“We loved our stay! My wife had dreamed of a Christmas in a wooden chalet in the mountains, with snow lying all around, sitting in front of a log fire. It ticked all the boxes in this respect, however we might have been lucky with the heavy snowfall one week earlier. The snow was melting throughout our stay. The host was helpful with pre-visit information, including directions, the need for tyre chains, the location of the local supermarket and its closing time on Christmas Eve. He was at the chalet when we arrived and made us feel welcome. The chalet is very comfortable, modern and well-maintained. We loved using the jacuzzi on Christmas Day, celebrating with champagne and Buck's Fizz. We roasted a chicken for our Christmas Day dinner. The log fire is modern, safe and easy to use. My wife especially appreciated it. The host kindly provided the supply of wood. If you overdo it, however, it can make the chalet too warm, which we quickly learned. We hadn't chosen Simonhoehe for its skiing, but we quickly found out that it is popular with families and ideal for beginners and so, on a beautifully clear Boxing Day, my 16-year-old daughter skied the nearby nursery slope while my wife and I enjoyed gluhwein and bratwurst at the kiosk/bar at the foot of the slopes. Rental of skiing kit at Sport-Payer was easy and reasonable and we bought the ski-lift pass online at the Simonhoehe web site. The views from the chalet are breath-taking, especially at dawn and dusk, south and east towards the Woerthersee valley (which was cloaked in fog for our entire stay, while we enjoyed the sunshine above) and Slovenia, which was our next stop.”
“The view is amazing, in a quiet location, quick to arrange, spacious room for two, well spoken English. All around good”
“The hotel is in the mountain, and has got very beautiful view from the rooms. The rooms were clean, but a little bit old fashioned furniture. The host, Olga was very kind and helpful.”
“Great mountain view.”
Ranked 1 out of 1 in the region, as well as being 2 of 6 for hotels in Sankt Urban.
