Gasthof Hotel Doktorwirt
Staying at Gasthof Hotel Doktorwirt was a delightful experience from start to finish. The warm welcome from the staff set the tone for a comfortable and memorable visit. Our room was cozy and well-appointed, featuring a great shower and a private balcony overlooking lush gardens and a peaceful outdoor pool—though we were unlucky with the weather, as it rained heavily throughout our stay, so we couldn’t make full use of the balcony. That said, I’m sure it would be a real highlight on a sunny day. Breakfast was excellent—fresh, hearty, and perfectly balanced. The hotel’s location is ideal for getting into Salzburg by bus, just a short ride away. There’s a small bar on-site, though no dinner service in the evenings. However, there are several restaurants within walking distance, and we tried one nearby (just a 5-minute walk) that served authentic local cuisine—absolutely delicious, though I can’t recall the name now. One thing to note: many places in Salzburg, including this one, operate on cash-only basis, which was common during our trip through the region, including Berchtesgaden. Overall, this place offers a genuine, homely feel with excellent value. If we ever return to Salzburg, we’d definitely choose to stay here again.

Villa Trapp
If you're a fan of The Sound of Music like me, visiting Villa Trapp is an absolute must. While the house doesn’t look exactly like the movie version, that’s actually part of its charm—it’s real history, not a set. Walking through the rooms, learning about the von Trapp family’s incredible escape story (yes, they took a train!) gives such a personal and emotional connection to the legacy. The villa itself has a classic European elegance with cozy, well-preserved interiors that feel both timeless and warm. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but honestly, for one night, it’s totally worth it.
