Der Alpenblick

Overall, this is an excellent hotel. We stayed as a family for a week in January on a ski holiday , half board. Location - the hotel is situated above the town of St. Johann im Pongau and within walking distance of the ski lift in Alpendorf. It is a little isolated but in a stunning location. The walk down to the gondola each morning was nothing short of magical. We got a taxi back in the afternoon as we were tired after skiing . Food - we had half board and the food is really excellent . Breakfast is very nice and all produce seems of very good quality. They cooked porridge for me every morning at no extra charge . There were some lovely cereals , lots of bread and various egg types. My kids would have liked some bacon and some pastries but still managed to have a very filling and enjoyable meal every morning ! Dinner was a set meal with a choice of main course . The food at dinner was just delicious. It changed every evening and was tasty, creative and beautifully presented . One night we had roast chicken and I have never tasted any chicken so good. If you didn't like the set dessert you could have delicious ice cream. Staff - staff were hardworking and really friendly . We loved the fact that we were among all Austrian/ German people . It made it really authentic. The owner , Raimund, answered about 100 emails from me to prior to our visit and he is a very engaging and entertaining host ! We had good fun with him. Rooms - the hotel has just been renovated and it is very nice . Rooms are clean and spacious with a great minimalist look. Pool and spa - there is a gorgeous outdoor pool which we used every day ! Swimming in the pool with snow falling is just incredible and one of our pre requisites for our annual ski holiday . Der Alpenblick did not disappoint . Value - we paid just over 4000 for 7 of us ( adults and teens ) for a week half board and that total included our wine and soft drinks ( charged separately ). I have no idea why this hotel is not 4 star ! It is really fabulous in every way .

Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt im Alpenblick! Die Gastfreundschaft, die schönen Zimmer, die Ruhe und das leckere Essen, der kleine aber feine Wellnessbereich haben dazu beigetragen einen entspannten Urlaub zu verbringen. Ideal für Gäste, welche mal Abstand vom Alltag gewinnen möchten. Wir kommen wieder!

Ottimo hotel a conduzione famigliare, ristrutturato recentemente, Stanze ampie, ben attrezzate, luminose e pulite. Personale gentilissimo e accogliente. Cibo ottimo anche senza glutine. Bellissima piscina panoramica riscaldata. Ottimo punto di partenza per escursioni in montagna o per visitare città/paesi dell’Austria.
