Obkirchhof

We were traveling with extended family and occupied both apartments situated on the ground floor (from the hill side) with its own antechamber. Both apartments have a balcony with stunning views of the village and the Alps. The Egger family lives upstairs and is very friendly and welcoming (they also include a free bottle of milk each morning). Both apartments were clean and warm and furnished with high quality wooden furniture. The kitchen was fully equipped. The bathrooms were impeccable. The whole house is built in traditional style but has been recently renovated (with central heating). The house is very spacious and so are the apartments - much bigger than they appear on the photos. The location is very good - relatively close to the Merano2000 and would recommend for skiing season HQ. Unfortunately, at the time of our visit, there was no snow, but if there was, snow sleds for kids were available in the yard as well as the very inviting slopes all around the house. There is also a grill and a large table and because the surroundings are also great for hiking, I'm sure the Obkirchhof property would meet the needs of summer visitors as well.

The only thing that was problematic is the Google Maps navigation which leads the visitor on the wrong road sometimes. This is, of course, by no fault of the owner, but please be aware, especially if you are arriving late. You can find the property simply and without GPS - when you get off the main road towards the village, just drive past church and turn right by the cottage (illuminated by white light in the night). After that, you drive straight for about 400m through the woods and the Egger family house is the first one on the left (parking is in the back, not in front).

The host was verry friendly and the apartments are really nice. We had a barbeque outside and all the facilities in the kitchen.
