Gut Purbach

Top choice


This is arguably the 'See's most stylish sleeping choice. Five rooms, including one suite, mix beautiful old bones with rustic antiques and contemporary design pieces. No two rooms are the same but they all have large, incredibly comfortable beds. You're also well placed for Max Stiegl's wonderful on-site restaurant.

The menu includes goat from Stiegl's own farm, pigs from nearby pastures and fish fresh from the lake.
