Unbelievable Mittersill Holiday Home: Kitzbühel Luxury Awaits!
Kitzbühel's Royal Flush? A Deep Dive into Unbelievable Mittersill Holiday Home: Kitzbühel Luxury Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, because I just got back from a little slice of heaven… or at least, almost heaven, at the Unbelievable Mittersill Holiday Home in Kitzbühel. "Unbelievable," they call it? Well, let's untangle that marketing hyperbole and see what’s actually unbelievable, shall we? Strap in, this is gonna be a messy one – just like a real holiday!
First Impressions & Accessibility (or Lack Thereof…)
Right off the bat, let's talk about entry. I’m a pretty mobile human, but I was keeping an eye on accessibility, because you know, everyone deserves a holiday. And… things aren’t quite built for everyone. The "Facilities for disabled guests" are listed, but the overall impression is… hmmm, could do better. I didn’t see a ton of wheelchair-friendly features immediately obvious. And if you're relying on it, be sure to check the details prior to booking. Remember to confirm your specific needs with the hotel beforehand.
The Room: My Fortress of Comfort (Mostly)
Alright, the room! Here's where things get more… unbelievable in a good way. I was in a non-smoking room (thank heavens!), and it was spacious – boasting a massive extra-long bed. Seriously, I could practically do cartwheels on that thing. The "Complimentary tea" and coffee maker were clutch. Gotta have my caffeine fix, especially after navigating the, uh, slightly less-than-perfect parking situation.
There was a whole bunch of stuff in there, like a mini-bar (always a guilty pleasure), a well-stocked bathroom with a separate shower and a bathtub (yes, two! Luxury!), and even a scale. Now, I'm not saying I used it every day, but… it's there, folks! They really think of everything, from the "Bathtub," the "Hair dryer," the "Bathrobes", the "Slippers," the "Mirror," the "Toiletries," the "Towels," and, phew, the "Air conditioning." All the good stuff to allow you to live in pure bliss during your stay.
The "Internet access – wireless" was solid. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! - a total win. I also used the "Internet access – LAN" (remember those?!). I did some work (shhh, don't tell anyone), and having both options was a bonus. A "Laptop workspace," yay! Because, you know, work. I loved them all.
Food, Glorious Food (and Sometimes, the Lack Thereof…)
Okay, let's talk food. This is where things get a little… complicated. The "Breakfast [buffet]" was a massive spread. Seriously, everything you could want. But honestly, I'm not always a morning person, and sometimes the "Breakfast in room" seemed like the better option. There was "Breakfast takeaway service" available, which was perfect for those grab-and-go kinda mornings. I, on the other hand, am not a grab-and-go type of person. I want the whole shebang! However, my experience was not perfect there. I was quite happy with the options, and the "Western breakfast" was a nice touch.
So, the "Restaurants." I'm a fan. There's an "A la carte in restaurant," which is essential in my books. I spent quite a bit of time at the "Bar." You know, for research purposes. The "Poolside bar" was also excellent, especially with that "Pool with view" - a truly unbelievable feature. "Asian cuisine in restaurant," and "International cuisine in restaurant," both were really good.
But there were some hiccups. One night, service in the main restaurant was painfully slow. We're talking glacial pace. I was starting to think they were growing the ingredients in the back. I even asked for a "Bottle of water," and it took a while. So yeah, food was a mixed bag.
Relaxation & Leisure: A Playground for the Senses (Mostly)
This is where Unbelievable Mittersill really shines. The "Spa" facilities are awesome. Especially that "Sauna" and "Steamroom!" I spent a happy hour there, sweating out the stresses of… gestures vaguely at everything. The "Swimming pool [outdoor]" was beautiful, and that "Pool with view" was seriously stunning.
And remember that "Body scrub" and "Body wrap". Ah, the "Massage" was divine. Like, proper melt-into-the-table levels of relaxation. Highly recommend. The "Fitness center" was also pretty well-equipped, although I spent more time relaxing than working out, if I'm honest.
Cleanliness & Safety: Holding Their Own (Thank Goodness)
In these weird times, cleanliness is king. And the hotel seemed to be taking things seriously. They had "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Daily disinfection in common areas," "Hot water linen and laundry washing," and "Rooms sanitized between stays." I felt safe and secure, which is a huge relief. There was also a "Doctor/nurse on call," which is reassuring, and lots of "Hand sanitizer."
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things (and Some Big Ones)
The hotel offers a ton of services. "Concierge" was amazing. "Cash withdrawal," "Currency exchange," "Daily housekeeping," "Dry cleaning," "Laundry service," "Luggage storage," and "Safety deposit boxes," all of these were available. There was also a "Gift/souvenir shop" – perfect for picking up a last-minute present (or a treat for yourself!).
Okay, the "Airport transfer" and "Valet parking" were a lifesaver. Because driving in the Alps? Nerve-wracking! There's a "Car park [free of charge]" and also "Car park [on-site]," which is handy.
The Quirks and Imperfections That Make It… Human
Here's where things get real:
- The Elevator Quirks: The elevator could be slow. Really slow. Embrace the stairs. It's good for you!
- The Temperature Tango: The temperature in my room was a bit… unpredictable. Sometimes roasting, sometimes chilly. I found myself constantly fiddling with the thermostat.
- The Signage: The signage could be better. I wandered around lost a few times.
Worth the Hype? The Verdict
So, is the Unbelievable Mittersill Holiday Home truly "unbelievable"? Not entirely. But, it’s definitely a fantastic place to stay. The location is great, the spa is phenomenal, and the rooms are comfortable. The staff are lovely, the food is decent with some moments of brilliance, and the safety measures are reassuring.

Escape to Paradise: Beachfront Bliss in Vlissingen! (Luxury Lodge, 2 Baths)
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's perfectly-formatted travel itinerary. We're diving headfirst into a chaotic, glorious mess of a holiday in Mittersill, Austria, where the only thing guaranteed is that things won't go exactly as planned. Prepare for the emotional rollercoaster!
THE MITTERSILL MADNESS: A "Relaxing" Getaway (aka, "Surviving Austria One Schnitzel at a Time")
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Apartment Debacle
- Morning (approx. 6:00 AM): Alarm screams. Me, bleary-eyed, somehow manages to get to the airport. Flight gets delayed, and I'm already grumbling. I swear, travel always starts this way.
- Afternoon (Delayed, approx. 2:00 PM): Finally touch down in Salzburg. Train to Mittersill is… picturesque. Seriously, the scenery is breathtaking, which is a good distraction from the growing fear that my luggage is lost somewhere between Heathrow and… well, anywhere.
- Late Afternoon (Still, roughly 4:00 PM): Arrive in Mittersill! Find the holiday home… or at least, try to find it. Directions were… let's just say, "open to interpretation." Cue frantic Google Maps searches, me muttering about the evils of unclear street signs, and a minor breakdown involving a rogue flock of sheep.
- Evening (By the grace of God, 7:00 PM): UNPACKING. First impression of the place: charming, maybe? After the initial panic, I see the gorgeous view from the balcony. OMG, this is going to be great. Time for a well-deserved beer and a cheese plate from the local market! Oh, and now the WIFI is down (classic!).
Day 2: The Mountain's Call (and My Lack of Fitness)
- Morning (8:00 AM, if I'm lucky): Attempt to actually do something. Breakfast: Coffee strong enough to wake the dead, plus a croissant that crumbles all over me.
- Late Morning (10:00 AM): Hiking! I'm a city person, remember? Visions of Instagram-worthy vista shots. Reality: heavy breathing, legs screaming, questioning every life choice that led me to this moment. But the view… OH MY GOD. It’s worth it. Absolutely worth it. (Until my quads remind me otherwise later.)
- Lunch (1:00 PM): Stop at a tiny, traditional mountain hut. Try the Kaiserschmarrn (shredded pancake). It's an experience. So good, it will melt in your mouth. I’m convinced I need to learn how to make this (and find a way to consume it without the guilt).
- Afternoon (4:00 PM): Stroll through the village. Obsessively take photos of everything. Buy a hat that makes me look like a local (even though I'm clearly not). Get lost in a charming little shop filled with local crafts.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner at a local restaurant. Try the schnitzel. I swear, you can't visit Austria without trying schnitzel! Now, with all its deliciousness, I am feeling sleepy.
Day 3: Kitzbühel! (The Glamorous Contrast)
- Morning (9:00 AM): Day trip to Kitzbühel. The glamorous ski town! Train ride is a breeze (thank goodness). I can only dream of the money needed to stay there!
- Lunch (12:00 PM): Wander around the town, ogling at the designer shops and imagining myself as a millionaire. Stop for a very expensive lunch. But hey, gotta do it, right?
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Cable car ride up the Hahnenkamm (site of the famous ski race). I can definitely see the beautiful views of the mountains. This place is incredible. The air is so fresh!
- Evening (7:00 PM): Head back to Mittersill. Dinner at the holiday home because my budget is officially crying. Cooking! Mess involves burnt sausages, questionable vegetable choices, and a lot of laughter. The wine, thankfully, is excellent.
Day 4: The Mittersill "Adventure" (aka, "How Many Ticks Can a Person Collect?")
- Morning (9:00 AM): Decide to be adventurous (again, I question this). Cycle the Tauern Cycle Path. It's supposed to be easy, but… well, anything with a slight incline feels like a mountain climb at this point. Stop for more Kaiserschmarrn, obviously.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): The "Adventure" part. Attempt to go to the lake. Get lost in the forest. And… yep… get a tick. One tiny, annoying, creepy-crawly tick. Cue panic, internet searches, and a dramatic removal scene that probably traumatized the local wildlife.
- Evening (7:00 PM): After a hot shower, settle down with a beer and try to relax, while constantly checking for more ticks.
Day 5: The Relaxation Attempt (aka, "Can I Actually Unwind?")
- Morning (9:00 AM): Sleep in! I mean, attempt to sleep in. Wake up to a cloudy day and a slight rain, which is perfect for a day of relaxation.
- Late Morning (11:00 AM): Head to the local spa. Massages and sauna time. Pure bliss. Finally, some proper unwinding.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): Explore more of Mittersill, find a cute little cafe. Sit in the cafe, drinking hot coffee and eating pastry, while reading a book.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Home-cooked meal. This time, it’s a pasta dish that is really easy to make. Eat the pasta, drinking red wine, and enjoying the silence.
Day 6: The Sad Goodbye (and the Promise to Return)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Wake up with a heavy heart. The trip is ending. Pack. Say goodbye to the view.
- Late Morning (10:00 AM): One last walk around Mittersill. Buy some souvenirs. Soak in the last moments.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Head back to the airport. Trains, planes… the usual travel chaos.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Back home. I’m exhausted, but also filled with memories.
Day 7: Homecoming
- Settle back into life, but daydream relentlessly about Austrian mountains and schnitzel. I will come back! I promise!
Is it *really* unbelievable? I mean, seriously? The pictures look Photoshopped.
Okay, let's be real. Those pictures? They’re gorgeous. Almost offensively gorgeous. And yeah, there's probably a *touch* of airbrushing going on. But, and this is a big but, the reality is still… well, pretty darn unbelievable. I was skeptical, okay? I'd seen the "luxury" trap before. But the sheer scale of the place, the views, the *smell* of the cedar – it hits you like a warm hug mixed with a shot of adrenaline. It’s not a pristine museum; it’s a *lived-in* luxury. Think: fireplace you actually *want* to sit in front of, not just admire from a decorative standpoint. I spent a solid hour just gawking at the mountains. A whole hour. My jaw actually hurt afterward.
What's the deal with the location? Is it really ski-in/ski-out? Because I've heard that promise before...
Alright, location. Here's the straight dope. Yes, it is *mostly* ski-in/ski-out. Mostly. Okay, let me clarify: *95%* of the time, it's gloriously ski-in/ski-out. You can practically roll out of bed, grab your skis, and bam! You’re on the slopes – a dream. That other 5%? Well… there was this *one* morning. A blizzard had rolled in, visibility was zero, and the "ski-in" part involved a rather… *adventurous* traverse across a slightly icy patch. Let's just say it involved a few strategic butt-slides and a newfound appreciation for my ski poles. But, hey, even that made a good story, right? And the fact that the *other* six days were pure ski-in/ski-out bliss more than made up for it. Plus, the après-ski bar is practically at your doorstep! That’s a win in my book.
Tell me about the kitchen. I've been burned by "gourmet kitchens" before that only have a toaster and a single dull knife.
Oh, the kitchen. Sweet, sweet kitchen. This isn't a joke; it's the real deal. Seriously. I'm a bit of a cooking enthusiast (read: I like to eat), and I was *thrilled*. It had *everything*. Seriously, every gadget you could possibly imagine. Stand mixer? Check. Immersion blender? Check. Enough pots and pans to feed a small army? Double-check. My first night, I made a truly extravagant pasta dish, complete with homemade pesto. The only downside? My kids were covered in flour for the next hour. It's a kitchen designed for *living*. And, the icing in the cake? There's a dedicated wine fridge. I spent a lot more time in that wine fridge than I'd like to admit. Let's just say, the kitchen alone is worth the price of admission.
What's the vibe like? Is it stuffy and formal? Or can I actually relax?
Relax. Seriously, take a deep breath and relax. It's luxuriously relaxed. Sure, the place is stunning, but it's not one of those places where you feel like you have to whisper and tiptoe around. We blasted music, laughed until our stomachs hurt, and spent more time lounging in front of the fireplace than we’d planned. There’s a warmth to the place. Like, actual warmth. The staff are amazing, super helpful and friendly but not at all intrusive. They're there if you need them, invisible if you don’t. I left feeling like I’d just spent a week with old friends, not in some sterile, soulless hotel.
Okay, give me the unvarnished truth: What was the *worst* thing?
Alright, okay. Here’s the honest truth: The *worst* thing? Leaving. Seriously. And maybe, just maybe, the sheer *volume* of incredible food. It felt like a constant parade of deliciousness, and I definitely gained a few pounds. Oh! And this is super specific, but getting the right temperature for the hot tub was a puzzle for the ages. Had to call the staff twice. Eventually, though, the steaming water was the best part of the whole experience. No, scratch that, *second* best. The best was when our kids spontaneously started singing Karaoke in the home theater room. Not a single person in Kitzbuhel could’ve known what was happening inside our holiday let.
Is it worth the splurge?
Look. This isn't a budget trip. Let's not pretend otherwise. It's a splurge. Can you afford it? Maybe yes, maybe no. But here's the thing: If you *can* swing it, and if you're looking for a genuinely unforgettable experience? Absolutely. Consider it an investment in memories, in laughter, in escaping the everyday. Yeah, the price tag stings. But the feeling you have afterward? That's priceless. I'm already saving up for my return…. My wife still makes fun of me for the “butt-slide” incident. But she wants to go back too!
What about the bedrooms? Are they as luxurious as the rest of the place?
Oh. My. God. The bedrooms. Okay, gather 'round, let me tell you a story... each bedroom is basically its own little palace. Think massive beds, plush linens, and views that will stop you in your tracks. I swear, I spent a good portion of my first morning just wandering from window to window, gaping at the scenery. The master suite? Ridiculous. Like, "I should move in here permanently" ridiculous. The bathrooms are spa-worthy. Seriously, if you're a bath person, you're in heaven. And, for a little extra detail; *every* bedroom has a private balcony or terrace. I snuck out one morning to read a book as the sun rose, the cold air, and the peace… Man, I miss that feeling.
Anything else I should know? Any hidden fees or sneaky surprises?
Okay, here's a quick rundown: Be prepared to tip. It's standard practice, and the staff deserve it. Check what's included in the price *before* you book. Is breakfast included? Activities? Make sure you know the lay of the land. And… and this is a big one… get ready to fall in love with Kitzbühel. I’m serious! Before, I just knew it as a good place to ski. Now, I consider it a second home. And you probably will too! Hotel Radar Map
