Enjoy the grilling evenings in our traditional wooden gazebo and in winter in our Grillhouse (finnish Grillkota)...

A great playground with a tree house, a lot of animals to pet (goats, rabbits, cows, our dog Tina, pigs, chicken), horse riding on our horse Simone, a lot of space to play and daily programs in the stable like feeding animals, looking for eggs - this offers action for children. Weekly guided hikes to the Saalhof alp pasture are popular among our guests.

Farm stay: Altogether 80 cattle and calves, 20 of which are milk cows, pigs, our goats Loisi with her fawn, chicken, our rabbits, our horse Simone, cats and our dog Tina play on our farm. Our rabbits Flecki and Punkti look forwarding to being pet and they look forward to fresh dandelions. At least once a week (as desired), we have horse riding for children with professional guides on our well behaved horse Simone. For good riders, you can go riding on our path networks at all times! During the summer, the cows come to the stable around 5:00 PM for milking and feeding; the farmers like it when people help and if they bring hay into the stable (for goats, rabbits, cows and the horse Simone) or feeding the calves... Right on arrival, there is a guide through the farm and stable with a lot of opportunities to get to know people and animals.

Our alpine pasture: Once a week in July and August, we have an excursion to our alpine pasture with about a 1-hour hike to the upper pasture at 1700 m: 100 cattle and 10 horses graze here. A lot of mushrooms and 'Schwammerl' can be found here starting in August and above all, during the Indian Summer in September and October! The farmer Kathrin would be happy to show you a few places! Those who want to dive into the original life of the farmers 200 years ago and want to live in harmony with nature for a little bit will feel comfortable in the atmosphere of the upper alpine pasture next to the kettle and butter churner. Visiting the upper pasture allows for a thrilling trip in time to the past....

Our garden terrace and playground: : The garden area consists of a terrace, mountain fountain, fountain hutch with spring water and gazebo, grill. Our well-kept garden area, the play lawn and the playground with a tree house, bridge, 2 swings, 1 slide, a climbing tree, a basketball basket and a sandbox is completely enclosed. Thus, parents can sunbathe or read a book without any worries... The highlight is our lying climbing tree: in the front with the head of the dragon from the
never-ending Story and in the back a dragon tail! The dragon is great to ride! The beautiful gazebo invites you to have cosy grill nights during nice summer evenings. A BBQ is available.

A wonderful place!
It was amazing to stay in such a historic and unique place. Perfect for our family to have their own space with kitchen, it made it very relaxing for everyone. The sauna was a big hit with the family as well. The host family is absolutely wonderful and very helpful. Being able to get fresh milk from the cows there on the property was very nice as well.

Awesome holiday with friends
We were a group of 17 people who enjoyed a brilliant holiday at this castle. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is equipped with all modern appliances. The castle is so nice that we spent one entire day in the garden just enjoying the property and having a barbeque. The hosts are very, very helpful, we were welcomed warmly with a homemade schnapps drink and they also helped us setup the fire for the bbq. The best part of this castle is the availability of fresh milk every morning. We loved it and it reminded us of home back in India. The castle is located about 4 km away from Zell am See, there are bus connections from nearby or take a lovely walk through Masihofen. They also have a local products like Pine and Walnut Schnapps, honey and various jams. There are a ton of activities that can be done around the area. Overall, a lovely place to stay, highly recommended.

Skiferien im wunderschönen Schloss Saalhof
Sehr schöne 5 Tage im wunderschönen Schloss Saalfeld. Sauna, Top Sauberkeit, Flair und alles super schön. Wir waren 17 Personen und hatten alle Apartments im Schloss gebucht, es war eine schöne Zeit. Wir waren zum Skifahren in 10 Minuten entfernten Saalbach da. Das Grillen im Pavillon ist sehr zu empfehlen. Wir freuen uns auf das nächste Mal.

Lovely property with great character.
My family and I stayed here for 4 nights for a winter break. We absolutely loved it - The rooms were cosy, the BBQ was beautiful and the owners were very attentive. The location is great (around 10 mins from the ski school). Would definitely recommend. Georgina
