Take a country break in Austria

Austria was recently hailed as one of the world's best destinations for sustainable tourism in the World Economic Forum’s Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report. And the Austrian Institute for Sustainability hails the Naturidyll hotels as the pioneers of Europe with an “aristocratic” green sensibility.

Your holiday at a Naturidyll hotel starts in the morning with a culinary excursion: delicious cheese, milk or yoghurt - all regional products of very high quality. All breakfast buffets at Naturidyll hotels uniquely reflect their region and it is of utmost concern to all hoteliers to show the excellent culinary specialities of the region. Amidst spectacular lake or mountain scenery, Naturidyll hoteliers want you to feel at home, which is why the service is not only personal, it's also lovingly attentive. Austria’s Naturidyll hotels are family- run and limited to a certain size.

Eco-consciousness, sustainability, the keeping of regional traditions and values, and the careful use of nature’s gifts are the virtues of all Naturidyll Hotels in Austria. Aside from the work of farmers, hunters and forest men, 70% of power comes from alternative energy and 60% of all waste is recycled.

Winter break at the Naturidyll Hotels
Winter in Austria is not only long and intense but also exciting, refreshing and offering more than its share of possible adventures as well as romantic and relaxing moments. When the Austrian countryside is covered by a white blanket of snow, time has come to get up, gear up and go out. There are abundant possibilities for every gender and age. Go fast or go slow, go up or down – you will enjoy whatever you do tremendously.
