Haus Wartenberg

Salzburg


This welcoming, family-run pension is a 15-minute stroll southwest of the Altstadt. It's set in vine-strewn gardens and housed in a gorgeous 17th-century chalet full of creaky floors and family heirlooms. The chunky pinewood and florals in the country-style rooms are in keeping with the character of the place. Take bus 1, 4 or 5 to Moosstrasse.
