Very challenging to find a better place !
Commentaire: We were a French family of six, spending Christmas and New Year holidays. The house is very comfortable and quiet, the scenic view from the living room and terrace simply fantastic.
Everything was prepared in advance up to the last detail like Christmas tree and welcome gifts such as bottles of wine and the excellent Harry’s cake. We immediately felt very welcome and like at home. We also got very useful practical hints before coming, like shop locations and opening time. The Wilsons are the best remote hosts ever !
We had several hiking paths in the surroundings, discovering everyday more beautiful scenic views in the direct nearby hiking ways. We could also enjoy some close trips to touristic places like Klagenfurt, the viewing tower on Pyramidenkogel and Velden with its famous “Schloss am Wörthersee” (my favorite 80’s Austrian series ;-)
One of the highlights: on the evening of 24th of December, the neighbor farmer appeared in the house with his son and grandchildren, traditionally dressed, to bless the house with holy water and smoking encens. We were all totally unprepared and surprised, wondering for a few seconds what was going on there like in a dream. The next days, when we met the neighbors at the Jausenstation Stubinger; we got to learn that this is an Austrian tradition in the countryside. We enjoyed how friendly and pleasant they are, and also appreciated their live music performance at a special new year event.
Many thanks Kathy, Paul and Harry for the unforgettable time we had in your house !
