Reviews and Ratings
Staying at Schloss Ernegg was an extraordinary experience filled with character and charm. The rooms were beautifully decorated and spacious, adding to the overall enchantment of the castle's historical ambiance. The access to golf and the surrounding outdoor activities were great highlights for our family. However, some aspects of the service could be enhanced, and the dining options, while enjoyable, could have had a bit more variety.
I recently enjoyed a wonderful stay at the castle, beautifully nestled in peaceful countryside and close to two fantastic golf courses. The unique historical ambiance made me feel like I was part of a different era, and the cozy bar and lovely terrace were perfect for relaxing in the evenings. While the rooms reflected the charm of the castle, they might not meet the expectations of those looking for modern amenities. The breakfast was delightful, but a bit more variety would make it even better.
