PARKHOTEL PORTSCHACH
We have found this truly lovely part of the world to be culturally quite unique. The people here combine a remarkably Swiss-like efficiency while, as Carinthia borders both Italy and Slovenia, combining the warmth of the Italians, with the innocent charm of the Slovenians.

Portschach is a delightful little town, with many sophisticated shops, cafes, and restaurants, alt within comfortable walking distance of the hotel The Parkhotel Portschach is situated directly on the shores of the spectacular Lake Worthersee, in its own magnificent 40,000 square metre private park. Each of the superbly appointed bedrooms has a stunning lake view towards the Karawenken mountains and beyond. All rooms are en suite with bath/shower, satellite TV, safe, mini-bar, and telephone, and the hotel is noted throughout the region for its fine cuisine and excellent service; indeed the hotel has a delightful restaurant at the lakeside which offers an excellent choice of dishes at surprisingly reasonable prices.

The sports enthusiast will be spoilt for choice; there is an excellent indoor swimming pool - a hot whirlpool - superb tennis courts - a private putting green, and a multiplicity of water sports available from the Sports Centre. There are no less than 6 championship golf courses within easy reach of the hotel.

 


SOUTHERN AUSTRIA - CARINTHIA
The attractive peninsula of Portschach, has an enviable reputation amongst ramblers, golfers and yachtsmen alike. This is a unique natural parkland; whose timeless elegance, breathtaking scenery together with the crystal clear waters of the lake form a perfect foil to the awesome Alps beyond.

The area is a walker's paradise, whether ones preference is just to stroll along the lakeside, or to venture into the more spectacular nearby mountainous areas. Should walking prove too strenuous, the hotel provides the free loan of bicycles from just outside the front door!

The historic provincial capital of Klagenfurt is 30 minutes away at the head of the lake, and the model village of Minimundus is well worth a visit. Slightly further afield, the beautiful Lake Bled in Slovenia is a marvellous venue for a day trip.
