Vienna Centre, Attractive, Spacious, Self-Catering Apartment
Historic Building, Romantic Leafy Biedermeier Cloister
Sleeps 3 (2 Bedrooms)
|
|
Welcoming apartment in the very heart of town, surrounded by three beautiful parks and walking distance or short chugging tram ride from all the main concert halls and theatres. To spend time here is to experience “Vienna” in a completely different, far less superficial way than from a hotel bedroom.Vienna offers every amenity possible. Given the central position of this property, these are all easily to hand - two huge parks, the Musikverein, the Konzerthaus, the main museums, including the stunning Art History and Natural History Museums, and sights are all within walking distance. The Belvedere and its incomparable collection of Klimt and Schiele is literally just opposite. Despite all this the house itself is very quiet and peaceful, well away from the noise generated by any capital. There is skating, swimming, excursions to Hungary (only one hour away-) and so much more to do, off the normal tourist run. Austria is not exclusively made up of ski slopes!

Owner profile
About the owner
We only administer our own family properties and try to keep the atmosphere as comfortable and personal as possible, leaving our own possessions, books pictures etc for guests to enjoy, but at the same time also providing ample, adequately equipped space for guests to live in, wardrobes, storage etc. Our tastes are simple: we do not attempt or pretend to run Grand Hotels with fitted carpets, Jamie Oliver kitchens, or power showers whence the water issues from gilded taps in the shape of swans.
Year purchased: 1993
