Still dreaming about our vacation at Fischer am See. The hotel is located at the pristine…read moreHeiterwanger See, one of the few lakes that is not developed with roads or private property. The view and location can only be matched by the friendly service, delicious food and excellent rooms.
We stayed a total of six nights, with our two young kids. The Maisonette overlooked the lake and had a breathtaking mountain view.
We loved the simplistic yet elegant temporary design of our room. We enjoyed having two levels, two bathrooms and a private balcony. The room was extremely clean and room service was always prompt and super friendly.
The owner family and staff are very professional, friendly and helpful. They would always make us feel welcome and have very helpful advice about the surrounding area.
Breakfast on the outside patio with lake view is a wonderful start to the day, and the buffet is plentiful and kept changing. Homemade jams and juices were delicious. The cook absolutely perfected the art of frying an egg with Austrian bacon. After the breakfast we never needed lunch because it was so delicious and we just couldn't stop trying new combinations.
Our kids could play in sight at the well equipped play ground, so even without a baby sitter we felt like being on date breakfast or date night.
Most nights we tried to have dinner at their restaurant if we didn't have a long day trip and that was just as amazing as breakfast. We loved the innovative approach to traditional dishes. Food was of excellent quality and composition. Our kids enjoyed the traditional Austrian 'Kaiserschmarrn' while we indulged in a wonderful lamb roast or 'Kaesspatzle' ( cheesy noodles with fried onions). The staff is very knowledgable and observant. I used up a knife that was intended for the main dish and the waiter brought me a new one before I even had to ask. Also, the wine recommendations are spot on.
Once a week they host a breakfast at the other end of the lake if the weather cooperates. They bring the guests over on their tour boat and host a high quality breakfast al fresco at no extra cost. It was an amazing event and we went swimming afterwards. We will never forget this event!
They serve everything on fine china and have seat cushions and table cloths even in this outdoor picnic setting. They absolutely raised the bar!
So, we are planning on returning hopefully soon. This place is a piece of paradise!!! And there is so much more to discover and see!
