Luxury Mittersill Apartment: Stunning Views & Elevator Access! – My Honest Take (With a Side of Rambling)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from a stay at the Luxury Mittersill Apartment, and frankly, my head is still swimming in the clouds (and maybe a little bit of Schnapps). This isn't your typical sparkly, sanitized review. Think of it more like a diary entry, a therapy session, and a slightly tipsy cocktail – all rolled into one.

- Description: My brutally honest review of the Luxury Mittersill Apartment in Austria! From the breathtaking views to the questionable coffee, I spill the tea (or Glühwein) on this Alpine escape. Accessibility, amenities, and all the quirky bits in between – you'll get the real story!
First Impressions (and a Glimpse of Panic)
So, the elevator. Let's start with the elevator. Because, as someone who has a… robust relationship with stairs, the fact that this place had an elevator was already a major win. This place is definitely checking the Accessibility box! From the website, I'd gathered it was wheelchair accessible, and it seems that's true!. However, it's also important to note that while they DO have a dedicated access for disabled guests, I didn't realize how much the views can be affected from some rooms, so keep an eye out when booking. I'm not a wheelchair user so I can't say for sure, but it might be worth calling to make sure the accessible rooms DO indeed, have the views!
Okay, now the views! The website promised "stunning views" which I usually take with a grain of salt, right? Well, they weren't lying. I'm talking jaw-dropping, "almost cried because it was so beautiful," views. I mean, seriously. Mountains. Snow. Like, the kind of scenery that makes you question all your life choices and contemplate becoming a mountain goat. It's Stunning Views & Elevator Access! indeed.
Accessibility… The Real Deal?
Okay, here's where it gets a little more… opinionated. While the elevator was fantastic, I didn't specifically check for wheelchair access. I have to mention the Facilities for disabled guests – they're listed, which is a good start. The website seemed to have a good focus on accessibilty, but that's something you REALLY need to double-check. The apartment itself seemed pretty spacious and potentially maneuverable for someone using a wheelchair, from what I could see. This has to be mentioned.
The Amenities – Yay or Nay (and Some Rambling)
Alright, let's dive into the amenity buffet, shall we?
- Wi-Fi: Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! & Internet are great, and it was actually, surprisingly, fast. I'm talking streaming videos, uploading photos, and generally annoying everyone on the internet with my constant updates – all without a hitch. Internet [LAN] was also available, but I didn't touch it.
- Breakfast: Okay, this is where things got… interesting. They offered Breakfast in room, which, let's be honest, is a major win. Also, the Breakfast [buffet] was supposed to be great, but I slept through it (I'm on vacation, okay?!). There seemed to be some Alternative meal arrangement which is fantastic, and the Breakfast takeaway service option is brilliant for early risers, which is NOT me! And I should probably mention the Asian breakfast and Western breakfast options. I will try that next time!
- Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: This is where things get complicated, and I get hungry. There are Restaurants and a Poolside bar. I was intrigued by the A la carte in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, Salad in restaurant, and Soup in restaurant options. I also might have indulged in one too many Bottle of water.
- Spa & Wellness: Right, the Spa. Okay, I spent a concerning amount of time in the Sauna, the Steamroom, and the Spa/sauna. I might have even tried a Body scrub and Body wrap just for the heck of it. The Pool with view was… well, you've already figured it out. Stunning. And the Swimming pool [outdoor] was heated, very nice! They also have a Foot bath, which I didn't even know I needed until I had one. Body scrub was also great, and they provided a Massage, a literal godsend after all that mountain gawking.
- Fitness center: They had a Fitness center. I walked through it. That’s about all the exercise I got, but hey, they had one!
- Services & Conveniences: The Concierge was helpful, bless their hearts. Daily housekeeping was a lifesaver, especially after my attempt at making coffee one morning (which ended in a near-disaster involving the coffee machine, the counter, and a whole lot of splattered java). Also, the Dry cleaning, Laundry service, and Ironing service were welcome luxuries. I also noticed Currency exchange, Cash withdrawal, and a Convenience store, but I didn't use them.
- For the kids: I didn't have any kids with me, but I saw the Babysitting service listed. I hope the kids got the Kids meal, as one of the apartments was quite family-friendly.
Cleanliness and Safety: The Post-Pandemic Edition
Okay, let's get serious for a sec. In the age of… you know… things, cleanliness is paramount. The Luxury Mittersill Apartment seemed to take this seriously. I noticed Anti-viral cleaning products, Cashless payment service, Daily disinfection in common areas, and Food delivery. They had the Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options (for breakfast, I assume), and staff was Staff trained in safety protocol. I also noticed the Rooms sanitized between stays and they provide Sanitized kitchen and tableware items.
The Nitty Gritty (The Stuff They Don't Tell You)
- The Coffee: Okay, the coffee in the apartment wasn't the best. It was… functional. Let's leave it at that. Maybe, just maybe, the coffee shop is better.
- The Smell: This is more of a general observation. Some rooms smell like cleaning products (not a bad thing!), but some rooms also have a slight musty smell. Nothing crazy, just… noticeable.
- The Noise: The walls aren’t paper-thin, but you might hear your neighbors if they are being… enthusiastic. Pack earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.
The Emotional Rollercoaster
This apartment isn't perfect, but wow. The views alone are worth the price of admission. Seriously, I'd move in tomorrow if I could. There were moments of pure bliss, moments of mild frustration (damn you, coffee!), and moments of deep, profound relaxation.
The Verdict: Would I Go Back?
Absolutely. Despite the minor imperfections, the Luxury Mittersill Apartment is a truly special place. It's a place where you can unplug, unwind, and reconnect with nature (and maybe yourself). I'd give it a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars, docking half a point for the coffee and the occasional musty smell.
Final Thoughts (and More Rambling)
This place is a memory in the making. From the moment you step out of the Elevator, you start feeling completely different. You'll feel different! I left feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to face the world (and maybe conquer a mountain or two). If you're looking for a luxurious escape with breathtaking views and a touch of Alpine charm, book this place. Just… bring your own coffee. You won't regret it.
(Disclaimer: This review is based on my personal experience and, you know, my personality. Your mileage may vary. Especially with the coffee.)
Escape to The Hague: Stunning Beachfront Holiday Home with Fireplace!
Okay, buckle up, buttercup, because this isn’t your pristine Pinterest itinerary. This is the real deal, the messy, glorious, slightly-caffeine-deprived account of my trip to Mittersill, Austria. Apartment with a lift? Oh, we fancy now. Let’s see if we can keep this thing running smoothly… or, you know, at all.
Mittersill Mayhem: A Totally Unprofessional Itinerary (with a Lift!)
Day 1: Arrival – Or, the Day My Luggage Tried to Escape
Morning (like, REALLY morning, thanks jet lag): Landed in Munich. Smuggled myself (and my existential dread) through customs. Found the train to Mittersill. Okay, this is already a win! The train was… well, a train. Clean. Efficient. German. I'm sensing a theme.
- Anecdote: My luggage, a suspiciously large suitcase, had a thing for escaping. Almost lost it on the carousel in Munich. Imagine, arriving in the Alps with only the clothes on my back! Pure chaos fodder. I think I shouted something along the lines of, "YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME YET, YOU GLORIOUS BEAST!" The other passengers' expressions were priceless.
Afternoon: Arrived in Mittersill. The town looked like a postcard… a REAL postcard, not one of those photoshopped Instagram monstrosities. Checked into the apartment. THE LIFT! Oh, glorious, effortless vertical transport. I'd have fallen for the lift alone. After all, carrying bags up the stairs after a long flight? No thanks, my back.
Evening: Grocery shopping. Faced the language barrier with a mixture of enthusiasm and mild panic. Found the local Spar. Bought way too much cheese. (Priorities). Stumbled back to the apartment, collapsed on the sofa, and stared at the Alps through the window. Absolutely breathtaking.
- Quirky Observation: The cheese selection in Austria is like a love letter to humanity. I swear, I saw a cheese that looked like a grumpy old gnome. I almost shed a tear.
- Emotional Reaction: Overwhelmed. Pure, unadulterated overwhelm. The beauty. The cheese. The fact that I was actually here, in the Alps, in my own tiny apartment with a lift. Pinch me!
Day 2: Mountain Highs (and Lows, Probably Involving Cheese)
Morning: Decided to be all adventurous and hike. Found a trail. It went up. Very, very up.
- Anecdote: I overestimated my fitness level. Massively. I huffed and puffed my way up the mountain, looking like a particularly sweaty walrus. Almost gave up, several times. Then I ate a piece of that gnome cheese (see, I told you!). It gave me the power! Well, maybe not power, but it did make me feel less like I was going to die.
- Imperfection: Got slightly lost. Added an extra hour to the hike. Found a shortcut. Fell in a puddle of mud. My hiking boots are now, let’s say, aesthetically challenged.
Afternoon: Ate a schnitzel. (Required). It was enormous. Glorious. I’m pretty sure I’ve consumed my weight in pork by now.
Evening: Wine. On the balcony. Alps at sunset. Life is… actually, pretty damn good. I'm kind of in love with this place.
- Rambling: The air smells different here. Cleaner. Crisp. Full of… something. It’s like my soul is slowly being scrubbed. I can’t explain it properly, but it’s… magic.
- Opinionated Language: Whoever decided to build mountains clearly understood the value of sheer, unadulterated beauty.
Day 3: The Grossglockner High Alpine Road – Or, Where Fear and Fascination Clash
Morning: The Grossglockner High Alpine Road. People had told me it was amazing. They weren’t wrong. It’s… insane. Winding switchbacks. Sheer drops. The air thinned. The heart rate… followed suit.
- Anecdote: The views? Unbelievable. Absolutely. Stunning. The driving? A little less stunning. I gripped the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned white. At one point, I screamed "We’re all gonna die!" to the car window. Thankfully, my sanity survived.
- Emotional Reaction: Pure terror, mixed with absolute awe. There were moments when I genuinely thought I was going to roll/slide/fall off the mountain. Then there were moments where I just wanted to stay there forever, breathing in the thin air.
Afternoon: Stopped at a cafe, had strudel. (Another requirement). I earned that strudel.
Evening: Back in Mittersill. Watched the sunset from the apartment. Reflected on my near-death experience. Ate more cheese.
- Messier Structure: Still processing the day. Still a bit shaky. Did I conquer a mountain? Did the mountain conquer me? Who cares, I'm alive! Plus, I have photos. I'm pretty sure I need a vacation from this vacation.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: I am so grateful for the lift. I'd be dead without it.
Day 4: Relaxing and Reflecting (aka Trying to Recover)
- Morning: Slept in. The hike and the Grossglockner had taken their toll.
- Afternoon: Wandered the town. Checked out some of the shops. Got a coffee. People here are so incredibly friendly. The pace of life is… different. Slower. Calmer.
- Doubling Down on a Single experience: I started to feel less like a tourist and more like a part of this. Found a small café, the owner was nice, we spent an hour talking about random topics. Now there's the smell of coffee and warm pastries baking, with the warm atmosphere. Now I am convinced, that I absolutely must live somewhere like this.
- Evening: Cooked dinner in the apartment. Pasta. (Comfort food, after all the cheese and pork). Watched a movie.
- Letting it get even more stream-of-consciousness: This trip is more than just a holiday. It's a reset. A chance to disconnect from the chaos and reconnect with… the mountains, the cheese, and my own thoughts. Even the occasional mess.
Day 5: Departure - And, The Day My Soul Tried to Stay Behind
- Morning: Packing. Saying goodbye to the lift.
- Afternoon: Train back to Munich.
- Imperfection: Seriously, the packing! The suitcase is full again… and now slightly more worn-out.
- Evening: Flight home. Sad. So, so sad.
- Quirky Observation: I think a piece of my heart is now sitting in that little apartment, next to the lift.
- Emotional Reaction: Devastated to leave. But… already planning my return. This trip? A glorious, messy, imperfect, and utterly unforgettable adventure.
- Natural Pacing: The train. The airport. Home. Slowly returning to reality, but forever changed. Still dreaming of cheese. And mountains. And that damn lift. So long, Mittersill! Until next time…
Luxury Mittersill Apartment: You've Got Questions, I've (Maybe) Got Answers! (Spoiler: It's Amazing)
Okay, first things first: What's the view *really* like? They're calling it "stunning," but is it just a fancy word for "slightly above average"?
Listen, "stunning" doesn't even *begin* to cover it. I’m not kidding. I went in with super low expectations because, honestly, marketing gets over-the-top, right? But picture this... You wake up (after, *ahem*, enjoying the ridiculously comfortable bed – more on that later) and you SLOWLY crack the curtains. And BAM! Your jaw actually DROPS. Like, in a cartoonish way. I swear, I probably looked like a goldfish for a solid five minutes. It's not just pretty. It's like, the mountains are *right there*. You feel like you could reach out and touch the snow. One morning, I actually saw a hawk circling - like, a legit hawk, not the sad pigeons you get in the city. That's when I knew I'd made a good decision. The worst part? Leaving it. Sob.
Is the elevator actually *convenient* or is it one of those "fancy elevators" that's slower than walking up the stairs?
Okay, yes, good question. The elevator is *crucial*. Because, um, the whole apartment is, you know, *luxury* and *elevation*. There are stairs, but let's be honest, after a day on the slopes (or, let's be REAL, after a bottle of wine at dinner), the elevator is a GODSEND. It's the kind of elevator that's smooth, quiet, and doesn't feel like it's going to plunge you into the abyss. HOWEVER, the *very first time*, I pushed the button (I think I was so excited I accidentally jabbed it, which is a total me thing), and waited.... and waited.... and then I *panicked* for maybe a microsecond (again, me). Then it arrived. Smooth sailing from there. But that initial wait? It felt oddly dramatic. Like a mini-movie playing out in my head of, "Oh no! Is it broken? Am I trapped? Will I have to carry my luggage up all those stairs?!?" (Dramatic, I know).
Let's talk about the bed. It's a "luxury apartment." What kind of sleep situation are we dealing with? Heavenly? Or "fancy mattress on a cheap frame" heavenly?
Alright, let's get *real* about the bed situation. It's the *most* important thing, right? Because if you don't sleep well, you're grumpy. And grumpy on vacation is the *worst*. This bed... oh my *god*. Forget the cheap frame nonsense. This thing is like sleeping on a cloud that's been personally crafted by angels. The sheets are ridiculously soft. I'm pretty sure they're made of unicorn hair. Or maybe alpaca wool. Either way, it's pure bliss. I actually texted the owner at 3 AM because of how luxurious it was. (Okay, maybe I was a *little* tipsy from the après-ski… but still!). Honestly, I considered staying in bed all day. And I almost did, I'm not gonna lie. I finally dragged my sorry self out because, well, the view was calling.
Is it actually *clean*? I’ve read reviews that say some "luxury" apartments are… not so luxurious when it comes to cleanliness.
Okay, yes. Cleanliness is KEY. I'm a bit of a clean freak, I must admit (that's probably the understatement of the year), so this was a *MAJOR* concern. BUT! Thankfully, the place was spotless. And not the "surface clean" where they just vacuumed and called it a day. We're talking the kind of clean where you could eat off the floors (though I didn't try, just in case!). The kitchen was sparkling. The bathrooms were pristine. I actually took a white glove test! (Kidding! Mostly.) Seriously though, it felt fresh and inviting, which is EXACTLY what you want after traveling. One tiny, *tiny* thing? I initially tried to find the cleaning supplies to give it an extra once over... but then I remembered I was on vacation. And, well, I didn't want to ruin the nice cleanliness myself. Which, you know, I'm prone to doing...
The kitchen – is it properly equipped? Or just "pretty appliances" and nothing to *actually* cook with?
Ah, the kitchen. This is important! I actually really *like* cooking, even on vacation. And this kitchen? AMAZING. Seriously. It had everything. And let me tell you, I am a huge cook. It has everything, I mean. I really wanted to make a fancy meal. They even had a stand mixer! (Which, full disclosure, I barely figured out how to use.) BUT, they had so many things, it made it almost too difficult to *actually choose* what to cook. So, there was that. I eventually went with the traditional pasta because, you know, it's easy. But, the fact that I *could* have made a soufflé if I wanted to? Love it. The only "complaint"? I didn't have to do any of the work!
What's the Wi-Fi situation? Because, let's be honest, sometimes you HAVE to check work emails *even on vacation*… ugh.
The Wi-Fi! Well, it's good. *Really* good. Fast, reliable, and I never lost connection, which is a MIRACLE considering how remote the area felt. I was able to stream movies, video call my family, and, yes, unfortunately, check those work emails. (Ugh, adulting). So, for those of you who, like me, can't completely escape the digital world, you're in good hands. It's a lifesaver, really. Especially when you need to look up a recipe for that pasta dish you are making.
Is it noisy? Any chance of a decent night's sleep, or are you going to be listening to your neighbors partying all night?
Noise? Nope! It's *incredibly* quiet. This is a HUGE plus. I’m a light sleeper, and I was seriously worried about this. I need my beauty sleep. But it’s peaceful, quiet, and you can actually hear the *silence*. That's how you know you're somewhere special, right? In the morning, you can hear the birds chirping and the distant sound of the gondola (if you are into that sort of thing). It's perfect for sleeping. Okay, maybe not perfect. *I* wasn't perfect, as I often get up in the middle of the night to watch the sun rise.Hidden Stay
