We were greeted by Lorenzo on arrival to Hallstatt and guided up to this stunning property. Lorenzo took the time to show us around and educate us on the history of his home. He was so pleasant and warm, and it made us feel right at home. The property itself is magnificent. The photos simply don't do it justice. It truly feels like living history. The bathroom is so beautiful, and the beds were some of the comfiest I have slept in whilst being in Europe! The French linen made us want to buy some to take home to Australia! The location was in the centre of the town, close to everything, yet very quiet. We were lucky enough to see some snow before we left, which made Hallstatt look even more magical. We felt very lucky to experience Hallstatt and retire to such a beautiful home each night.

Check-in time could have been a bit earlier and check-out a bit later.

The apartment was really classy, clean & comfortable. Lorenzo (owner) was really friendly and let us knew the history of the apartment/mill/salt mine which is right in the city square.

The only issue we ran into had nothing to do with Living History. We were in Hallstatt at the end of November which is off season. The town felt deserted. All the shops and museums were closed, and there were very few places open to find food. We ate dinner at a hotel across the square from the apartment, but, when we tried to find breakfast the next morning, every restaurant, including the one in the hotel, was closed. Since we had taken the ferry to Hallstatt, we felt a bit stuck without food. Thankfully, a kabob truck was open by the dock, and we were able to get something to eat. If you visit during off season, understand that, apart from looking at the breathtaking views, there won't be much to do, and you may want to bring some food along.

Living History isn't just a place to stay. It's an experience. How many people can say they've stayed in a medieval mill with an entrance to an ancient salt mine in their bathroom? Everything about this place is magical, and every detail is steeped in history. Even the key to the front door is from the 16th century. The location can't be beat as the apartment is just off the town square where the ferry docks. Lorenzo is such a kind host. He met us in the square and gave us a wonderful tour of the apartment, sharing tidbits and stories about the history behind its walls. The floors in the apartment are heated, as well, which was greatly appreciated during our winter stay. If you're in Hallstatt for a night, don't miss out on this unique adventure!

It could use a fan.

We loved the location and especially all the historic components of this amazing place! We especially loved the back garden and the views where we enjoyed coffee in the mornings.

The house is a *little* warm in late September when we stayed (but the air right outside the house was delightfully cool due to the water running down from the mountain). Bring your own breakfast. The cafes are closed in the morning. I tried to buy breakfast at local hotels but was turned away. The town is overrun by *day-time* tourists. (I now understand the recent protests against tourists by local residents.)

The house is historic. The natural stone wall of the bathroom is truly unique. The hotel is located extremely close to the main square, so everything is within a walkable distance (including the nice restaurant that was recommended by the host).

Nothing!! Everything was wonderful. From the bathrobes to the warm welcome to the fascinating history, and the modern updates. it was a stay my husband and I will never forget!

The property truly is a magical place where you can feel the history everywhere, the floors, the mountain walls the apartment was built into. It’s a stay that will have you appreciating all the history there is to offer. I have travelled all over the world for the last 20 years and this stay was the most memorable of all my stays around the world. The location is perfect. Just a few steps from the centre of the village. Our host Lea was warm and welcome. I couldn’t help but hug her for the kind welcome and tour of the apartment. Our Apartment had a little garden where you can live scape the crowds over a glass of wine or a cup of coffee. I would recommend the stay to anyone who wants to experience the history of Halstatt.

Would've loved to be able to pick up the keys at around 1 and not around 4 we spent some good money to be here and would have loved to enjoy it a bit more.

Absolutely nothing!

A very unique, stunning little property so tastefully decorated. So convenient and yet so quiet. Absolutely beautiful. The owners' daughter also assisted us in booking a beautiful venue for a very romantic, delicious meal to celebrate our special anniversary.

Great stay, comfortable like home. Great location, beautiful and delightful.

If there is one more rubbish bin in living room, it would be perfect.

Best interior room design I have ever live. The room looks exactly like the photo. And it just 10 sec walk from Hallstatt square but also will not disturb by the noise of crowds in there. The host is very helpful to help in all time.

it’s not that I didn’t like it maybe something that could improve is having a mini fridge

Location, very friendly hostess

I think the addition of a small fridge would be ideal.

Unique property in a 2000 year old water mill. Excellent renovation that keeps the history alive.

Lack of kitchen but totally normal considsring this is a.historic property.

The apartment is very unique, cozy, full of history and with surprising elements like the bathroom. Lorenzo, the owner, welcomed us and showed us around this magnificent property and told us all its story. Also provided amazing tips about restaurants, hikes and places to visit around. Bed was very comfortable. We definitely recommend it.

I genuinely have no complaints!

check in is at 4pm which is a little late and checkin is 10am, a little early.

very unique place with all the needed amenities, close to the city center.

Stayed in December 2022

every aspect was carefully thought of and was designed with great taste.

The welcome from Lorenzo and the history of the building. Close to market place. The furnishings and the art.

Stayed in December 2022

The pillows are a bit soft for my liking but it’s just personal preference.

Lorenzo kindly came to the property and briefed us about the property and the surrounding area. It was super helpful as we would not have known how to operate the door! The property is beautiful and situated right in the main plaza. It comes with rich history and it’s super cool to stay in such an old (but well renovated and preserved) building. Decor is tasteful and we absolutely loved the bathroom!

Stayed in December 2022

One of the best places I have ever stayed at on vacation! Lorenzo was very helpful and the room was immaculate.

Stayed in November 2022

We liked pretty much everything. But if this apartment would have a mini fridge it would be very convenient:) However, there is only one grocery store in the town (and not the best one), and the restaurant across the main square is overpriced and served average food. Almost everything is not open till 11, so it's gonna be slightly difficult to find a decent breakfast in Hallstatt. The town itself is beautiful, but, unfortunately, overcrowded with tourists, so the best time for sightseeing is early morning or evening hours.

The place is incredible! Real museum. We spent our honeymoon there, and really recommend this apartment!
