Where Ferienwohnungen Schloss Wasserleonburg is and how to get there
The flats are at Saak 82, in the village of Saak in Carinthia, Austria. The setting is rural and quiet, with mountain scenery around. It is a base for hiking and, in winter, for the ski areas nearby.
Free private parking is on site, and you will want a car. According to the old description, the Waldseilpark Taborhöhe is 37 km away, Landskron castle is 38 km away and Klagenfurt airport is 66 km away. One guest also says the location is a bit hard to find, though very beautiful, so set your navigation before you arrive.
What the apartments are like
These are independent holiday apartments with parquet floors and a private bathroom with shower. Each one has a satellite flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi, and the kitchen is properly equipped with a fridge, oven, microwave, hob, coffee machine and kettle. Guests also mention a dishwasher and a washing machine.
Outside, there is a garden, a terrace and a barbecue area, plus a playground and private parking. Several guests call the flats spacious, clean and cosy, and one points out the new bathrooms. For a self-catering stay, that is the right set of ingredients.
The name points to Schloss Wasserleonburg, but I don't have details on how the apartments relate to the castle itself, so I won't promise a castle experience. Think of it as a quiet holiday-flat complex.
What guests say about the flats in Saak
Google gives the flats 4.4 out of 5 from 17 reviews, and most comments are warm. These are the patterns.
- The quiet and the views. This is the most repeated point, with words like oasis of calm and a beautiful mountain backdrop.
- The space and the kitchen. Several guests mention large, well-equipped apartments with everything needed to cook.
- The grounds. A well-kept property with a lot of green, plenty of room for a dog, and a play area for children.
- Return visits. One guest says they have already stayed twice.
There are some complaints too, and they matter. Several people point at small, practical problems, which I cover in the next section.
What to know before you book
The flats have no air conditioning and, according to one guest, no fly screens. That guest says mosquitoes come in at night, but with the windows closed it gets too hot. If you visit in summer, that is a real thing to think about.
| What works | What to know |
|---|---|
| Quiet, green setting with views | No air conditioning, and no fly screens mentioned by one guest |
| Large flats with full kitchens | One TV that did not work, according to a review |
| Garden, playground, barbecue, free parking | Grounds may be mown early in the morning |
| Dog-friendly space around the property | Location a bit hard to find |
One guest was bothered by a brush cutter mowing the grounds right outside the window early in the morning. Another found the parquet floor in poor condition and felt the listing did not show the flat properly. They are individual experiences, but I would ask the owner which flat you are getting and what it looks like before confirming.
Who the flats are for
I would choose Ferienwohnungen Schloss Wasserleonburg for families with children, couples and anyone who wants a long, quiet week with a kitchen and some garden. Dog owners also seem to like it, thanks to the space around the property.
It is less convincing for light sleepers, for hot summer weeks when you want air conditioning, and for people who prefer a hotel with a reception and a restaurant. This is a self-catering place, so plan to cook.
What to do around Saak
The old description talks about hiking trails and nearby ski areas, which means the area works all year round. For a day out, the Waldseilpark Taborhöhe and Landskron castle are the places it mentions, both a drive away.
If you want to compare with something in another region before deciding, Mapiola also has Hotel & Restaurant AL TRIVIO in San Leonardo. I don't have its details here, so look at its page for the rest.
