Guest houses like this one I believe, are a rare find these days and when you do you almost don't want to tell anyone and keep it a secret BUT I have been asked to spread the word!!

I would just like to share my experience staying at this gorgeous guest house. The rooms are sumptuous and comfortable not what you would expect from a normal guest house.

My family and I stayed two nights in this lovely little pension and had a very good experience. The location was perfect - near the city center but not so much that it was noisy or busy. The rooms were pleasant, clean, and tastefully decorated, the beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and in working order. The price... More

The breakfast was great aswell. Boiled eggs... More

It is centrally located in Poertschach and it is what we wanted to have: a small guesthouse ran by a lovely family, making you feel at home. The first morning we had to wake up early because of the race and... More
