This is the place to stay when you come to Durnstein, the location is simply unbelievable, built inside an old castle and literally steps from the Monastery, you will no doubt have an amazing experience, I mean, after all you are all the way in the Wachau, one of the most beautiful regions in the world, staying in an historical hotel surrounded by amazing views, buildings ruins and history. Keep in mind that the Wachau has been designated by UNESCO as a world heritage site for its history and beauty, you will be staying in a unique place on top of a rock overlooking the Danube. This is a whole different story, remember that the Austrians invented the croissant, you MUST have a chocolate croissant here… or many, it will be one of the highlights of your trip.
