Post Honigwirt

Nestled in valley among forests and vineyards, this hotel is warm and friendly. The owners speak such excellent English as to make us feel humble about our high school German. On the hill behind the hotel is a well-lit castle. Many of them in the area Dinner of three-noodles and mushroom was splendid as was the creme-suppe of white goats beard, known in US as salsify. Reminiscent of parsnips.

We really enjoyed our stay in this family run hotel. Rooms on the courtyard side are spacious, quiet, with small balcony, however i can imagine that summers can be loud here because of the restaurant in the courtyard that was closed now. Room was clean, bed very comfortable and big (although it was not a double bed), very soft linens, the only thing i missed was another pillow. The one that i had was not enough. It was actually bit cold in the evening, so we opened the heating, and it worked perfectly, both in the bathroom and room. Bathroom is very basic, with the separate toilette room inside (which i found very practical), shower cabin is spacey and there is plenty of hot water. Although they did not change our towels next day, everything was cleaned and perfectly ok. (we did not put the towel’s on the floor, however in most of the hotels they do change them anyway). Hotel is perfectly situated for exploring the many hike (or better said walking) routes. 15 min up the hill, behind the hotel is ruin of an old castle, very nice views from the top. Walking & cycling routes are everywhere around the hotel. Breakfast was always good, solid range of cheese, some ham, perfectly boiled eggs, marmalade, oatmeal and good variety of breads. I also liked the coffee there. Dinner was amazing. Whatever we ate was delicious. Austrian food with a twist. Desserts were divine. I drowned myself in ice creams crunchy balls ( Eis - Knödel ) and because the ice cream was so good, i ordered some more ice cream. There is a good range of wine; however i suggest taking a bottle. The range is much larger than by glass. The small downside - I would of expected bit lower prices in the countryside, but i guess they can afford them because of the quality. Yes, you have a schnitzel for 10 eur, but if you take a steak, you pay between 20-30 eur, and the portions are max at 250-300g. That said, the family members working there are extremely nice, they are not the quickest, however, you will get everything you want and more. One goes there to relax, so there is no hurry in anything. I definitively think of revisiting the place in the future.
