About the owner
We are Amanda and Julian and we have 2 children Harry and Isabel we live and work in London. We have owned our apartment in Austria for 2 years and now enjoy spending as much time as we can in Maria Alm all seasons still discovering so much of what this area has to offer. Maria Alm is a traditional Austrian village set amongst some of the most stunning scenery in Austria, the people are warm and welcoming and although a very popular ski destination the locals have worked very hard to preserve local customs and traditions which really makes it a very special place to visit. Restaurants/bars have remained inexpensive although all offering a fabulous range of excellent food. Please contact us if you have any questions about MA even if you are not choosing our apartment happy to help you.
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
Having Spent many years holidaying in Austria mainly Filtzmoo's, Alpbach and Kitzbuhel, we decided to buy a property, the big question however being where exactly? After several months of research and visiting numerous ski areas and properties we decided without hesitation on Maria Alm. We wanted a property that we would personally want to rent and return to, with the key factor being its location. Maria Alm is a beautiful village surrounded by stunning mountain scenery, views from our terrace/windows are amongst the best in the village. Located in the centre however, set back from the road leading into the village it is really quiet whilst only minutes away from all the amenities like supermarket, restaurants and most importantly ski lifts/cable car.
Unique benefits of the property
The apartment house is newly built however replacing an old building so it benefits from being in an enviable position. The apartment is shaped in an L shape so really has a very spacious feel to it even with larger groups, there is some privacy (particularly if there are 2 families/extended family sharing). The kitchen lounge area is all open plan which is really benefitial when holidaying with friends. The most amazing discovery for us has been the quiet slopes/lack of queues, compared to large resorts who have many more beds on offer. We now fully appreciate why families we have since met have returned to this area for many years (great snow records). Everything in the apartment is modern and new and so far feedback has been really positive, with many repeat guests this year.
