Freiberg

4 stars

If part of your holiday is all about that view you get from your room, then the Seevilla Freiberg will not disappoint. The lakeside location couldn’t get any better and all rooms face the lake – as do the dining rooms and the spa.The hotel is modern and stylish throughout - making the most of natural woods and marble, along with a fresh colour palette. But they haven’t forgotten their Austrian roots either, with lots of classic touches adding to the character of the building.The team at the Freiberg are a friendly lot. No request seems to be too much for them – their aim is for you to go home with a smile on your face and fond memories of your stay. The food is a tasty fusion of Mediterranean and Austrian fare – all carefully prepared and presented. And the breakfast spread will set you up perfectly for a day out on Schmittenhöhe or up on the Kitzsteinhorn.There’s a free shuttle service up to the CityXpress gondola, or it’s around a 10-minute walk in boots. And if you want to experience the culture of Zell am See then it’s just a few minutes along the lakeside promenade to the resort centre.
