It is owned by a very nice couple from Germany. I was there in the off-season and they made accommodations for me that were not typical for that time of year. The room was clean, and they offer breakfast. Nice place to stay in Pörtschach and very reasonably priced. The pricing in summer is a bit higher, of course, but given the location it's worth it.

Despite being the type to never stay in hotels and frequent B&B's and apartment rentals via Airbnb,…read morewe decided to stay here for a few days since it was the most central hotel we could find for the time period in Villach. I probably haven't been to a holiday inn since I was 12 so I was really curious to see how it was in Europe. The hotel itself is connected to a public underground parking which is very convinient. Parking is NOT free and costs 8.50 a night {special hotel rate} but they give you a special card that can allow you to come and go as you please which made up for some of the cost ;-). What I liked: Beautiful, modern and swanky, this is a nice hotel. It was just as nice and in the pictures and I loved the lobby, beautiful restaurant (though we didn't eat there), comfortable room and most of all the spa/fitness area. One of the best I have scene, they have every detail covered from updated gym equipment connected to the satellite TV, weights, YOGA and workout room, free tea and water, gym towels, robes, locker room with keys, sauna, turkish bath, relaxation area. I was very impressed. They do require nudity in the sauna/turkish bath but I still wore my bathing suit and just covered up with a towel. The receptionists were very friendly and helpful, I had them make several reservations for us which they did withotu problem and I was very happy with the housekeeping and details. This is a very great place to stay if you are looking to base from Villach for a few days. Wifi was free and was fast, which is great for someone like myself that needs to be connected. Also you needed a key card to use the elevator which was actually a good thing since the hotel/elevator is connected to the below public parking. What I didn't like. Not really anything having to do with the hotel itself which was marvelous. I don't usually stay at American-style hotel chains because they alla carte price everything so we skipped out on breakfast because it was 15/20 euros more per night {depending on the booking site}. We ended up going to various bars located near the hotel instead. Also parking costs were lower but still, it was extra. These two things are worth factoring in if you are on a budget like we are. Also for some reason the hotel's wifi didn't work well on our mobile devices. wifi was excellent but they give you a new code each day which can be kind of annoying if it runs out at midnight and you have to go to reception for a new code. Make sure to ask for one that supports being on multiple devices at the same time. All in all, I would say this is a great place to stay, really nice and very very central!

I heard of this restaurant from a German friend and wow, oh wow thanks to him, we had the best meal…read moreof our whole stay at this really pretty restaurant about 6-8 kilometers from Villach. Very typical looking from the outside, the interior was very warm and inviting with a perfect mix of modernity and classic austrian, I loved the art on the walls and the romantic lighting. Our server was super nice and was able to speak Italian which was great considering our German is NICHT. She was the best server we had in Villach, where many other restaurants were nice but not helpful with translation problems. The food, oh my the food is amazing. Really really good. If you are looking for a modern twist on classic Austrian dishes, you have found your place. The menu is small but thankfully so, as everything is presented well and is fresh, tasty and unique. My boyfriend has a garlic soup which came with a bacon roll garnish {amazing} and wasn't too heavy like we had the night before at a different restaurant. I had an apple curry soup which I am still craving today. We also had fried pork with a berry sauce (wow) and I had a very nice steak and potatoes. Portions are perfect, not too big which I actually appreciated since the food itself was perfect. We also ordered dessert - a heavenly chocolate cake with a beautiful cream and fresh fruits, all nicely presented. All for 25 euros a head (with wine & beer). you will have a great time, get treated like family and eat like a king, I want to go back there asap, what a find!!!!!!

If you prefer a more quiet scene go with the hotel that is NOT in front of the lake, but if you want to be able to walk right out of the hotel and step right into the lake then stay in the Klopeiner-See hotel. If you like Tennis especially this is the hotel for you. This area is a bit of a tourist trap, but as an American I am a tourist and I had a blast.
