The highlight for us was the sauna space and also that our small dog could stay with us. We also enjoyed that it was not a Hotel Business it was a holiday on a farm style easy and relaxed. I traveled with my parents in the 80s and they loved the atmosphere from the castle as well as the one from the farm side with fresh eggs and local food.

The thing that makes Saalhof Castle is the host. They want you to feel at home, slippers as you come up the stairs, a fridge full of their home made goods ( jam, cheese, schnappes, etc ) a guide with alot of information written in both English and German. We stayed for two nights while skiing off season in Kitzsteinhorn. It was an easy 25 min drive with plenty of parking when you reached Kitsteinhorn. Kathrin (the host) was really knowledgable about the area and was able to tell us when we arrived that the mountain had been closed the day before. The guide book had great tips like that the bakery was open on sunday. Although we enjoyed this place for the 2 nights it felt like we didnt have time to make the most of everything on offer (bbq, smoke house, seeing how the farm works, hikes on their lands) as well as all the stuff in the local area. It would be perfect for a family week or long weekend get away. The place as described in the pictures is rustic BUT there was a modern tv, wi fi really nice bathroom 2 new saunas and a relaxation room for afterwards. I would certainly recommend to any of our friends or family visiting the area.

We were only staying 2 nights ( and out of season November) we were looking to eat out. The closest place was a pizza place over the road. This suited us perfectly on the first night and we cooked on the second night in our kitchenette. If you like eating out all the time and not driving then it may not be the ideal location. However, a number of places were closed because it was between seasons. Again even at this time if year we had a choice of 3.

Great place with Superb surrounding, nice appartments and very well equiped. Super sauna, milk, home made products! Very kind owners! Thank you Katrin. We will come again!
