Why we love it
The setting
Hotel & Spa Der Steirerhof is located on the slopes of Bad Waltersdorf, in the gentle green landscape of Eastern Styria. Vineyards, meadows and forests surround the hotel grounds, and the pool terrace overlooks the surrounding hills. The spa town is known for its thermal springs, and the hotel has a pool and wellness area that utilises these springs. The hotel is not in the city centre but in a quiet rural setting, so the focus is on relaxation rather than sightseeing in the immediate area.
What to expect
The package for 2 nights includes breakfast each morning. Rooms are comfortable doubles with a sitting area and views of the garden or hills. The main attraction is the spa: it has a thermal pool, an outdoor pool with hill views, a sauna and a room for quiet relaxation. There is a restaurant and a terrace overlooking the garden. Here you'll find time to relax, plenty of space to unwind between treatments or while swimming, and the green surroundings make the walk back from the pool part of the holiday.
Things to do nearby
If you want to go beyond the hotel grounds, a few minutes' drive takes you to the village of Bad Waltersdorf with its public thermal baths. The surrounding area is good for cycling and hiking through the vineyards. Graz, the regional capital, is about 46 km away and suits a day trip to see the old town, the hilltop clock tower and the cathedral. Most guests, though, make the hotel itself their destination and only leave to explore the surrounding lanes and wine taverns.
Best for
Ideal for couples after a wellness break with thermal pools, breakfast included and a green, rural setting away from the crowds. Also good for anyone happy to spend most of their stay on site.
