Although sometimes referred to as a Bed & Breakfast, this is nothing like an English B&B. It’s more like a small hotel, with very clean hotel-style en-suite rooms and balconies.

Breakfasts are good, though obviously there are no evening meals. Although this was our seventh summer holiday in this area we have always gone half board, so we were concerned about eating out. In general we found prices to be similar to UK, with restaurant main courses from 10 euros, and pizzas for less. Alternatively, the food in the Tauern Spa restaurants is simple but tasty, with prices around 8-10 euros for a main course. OK for a few nights. And there is something very relaxing about eating your evening meal in your white bathrobe.

Which brings us to the Tauern Spa, a short walk away. The place is superb, and Pension St Georg customers get unlimited entry for free. And when we were there, St Georg were also offering vouchers against meals at the spa, so we were eating for next to nothing. All in all, an unbelievable deal.

The owner, Simone, speaks excellent English and runs the St Georg to very high standards. She was always willing to chat over breakfast or offer advice, especially when we heard we had some difficulties back home and needed help.

This was a very good week – and highly recommended even without the Tauern Spa. But especially so if the spa deals are still on.

My girlfriend and I stayed at St. Georg for 4 nights and we had a lovely time. The villa is at the begining of Kaprun, in a very quiet area, with a beautiful view of the Kitzsteinhorn glacier and the surrounding mountains. The rooms are spacious and have a quiet balcony with a mountain view. Breakfast was good and Simone, the owner, was around the place all the time, checking out how the guests were feeling, providing tips and useful information.
Finally, the villa offers, free of charge, the Kaprun Zell am See card, which is a steal, meaning we didn't have to pay a cent for everything we did in the area (cablecar to the summit of the Kitzshteinhorn, the Alpine reservoirs, a 45 min cruise on the Zell Lake, cablecar to the Schmitenhohe in Zell am See, access to the Sigmund Thun Klamm and free transportation by bus around Kaprun and Zell am See).
If we return to Kaprun, we'll certainly stay at St. Georg because we had a wonderful time there.

Self-booked weeks walking holiday. As for our skiing trip a warm welcome from Simone and her family. Comfortable room, excellent breakfast every morning. Simone on hand to provide all sorts of helpful information.
Make good use of the Spa cards and the Zell am See/ Kaprun travel cards.

We stayed at St Georg in July 2010 (2 weeks) and were so pleased with this choice! The view from our balcony was amazing, facing the mountains. Incredible to sit and watch thunder storms. Simone and Gerhard were very friendly and helpful, we could not have asked for more!

We hope to return one day, maybe in the winter season this time...
