Ruhig gelegen, etwas ausserhalb des Zentrums von Franz Josef Glacier, das in ca. 5 Autominuten erreicht werden kann. Die Villas wirken nicht mehr absolut frisch, sind aber gut eingerichtet und bieten äusserst viel Platz. Das Hotelpersonal war überaus freundlich und hat uns tolle Tipps für unseren Aufenthalt in Franz Josef Glacier gegeben.
