Haus Bartlmä

We spent our family holiday the 4th time in Lofer, my wife liked this apartment the most so far. If you like an active but not crowded summer holiday, this city is definitely for you. Small enough to walk through in 15 minutes, and big enough to find some bigger shops (Spar, Billa, Intersport, Herbst, Shell petrol station). Tourism is well organized, there are free music / drink / dance happenings 1-2 times a week, and with the Salzburger Saalachtal card you get from the host for the time you booked your holiday, you can enter free of charge to many local places like open air swimming pools (Lofer, Unken), canyons (2 different in 7 kms), ski lift. The mountains around, the Alps style houses with amazing amount of flowers, cows, small creeks, clean and planned streets all of them give you a calm és refreshing time in Lofer. The apartment was in the 3rd floor, clean, well equipped (we only missed the microwave). I liked the strong and hard matrac, however the roof often gave crackling sound during the night, woke up both of us sometimes. The kitchen is small, you need advanced lego skills for preparing food next to the dishes, coffee maker and kettle. There is no place to hide the big recycling plastic bag, but as we're 100% recyclers, it didn't disturb us at all. More than enough towels are prepared for you. The owner family is especially friendly and the lady speaks well in English. You can park in a garage in the garden, very close to the entrance. The house is just 1 minute walk from the ski lift, 5 minutes from the center square and 10 minutes from the swimming pools. One of the most beautiful place I know, excellent for family holiday, even with smaller or older kids.
