Business trip to Villach: an apartment instead of a hotel room

From the third night onwards a hotel room gets small. An apartment by Lake Ossiach often costs less, has a kitchen, and is still close enough to Villach to get you to a morning meeting on time.

Living area with TV and wooden wall – Ossiachersee apartment (ground floor), Sattendorf

The location

Lake Ossiach lies between Villach and Feldkirchen. Villach has a railway station and motorway access, and the A10 Tauern motorway runs past.

For meetings in Villach, Klagenfurt, Feldkirchen or on the Italian and Slovenian side of the three-country corner, this is a workable base. We send the exact address and directions with the booking confirmation.

What an apartment does better

Kitchen. After three restaurant evenings you have had enough. A fridge and a hob change a lot.

Space. The Ossiachersee apartment is around 62 square metres for two people, with a balcony, a bathtub and a separate WC. That is not a hotel category, it is a flat.

Quiet. No neighbours through the wall, no housekeeping knocking at nine.

Invoice. You receive a proper invoice. Please give us the company address and VAT number before it is issued.

What a hotel does better

Breakfast with no effort. A reception desk around the clock. And a room somebody tidies every day. If that matters more to you than a kitchen, take the hotel – we would rather say so in advance.

After work

The shore path is flat and usually free of snow even in winter. With an hour to spare, walk a stretch by the water. With two, take the Kanzelbahn from Annenheim up the Gerlitzen and look down on the lake from 1,440 metres.

In summer: swimming, stand-up paddling, the cycle path around the lake. In winter: skiing on the Gerlitzen, the Warmbad thermal spa, and at the end of February the Villach carnival.
