelsGreat for a family with young kids. The hosting family is very open to sharing the farm experience with guests but not bothersome about it...and fresh milk!

Amazing stay in historic castle
Posted 4 Jul 2014 on HotelsWe spent 3 days at Schloss Saalhof in June. What an experience! I had researched it extensively on the internet so I knew somewhat what to expect, but my expectations were exceeded once we arrived. As the name implies, this is a real castle dating from the 17th century. It is also a working farm, which means they have fresh milk, preserves, meats and schnapps that they produce on-site. This makes for an amazing breakfast! The rooms were spacious and immaculate, the grounds were filled with plenty of activities for our 9-year-old (trampoline, swings, etc.), and the views of the surrounding mountains were incredible. It's located about 10 minutes from Zell am See, but the village of Maishofen is within walking distance and has everything you need (restaurants, grocery store, bakery). This is a great base for taking in everything the surrounding area has to offer, and the Riedler family will make you feel right at home. Highly recommended!

Castle Saalhof - a PERFECT place to stay
Posted 7 Jul 2011 on HotelsLike many other travellers, we found Castle Saalhof on the internet. Great luck!
We booked for 3 nights in late May, but ended up staying for 6.
Your hostess Kathrin is gracious and friendly,speaking German, English, French and Italian. She knows what to do and see in the local area and has brochures for many of the attractions.
The town of Zell am See (and associated lake) is less than 10 minutes away by car.
We were there for a hiking holiday, so the location was perfect. Close to the Schmittenhohe gondola, the Grossglockner High Alpine road, Krimml Falls, but a bit farther from the Zillertal Alps hikes (Schlegeisspicher reservoir).
The rooms were very modern, clean, and quiet. Ours had a small kitchenette, satellite TV and high speed internet. You can do laundry for 3Euros if you're on an extended trip with limited clothing. Fresh bread and eggs can be provided daily on request (it's on a working farm) for a minimal cost. Fresh milk always available, as well as a shot of homemade Schnapps on arrival!
Grocery store, ATM, restaurants within 5 minutes walking. There's even a restaurant across the road which has great salads and pizzas for a very reasonable cost.
Basically, you WILL NOT be dissapointed staying at the Castle. We highly recommend it! (for the sceptics: we do not work there nor are we getting paid to write this!) Book with confidence.

Amazing getaway
Posted 18 Mar 2010This wonderfully renovated castle made a perfect location for my ski trip. Kathrin was a wonderful hostess.
She collected me from the train station in the wee hours of the morning and helped with a loan of her laptop when mine was unable to connect to the internet.
It should be noted that because this is a castle, the thick walls do not permit WiFi. So be prepared to come with a USB Ethernet connector. Kathrin provides plenty of ethernet cables as required.

Spændende slots- og bondegårdsoplevelse
Posted 19 Jun 2019 on HotelsPå Schloss Saalhof får man kombineret slots- og bondegårdsferie. Selve slottet har dejlige store værelser og lejligheder og er smukt dekoreret på fællesområderne. Morgenmaden på Schloss Saalhof bliver serverer meget personlig, og man får i vid udstrækning selvproducerede produkter. Der findes i nærheden en udmærket restaurant lige på den anden side af hovedvejen, og der er også kort vej til Zell am See, hvor der er et større udvalg af restauranter. Der er mange muligheder for gode dagsudflugter fra Schloss Saalhof til F.eks. Grossglockner Hochalpstrasse, til adskillige kabelbanet op i bjergene og til et utal af vandreområder.
