Sleep soundly amidst southern Austria's alpine beauty at this lovingly restored, village-style hotel - includes breakfast, spa access and activity perks
  • A piece of Carinthian history: Dating back around 400 years, the farmhouses at Naturel Hoteldorf SCHÖNLEITN have been lovingly and individually restored into cosy apartments. Each brims with authentic country house style and comes filled with all the necessary mod cons, for a carefree and welcoming stay on a picturesque incline above Lake Faaker See. Indeed, as a certified hiking hotel that's a member of Wanderhotels, you have the chance of embarking on spectacular hiking tours, right in the Karawanken mountian region. 

  • Warm village style: A cosy and inviting stay is guaranteed here, as the apartments offer plenty of privacy from your neighbours, while the communal facilities feature thoughtful home-from-home comforts. Dine amidst beautifully rustic decor at the restaurant, where fresh regional dishes will please guests of all ages, and treat yourself to a glass or two of wine at the vinotheque. There is also much for the little ones to discover at BIBI's children's world.

  • Switch off and slow down: While plentiful sport activities will keep the active types happily on their feet, others can relax in the Naturel SPA. Forget your everyday cares as you flit across the indoor and outdoor pools, relaxation areas, Finnish sauna, herbal sauna, infrared cabin and sun terrace. As a very special highlight, the views of the Mittagskogel are second-to-none from the panoramic sauna.

Naturel Hoteldorf SCHÖNLEITN is located in Latschach ober dem Faakersee, in the southern Austrian region of Carinthia.

Location and what's nearby

Dorfstraße 26, 9582, Austria

Countless possibilities for outdoor excursions await in super-scenic Carinthia. Spend a few carefree hours at Lake Faaker See, where you can enjoy a leisurely swim in its lido, or discover magnificent alpine nature on a guided or self-led hike - in the nearby Drachenwald, perhaps, or along the Fox Trail which starts right on the hotel's doorstep. As well as offering great views of the Faaker See, the Taborhöhe is home to a forest rope park and practice archery site, both guaranteeing lots of family-friendly fun. Elsewhere, the Finsterbach waterfalls are a must-visit if you're looking for a change of scene.
