Zu Appesbach is an outstanding inn and we highly recommend it for a family or couples vacation. My family and I immensely enjoyed our four days there. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed. The food and beverage quality and service is of the highest level. Horst, Zeljko and Orhan provide noteworthy care in the dining room. The spa is also great. The saunas, rest area and massage service are super. Finally, the hotel’s setting on Wolfgang See is wonderful. We’ll definitely be back.

The Landhaus zu Appesbach truly is a hidden jewel in Austria‘s Salzkammergut. The Duke of Windsor once stayed here for 5 weeks and found his ,,splendid isolation“. During our stay we stayed in the Windsor Suite offering ample of space with a combined living and sleeping room, a cabinet, a Roman bath & balcony as well as a terrace. All rooms and suites are individually designed with attention to detail. The country house’s restaurant offered an eccellent breakfast & dinner. The ladies and gentlemen in all departments did a good job in providing a personalized service. Overall an excellent experience.

My husband and I were on a 9 day road trip through Austria and intentionally left a night open to stop spontaneously. We were very pleased a room was available at this property, and were actually given an upgrade to a suit. We had a very lovely afternoon by the water watching the sunset, followed by dinner in the dining room. Dinner was the one low point I will say. The food was unmemorable and overpriced. Service however was good. Our room was lovely, although the bath furnishings could use upgrading. The view from the balcony was spectacular. Breakfast in the morning was fine, albeit a bit limited. We learned after the fact that hot food options were available upon request, wish that had been made clear. There was a misunderstanding/issue re our room rate upon check out, but it was rectified, no harm done. All is all this is a beautiful property with spectacular natural surroundings. Service good for the most part, opportunity for improvement with some room updates. Dinner overpriced for what it is.

This place was a real mixed bag for us, weighing more on the negative overall due to the service... It started off really well with very nice service from the reception team, especially Susen, which helped us book a 5 night stay for 2 rooms which was quite difficult given the place was already very busy. The exchange with Susen and the welcome from her and birthday cake for my mom (luckily she was on site as we arrived) was very kind and we expected a lot from the service here! However it ended pretty much with her unfortunately, and the service got progressively worse up to pretty much purely rude like the 'Hausmeister' who didn't want to let us into the grounds due to full parking until we mentioned we stay the night, then questioned us where we are from as we 'don't look Austrian' with a very arrogant tone, to not parking our car although he said he would (we had to go move it as he left it in front of the hotel). The same guy ignored us the second day when we asked for help with a broken umbrella in the garden saying it was 'normal' and in the end the restaurant manager ended up helping us seeing we struggled....absolutely despicable attitude, I have no clue how a place like this employ such staff!! To top off our arrival day experience we were kept awake until late hours by a wedding party which was happening on the grounds, and which we were not informed of. One of our rooms was above the restaurant, although we specifically asked for quiet rooms. As I mentioned this to reception the second day they said it was an exception and that normally they exclusively rent the place for events - so unlucky us I guess?! Well it wasn't over yet as the wedding party did not leave but hanged around at the lake until 18:00 and took over most of the garden beds and made lots of noise, heavy smokers, barking dogs, so basically that's the first 2 days gone of anything close to a relaxing stay.... In general the staff is pretty disorganized, we got wrong orders at the restaurant and weird attitudes. Everyone seems to be mainly concerned about regulars who come here from the area or externals guests for breakfast and dinner. They get the best tables and the service, and the rest of the hotel guests come second or even third. Another funny thing was that the pool bar manager was keeping the front beds to the lake busy for the whole day for what looked to be his girlfriend who was appearing around 2pm for a swim and a SUP trip, changing and then leaving again... Another devil which lies in the detail of this place is just the extreme to which they charge everything. At this level you expect to at least have complimentary water and water sport gear - forget it, everything is charged even the old SUPs they have (15eur/h) and you even pay coperto for dinner as a hotel guest - CRAZY! I asked for extra toast for my tartar and was charged 3eur for 3 slices of toast...must be tough times but still so very embarrassing... oh I forget the tennis court is free, but so bad you can barely play... We were also not asked once while there how our stay was, no one acknowledged us, no one introduced themselves, some of the staff can't even be bothered to say hello. If you get this service when spending 5 nights then I have little hope... On a positive note, if you are lucky to have good quality guests which respect others and have little interaction with some of the rude staff, I must say that the garden and lake access is great - probably the best you can find in the area. So that really made up for all the rest. The breakfast is also very good. The restaurant is ok but far overpriced for some of the dishes and the service not great. If you look for fine dining you are in better luck at the SeeVilla in St Wolfgang with outstanding service! Overall, it was a nice break for our family but not a place I would return to after the experience...shame, the place could be a gem but unfortunately it is the people who make a place great at the end of the day!
