Luxury 2-Bedroom Apartment in Stunning Schruns, Austria!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into a mountain of Austrian luxury: the Luxury 2-Bedroom Apartment in Stunning Schruns, Austria! This isn't just a review; it's a rambling confession of love, a messy exploration of what makes a vacation truly memorable.
First Impressions: Arrival and Accessibility (Or, My Near-Alpine Meltdown)
Okay, so, getting there. The website said "accessible". Now, I wouldn't call myself disabled, but my knees? They're… well, they're opinionated. The drive up was breathtaking, I'll give it that. Mountains, crisp air, the whole nine yards of postcard perfection. Finding the apartment itself was a bit of a treasure hunt in the Alpine air. And… while technically accessible, let's just say those cobblestone streets didn't exactly love my suitcase. I'm pretty sure I saw a sheep snicker at me. Accessibility needs a little… tweaking. Think: clear signage and a few strategically placed ramps. But hey, the staff (more on them later!) were super helpful, and once I was in, the elevator worked like a charm. That counts, right?
Inside the Fortress of Comfort: The Apartment Itself
Whoa. Okay, rewind. My jaw actually dropped when I opened the door. I'm talking full-on, cartoon-character jaw-drop. Think Architectural Digest meets "I Wanna Be Rich". Seriously. Cleanliness and safety? Stellar. They've got that whole COVID-19 thing down. Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Room sanitization? Double check. I'm practically expecting them to hand me a hazmat suit at check-in. (Kidding. Mostly.)
The apartment itself? Available in all rooms: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes (YES!), Bathrooms Phone (extra!), HUGE, Blackout curtains (thank you, sweet baby Jesus), Complimentary tea (vital), Free Wi-Fi. Oh, and the view? Absolutely. Stunning. You wake up to those mountains, and you can practically taste the crisp alpine air. The Kitchen and Tableware are Sanitized so you need not worry about cleaning yourself after cooking. I spent a solid hour just staring out the window, contemplating the meaning of life, the universe, and whether I should order room service (I did. Twice. Don't judge).
I loved it, I mean, every single thing. The additional toilet (bless you!), the extra long bed, the mini-bar (a lifeline), and the soundproof rooms so it was perfect for a peaceful slumber after enjoying everything. Rooms Sanitized between stays were a great way to enhance my comfort
The Pampering and Pleasures: Relaxation & Things to Do (And My Spa Face)
Listen, I'm not usually a "spa person". I prefer my relaxation in the form of large quantities of chocolate and questionable reality TV. But… the Spa/Sauna. Oh, my. The Pool with view (outdoor, of course) was ridiculously gorgeous. I attempted a graceful entry, but ended up looking like a startled seal. Whatever. I enjoyed that dip. The Massage was a life-changer. I wandered in one stressed-out mess and emerged… a melted puddle of happy. A very happy puddle. I felt guilty, but also incredibly relaxed.
My face was so relaxed, I looked a little crazy
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Adventure
Food. My other great love (besides the spa, the mountains, and that aforementioned free tea). Breakfast in room? Yes, please! The A la carte in restaurant, Western breakfast, Asian breakfast, and Buffet in restaurant were a great way to start the day. I'm not going to lie, I made a beeline for the bacon. And the croissants. And maybe a little bit of the cheese. The Snack bar, Restaurants, and Bottle of water provided were a nice plus, and the Room service [24-hour] was dangerous. I ordered everything. Everything! I think I needed the Daily disinfection in common areas to recover after each feast. The chef, whoever he was, deserves a medal. Or, at least, a lifetime supply of bacon.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Big Difference
This place has it all. Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Convenience store. Daily housekeeping, and the staff seemed to anticipate my every whim. Need an iron? Ironing service. Laundry piling up? Laundry service. Lost your passport? (Okay, I didn't, but I bet they could handle it). They even had a Gift/souvenir shop… perfect for purchasing a "I survived Schruns" t-shirt to really impress my friends.
Getting Around: Location, Location, Location (and a Free Car Park – Score!)
The location is amazing. Right in the heart of Schruns, with easy access to everything. The Car park [free of charge] was a godsend. Driving around the mountains is intimidating but with a place to take a break, you can really enjoy the drive.
For the Kids (Let's Be Honest, This Is for Grown-Ups Too) I haven't got kids myself, but I saw kids everywhere, and they looked like they were having the time of their lives. Babysitting service and the Family/child friendly atmosphere made this a top pick. It's a place for a great time, even for the young at heart!
The Verdict: Go. Just Go.
Look, I could go on. I could tell you more about the friendly staff, the impeccable service, and the sheer joy of waking up in such a beautiful place. I could even write a poem about the view. But I won't. Because I'm afraid you'll book it first and steal my next vacation.
My score? 9.5 out of 10. The slight accessibility issues are the only reason it's not a perfect 10. But honestly? Minor. The rest is pure, unadulterated bliss.

Luxury Escape: Leonardo Hotel Eschborn Frankfurt - Your Dream German Getaway
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this itinerary is less "perfectly curated Instagram feed" and more "slightly-hungover attempt at remembering what happened last Tuesday." We're going to Schruns, Austria, in a "Geräumiges Appartement mit 2 Schlafzimmern" – which, in my experience, probably translates to "Big apartment with a view that'll make you weep with joy, provided you can manage to keep the kids from drawing on the walls with permanent marker."
Day 1: Arrival and the "Are We THERE Yet?" Syndrome
- Morning (or whenever we claw our way out of bed after the flight): Arrive at Zurich Airport. Honestly, airports are hellscapes designed to test the patience of saints. The lines, the screaming babies, the existential dread of realizing you packed your toothbrush in your checked luggage… It’s all a bit much.
- Transportation: Train from Zurich to Schruns. Apparently, Swiss trains are the epitome of efficiency and cleanliness. I'll believe it when I see it. Last time I took a train, a rogue sandwich ended up permanently fused to my backpack. Pray for me.
- Anecdote: On the last trip to the Alps, we got stuck in a freak snowstorm that felt like the world’s biggest, snowiest, most irritating disco. Roads were closed. Hotels were oversold. I started seriously considering joining a monastery just to get some peace.
- Afternoon: Arrive in Schruns. Find the aforementioned "Geräumiges Appartement." Pray it's actually clean and not, you know, haunted. Unpack, which always involves a moment of "where's my favorite socks?" panic, and maybe a small outburst of "I swore I packed more sunscreen!"
- Evening: Grocery shop for essentials. (Wine. Chocolate. Cheese. Repeat.) Then, collapse with exhaustion. Maybe attempting a proper Austrian dinner at a local Gasthof, or, more realistically, ordering pizza and watching whatever mind-numbing thing is on the telly. God, I love pizza.
- Quirky Observation: The air in the Alps is different. Sharper. Cleaner. Like, your lungs suddenly remembers how to breathe. It's both invigorating and a little unnerving. Like you're being judged by the clouds.
Day 2: Mountain Madness and Mandatory Mistakes
- Morning: Hike! Or, well, attempt to hike. I'm notoriously bad at this. Will likely overestimate my fitness level and end up lagging behind the entire group, wheezing like a dying walrus.
- The Mountain Experience Doubled Down: I plan to conquer the Muttersberg mountain. I envision myself, breezy and beautiful, summiting with ease. The reality? Probably more like sweaty, grumpy, and stopping every five minutes to take a photo of a flower because I need a break. But the views… they better be spectacular. If not, I’m blaming the weather gods.
- Anecdote: Once, on a "relaxing" mountain picnic, a flock of crows stole our entire lunch. EVERYTHING. The cheese, the bread, the precious, precious sausage. We were left with nothing but crumbs and existential questions about the true meaning of life. Lesson learned: never trust a bird with a shiny beak.
- Afternoon: After our arduous hike, we will, hopefully, head down to the mountain, and possibly explore the village. I'm envisioning charming shops, cute bakeries, and, of course, more chocolate. It's a crucial part of the "surviving the Alps" strategy.
- Evening: Dinner. Maybe we'll learn to ski, or at least attempt to. I’m not the most graceful person on skis, and I fully expect to spend a significant portion of the day flat on my face. I'm hoping to avoid any major bodily injuries. But let's be honest, odds are not in my favor here.
- Emotional Reaction: If it snows, it’s pure joyful chaos. If it doesn't, it's still pretty amazing. The mountains have a way of making you feel small but also incredibly alive. Even when you're covered in snow and crying because you fell… again.
- Opinionated Language: The only reason for attempting to ski is the afterski.
Day 3: Water, Wine, and a Little Bit of Worry
- Morning: Head to a local lake. I love swimming, but I will probably hate the water. It will definitely be cold. (I’m not a fan of being cold. At all.)
- Messier Structure: Somewhere in the afternoon, we’ll explore more of the town. Maybe go to a spa. Or maybe just wander around, getting lost and finding hidden gems. The beauty of a vacation is that you can do what you want, whenever you want.
- Anecdote: My partner once decided to take a "relaxing" dip in a freezing lake. He emerged looking approximately the same color as a sheet of paper and swore he’d never be warm again. He also swore a lot. I laughed until I nearly choked.
- Afternoon/Evening: Wine tasting! Because, Alps. And wine is good. And sometimes you just need to stare at the mountains and contemplate the meaning of… well, whatever.
- Emotional Reaction: Wine makes me happy. Mountains make me happy. Combined… well, it's probably going to be a little messy. And it’s going to be glorious.
- Opinionated Language: Wine tasting is basically an exercise in pretending you know something about wine. I don’t.
Day 4: Adios, Austria (and Possibly, My Sanity)
- Morning: Pack. This process will involve a frantic search for missing items, a moment of "did I even use this?" pondering, and a general feeling of impending doom.
- Transportation: Train/Bus to Zurich Airport.
- Anecdote: At the last airport, they lost luggage. I hope this doesn't happen again.
- Afternoon: Fly out!
- Emotional Reaction: Sadness. But mostly, the relief of knowing I'll be back in my own bed soon, and that I have tons of photos to remember this holiday I'll never forget.
- Opinionated Language: Leaving is the worst. But also, coming home is kind of awesome.
Okay, that's it. My attempt at an itinerary. It's messy, it's probably incomplete, and it's guaranteed to deviate wildly from reality. But hey, that's the beauty of travel, isn't it? The unexpected moments, the hilarious mishaps, the memories you'll carry with you long after you've unpacked your bags. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a mountain to (maybe) climb. Wish me luck (and send chocolate).
Escape to Bliss: Turkey's Hidden Gem in India's Himalayas
So, You're Thinking About Schruns... and This Apartment? Right On! (Let's Get Messy With It)
Okay, Real Talk: What Actually *Is* "Luxury" in Schruns? Like, Does it Mean Gold-Plated Plumbing?
Alright, let's ditch the brochure speak. "Luxury" in the Austrian Alps isn't about flashing your cash (though, let's be honest, you do need a bit of it!). It's more about... space. And views. And not having to share a bathroom with a family of eight who are ALL trying to shower after a day of skiing. (Been there, done that, got the frostbite on my soul.)
This apartment, from what I *gather* (I haven't personally, you know, *lived* there yet…dreaming, planning, plotting!), seems to deliver. Think high-end finishes, likely a killer kitchen (essential for après-ski feasts!), and, crucially, *space*. Two bedrooms? That’s a *dream* for a family needing breathing room or, you know, a couple who can't stand each other’s snoring. And the views? Well, Schruns *does* do spectacular. Expect mountains. Mountains everywhere. Prepare to feel ridiculously small and insignificant… in the best possible way.
Seriously, Is It *Really* Near the Ski Slopes? 'Cause I'm Not Walking Up a Mountain in Ski Boots. No. Just No.
Ugh, the ski-boot-walk of shame. I feel your pain. (And my aching ankles). This is where the devil's in the details, and often, the descriptions get vague. "Close proximity" could mean a five-minute drive, or a twenty-minute, uphill struggle in the bus. The listing *should* specify. My advice? *DRILL DOWN*. Ask for exact distances to the lifts, and if there's a shuttle, find out the frequency and how crowded it gets. Because if you spend more time hoofing it than actually *skiing*, that "luxury" is officially a lie.
My *perfect* scenario? A ski locker at the lift station. Dreamy. Otherwise, proximity to a *good* bus stop is key. And maybe, just maybe, a heated boot warmer in the apartment... (Wishful thinking? Probably.)
What About the Kitchen? Because, Food. And Wine. Important Things.
Listen, the kitchen is the heart of any good vacation. I've stayed in places that claimed to have "fully equipped kitchens" only to find a rusty can opener and one blunt knife. It's a betrayal, I tell you! Ask about appliances. Is there a dishwasher? (A godsend after a fondue night!) A decent oven? (For those late-night pizza cravings). A coffee machine that isn't from the stone age? (Essential. Seriously.)
I remember once, in a gorgeous chalet in Switzerland… beautiful views, amazing fireplace, BUT THE KITCHEN. Oh, the kitchen. It was like cooking in a museum exhibit. Everything was pristine, but utterly *useless*. Ended up eating cold cuts and cheese plates for a week. A tragedy, I tell you, a total, cheesy tragedy. So, kitchen pictures are your *friend*. And question marks are, too. Ask about every single damn appliance.
I'm Traveling with Kids. Is This Place "Kid-Friendly," or "Kid-Screaming-In-The-Hallway-Friendly"?
Ah, the age-old question. Kid-friendly can mean anything from "a high chair" to "the whole resort is designed like a giant playground." Again, *details*. Do they have a crib? (Or do you have to haul your own mountain of baby gear?) Is there a playground nearby? A swimming pool? (Because all kids love a pool, even in the middle of winter.)
I once stayed in a "family-friendly" hotel that advertised a kids' club. Turns out, the "club" was a dusty room with three chipped crayons and a grumpy teenager. My kids were *mortified*. So, ask specific questions. Where will the kids sleep?, what kind of options will they have for food?, is there a TV in the room?, will it be safe and secure?, or just to avoid that kind of situation altogether plan with the whole family in mind! It's worth it to have some relaxation time.
What's the Deal with Parking? Because Driving in the Alps Sounds... Scary.
Okay, let's be honest. Driving in the Alps can be a white-knuckle experience, especially if there's snow. (And in winter, there *will* be snow.) Parking is EVERYTHING. Find out whether parking is included, and if so, is it covered? Do you have your own dedicated spot, or are fighting for space with a bunch of equally stressed-out tourists? Is it easy access, or does it involve a death-defying maneuver on an icy, switchback road?
I'll never forget the time in Chamonix. Beautiful chalet, stunning views, but the parking...Oh, the parking. It was a narrow, downhill nightmare requiring a level of precision I simply don't possess. Ended up in a ditch, with a very grumpy French guy yelling at me. So, yeah. Parking. *Vital*. Pay extra for a good parking situation. Trust me on this one.
Can I Bring My Furry Friend? I Can't Leave My Dog at Home. Seriously.
Bless you. Bringing your dog on vacation is the best. You need to *explicitly* ask about pets. Some places are dog-friendly (hallelujah!), some are not. And if they *are*, what are the rules? Are there any restrictions on breed/size (rude!)? Is there a pet fee? Are there good dog-walking routes nearby? (Because, trust me, even luxury apartments need walks.)
I once got caught out, *thinking* a place was pet-friendly, only to arrive and face a very disapproving host and a very long drive back home. It was the worst! So, absolutely make sure this is crystal clear. Don't assume. Ask, and get it in writing if possible.
What's the Cancellation Policy? Because Life Happens, and Sometimes You Just Can't Go.
The dreaded fine print. Read it CAREFULLY. Cancellation policies can make or break your trip. What happens if you get sick? (COVID taught us that lesson, didn't it?) What if the lifts are closed due to bad weather? Can you get a refund? A partial refund? Or are you just SOL, staring sadly at your skis?
I once booked a beautiful place in Italy, then got seriously ill the week before. The non-refundable policy was brutalWhere To Sleep In
