Salzburg
Sitting below Gaisberg and surrounded by attractive gardens and countryside, this charismatic B&B is lodged in a 17th-century flour mill. The family go out of their way to please, and the incredibly spacious, sunny, parquet-floored rooms feature touches such as ceramic ovens, mountain views and Nespresso machines. It’s a 15-minute ride from the Hauptbahnhof on bus 155 (Salzburg Kühberg stop).
There's a minimum two-night stay in high season.
