The Hotel
A town set against the rocky mountainside. Walk alongside ivy-covered walls, step into a quiet inner courtyard. Rosebushes in the monastery garden. Inside, antique wooden furniture. On the walls, paintings and sketches, old portraits. Dining on the terrace, in the shade of chestnut trees. Gazing endlessly at the river below. Pure enjoyment in Dürnstein, in the heart of the Wachau.
