The Wiesenhof Hotel

After a thoroughly enjoyable  and interesting stay at the AlpenMedHotel Lamm in Seefeld, (more about our amazing treatments in my longer review coming soon), we have now moved to the rural setting of the Wiesenhof Hotel in Pertisau – a short walk from the the shores of Lake Achensee and the Karwendel Alpine Park.

Our lovely room has a four poster bed and a large balcony with rural and mountain views! The surrounding countryside looks beautiful in the mist and rain so must look positively stunning with blue skies and sunshine

The Wiesenhof has extensive wellness facilities and after lunch, we have the first of our treatments, a 20-minute Tyrolean shale oil bath for two, which we take in a long narrow wooden bath. The shale oil is extracted from local stone and has a pleasant, slightly antiseptic fragrance.  We thoroughly enjoy a warming and relaxing soak – perfect on a wet and cool afternoon!
