When the heat slowly dies down and the sun unfolds its full power one more time, it's time for a late summer vacation to recharge your batteries for the cold season. Located directly on Lake Wörthersee on the sun-drenched southern side of the Alps between palm trees and the magical backdrop of the Austrian mountains, the Falkensteiner Schlosshotel Veldenis the perfect destination for a last-minute trip late in the season. And if you prefer the good life in bella Italia, the Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Jesolo is just the place to check in. 

Schlosshotel Velden: Noble and stylish

Even from a distance, the signature yellow of the famed Schlosshotel Velden on the western shore of Lake Wörthersee beckons like something out of a fairy tale. Its castle-like character, combined with luxurious details and historical grandeur, makes this very special hotel dignified, heartwarming and inviting. Its elegance extends through the rooms and suites where the finest marble meets exquisite fabrics and continues through its multiple award-winning restaurants, which feature slow food from the region and Japanese influences.

The wellness areas "Acquapura Spa & Slow.Living" are refreshingly modern and catch the eye with stark colors, hip shapes and patterns combining for a playful, boho flair. Slow Living is the name of the game here, which also applies to the outdoor terrace by the lake around the "Seespitz" restaurant: the laid-back vibe oozes beach club feeling and Caribbean flair – right in the Alps. It's the perfect place to soak up the sun and take a dip in the heated lake water pool.
