Spiess & Spiess

Schloss Belvedere to the Canal


The Spiess family goes out of its way to make you welcome at this elegant pension occupying a late 19th-century house. The spacious, contemporary, crisp white rooms have been designed with care and utmost taste; the pricier ones come with fireplaces and balconies. The region-driven breakfast is an organic smorgasbord of fresh fruit salad, bacon and eggs, cereals and pastries.
