    Our experience here was truly enchanting, thanks to the thoughtful and inspiring hostess, Sarah. Little did we know we would be staying with a family immersed in the soul of music. Upon returning from our day’s adventures, we were treated to beautiful music her son would play in the evening as he practiced on one of the many pianos throughout the floor. And, in a heartwarming unexpected gesture, after a wonderful conversation about the family’s musical journey, Sarah gifted me a beginner piano book, revealing that it wasn't just any book but a piece of her family's musical legacy. It had played a role in introducing her sons to the world of piano. Our stay at Sarah’s was not only enriched by the musical legacy but also, by the charming details of the room. The spacious yet cozy ambiance provided a perfect retreat with a nice view of the river. The thoughtful touches, including freshly baked cookies, a Nespresso coffee machine, a fruit bowl and toiletries in the bathroom, added a delightful layer to our experience. To amplify these amenities, the room was equipped with a Bose system, creating an atmosphere that resonated with the musical theme of our hostess's family. The combination of comfort, thoughtful amenities, and attention to detail in the room complemented the overall warmth and hospitality of our stay. Sarah's dedication to creating a memorable experience made our time there truly exceptional. Thank you for the unforgettable experience, Sarah! You’ll be happy to know I started practicing my piano! 🤗

    This is a small property with 2 (maybe 3) rooms on the edge of the old city. The rooms are large and comfortable and have a wonderful view across the river. Breakfast is pleasant. Sarah is a great host and we enjoyed getting to know her. If you are looking for a very “local” type of stay this is it.

    Nothing. Overall great stay.

    Sarah was wonderful. She was attentive to every detail. Opened up her home to us. Made us a homemade strudel. Had champagne for us for New Year’s eve and we watched fireworks from our room window. Great location a couple blocks from Mozart Square. She went over the town map with us and made some great restaurant recommendations. This is a private home however we had privacy throughout our stay. Breakfast was fantastic.

    We absolutely loved our time at Sarah’s. The location is extremely walkable, the views are unbeatable, and the home is unique and stunning, featuring tall ceilings, a piano in every room, and beautiful furnishings. Sarah made us amazing breakfasts every morning with a huge assortment of fresh fruit, jams, hot baked croissants, toast, eggs, salmon, yoghurt, and so much more. She also presses fresh orange juice every morning and makes lovely coffee drinks. Sarah even brought us home confections from her day trip to Linz - it was so nice to be thought of on her afternoon away. Unrivaled kindness and hospitality! She also provided maps and a local’s advice on what to see and where to go. We were really able to maximize our time in Salzburg because of this. The bed and breakfast is located right off the walking/bike path that weaves through all of Salzburg. It’s also steps away from the older part of town with cathedrals, fountains, access to the fortress, and much more. We were able to walk everywhere very easily, and really enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Sarah!

    Our stay was pleasant, the place was like at home and the welcoming and professionalism of Sarah was exceptional. We enjoyed very much her way of doing things and she is really the soul of the place. Pianos, music, high ceiling, candles, dried flowers and the presence of the spirits of the past through the books and mirrors surrounding all over the place really made our stay. Our sleep was fantastic as well. Breakfast was perfect as well. We received lots of attention and care.

    Well, there was really very little to criticize. The kitchen for the facility is attached to the guest bathroom by a door, so noise was a little more than usual when the kitchen was being used, but it wasn't real early. You have to make sure the bathroom door is locked, or it's possible to just come into the guests bathroom from the kitchen, but this was not a big deal. Late sleepers may not be well suited to a B and B setting anyway.

    I overwhelmingly recommend this place. The facilities were just lovely. The innkeeper is delightfully accommodating and charming, and I don't say that often! She's wonderful! Room was clean and comfortable. Large bathroom in our room, Good water pressure in the shower. Very nice furnishings in the rooms, and I was happy to see a small refrigerator. They have wifi and apple TV. Lovely views out of the windows! Location is great right next to the river. The breakfast was just delicious and bountiful. You have muesli, yogurt, breads, fresh fruit, cheeses, meats, croissant, eggs, smoked salmon, fresh juice, coffees, teas, just perfect! No air conditioning, but it doesn't get real warm here and they have some Dyson fans which take care of that if it does. Parking is close by for about 20 euros a day, and there is an elevator so that's a plus for the luggage. The family are musicians and very talented. They serenaded us and it was beautiful! Didn't want to go out and see the sites the place was so nice to be inside! A very worthwhile experience - GO NOW before word gets out and you cannot get a reservation!
