Neighbourhood
Werfenweng is a family resort located at an altitude of 902m, only 45 km from the Mozart city of Salzburg.
Our house is located in a quiet location about 1 km or 15 min walk from the centre of the village, where restaurants and a small grocery store can be found.
In winter Werfenweng offers a total of 27 km of family-friendly slopes for skiing and snowboarding, 6 km for tobogganing and a freestyle park. Away from the ski slopes, there is cross country skiing and snowshoeing. In summer, the village is a fantastic starting point for alpine hut tours and hiking. The adventure park right in the centre of Werfenweng offers a forest rope course with Flying X area, a 400-metre-long Zipwire, a mountain cart experience for children. Werfenweng is also one of the main centres for paragliding in Austria.
We loved staying with Dorina and Eddy in Werfenweng!
They are amazing kind people and were great hosts!
They made us feel comfortable straight away!
The house is in a beautiful sunny spot with amazing views, and the village centre is a short walk away.
We did a couple of days alpine skiing and a couple of days cross country skiing, and loved it!
It is also great for sightseeing as Salzburg is a short train journey away!
Dorina & Eddie were great guests. Good communication with them thought out their stay. Upon leaving our apartment they washed the sheets and towels and had the apartment ready for our next guests. We would not hesitate to have them come and stay again. Hope your time in Porto was memorable.
We had the pleasure to meet Dorina and Edward and look forward to meet them again in Austria next year. The exchange Was perfect and they took good care of the flat. Come back any time!
Dorina and her husband were great guests! They were easy going and it was a pleasure to host them.
We had a great time in Porto, amazing city!
Lynda and Robb's apartment was clean, comfortable and very tidy. It's small but functional and perfect for two people. We didn't cook but the kitchen was well equipped if wanting to make any meals. The apartment has a parking spot which was great as parking is difficult in Porto. We walked everywhere but there was a bus stop nearby the apartment building.
Thank you for our stay. Look forward to meeting you in Austria.
We had a fantastic time in Lagos. Nadine was a wonderful host, very helpful, sending lots of information to help us find the apartment very late at night after we were delayed because of flight and car hire problems. She was so kind and left a few breakfast items in the fridge for us for next day and a welcome gift.
The apartment was as in the pictures, bright, clean and comfortable, within a few minutes walk to a supermarket and to Lagos Marina. We had a very pleasant evening with Nadine and her husband, amazing hospitality, great food.
Thank you very much, Nadine! We look forward to seeing you in Austria.
We were delighted to meet you Dorina. See you soon!
We had a very pleasant stay in Sarah's apartment. Amazing view of Lake Garda from the balcony, perfect set up for having breakfast in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. The apartment was comfortable, well equipped, located in an old village in the hills overlooking Lake Garda, convenient location for reaching the beautiful towns on either the South or the North side of the lake. Sarah provided lots of information on the surrounding area and was very helpful if we needed anything. We had a great time, we only wish we stayed longer. Thank you, Sarah!
We really enjoyed Alison and Jerome's visit. Lovely couple, we had a great time.
