We were looking for a different ski holiday in Austria and came across Kaprun. A beautiful Austrian town with access to 3 great ski areas within a few minutes and other resorts a short drive away - including Kitzbuhl. The apartment (no 6) at the Kitz Residenz was gorgeous. We are a family of 5 (3 teenage kids) with a need for a bit of space. We got that and more. It's a very spacious apartment, beautifully furnished with everything you could possibly want. It is very much a home from home. The mountain in the village is a 3 minute drive, but the main ski area is 10 minutes away on the glacier. Stunning skiing and a view across the Alps to die for. We would wholeheartedly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for great access to different types of skiing and Kaprun offers plenty for everyone too. Lovely restaurants and some good (but not tacky) nightspots.

Excellent apartment with all the facilities we needed for a perfect base for our skiing holiday, ski bus virtually on the doorstep, which takes you to slopes at Kaprun or Zell am see great for skiers of all levels. Brilliant restaurants within walking distance. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in this area.

All I can say is that this was the best holiday we have had as a family to date. We wanted to visit Austria to see the mountains and the lakes and we were not disappointed. The apartment is situated on the outskirts of the village - and is within walking distance of all the amenities - supermarkets, banks, bakeries, restaurants, tourist information. If going in Ski season lots of ski shops too! The apartment is big and airy and well maintained - perfect for our small family of four although would easily take many more. The apartment was well equipped with books, dvds, cds and games for family evenings in. The apartment faces the mountains and many a happy evening were spent on the balcony admiring the view. There were lots and lots of places to visit that were of interest to the children - to name but a few: Safari/Wildlife Park, Ski Lifts up to the Glacier, a fairground type park with a coaster that goes all the way down a mountain, a torch lit tour through the gorge with baked potato and camp fire stories on a Monday evening. There are also lots of beautiful walks for varying abilities- the Tourist Information office were very keen to suggest which were suitable and provide maps. We were there for a week and I am sure there were many things that we missed. The owners for very very helpful prior to travelling, suggesting airlines, car hire, and even which restaurants to eat in. We went equipped with so much local information we didnt feel at all worried. The people in the shops and restaurants were all very friendly and spoke perfect English. Would definitely go back. The views were absolutely stunning and no amount of photos can compare to seeing it for real.

This apartment is in an amazing location in Kaprun with a fantastic view of the mountains. I returned after visiting for the ski season and found it to be just as beautiful, comfortable, roomy and clean in summer as I remembered it was in winter. It has every amenity you could hope for (including a big TV, wifi and DVD collection) and whilst my boyfriend and I stayed in the place by ourselves, it could easily and comfortably fit a family or group.

The building is about a ten minute walk to the nearest supermarket and an easy walk into the centre of Kaprun (which has lots of lovely restaurants and bars) but is just far enough out to be very peaceful and quiet at night, and the beds are very comfy so we had a great night's sleep. There are also several walking trails leading from just behind the building and it is a short drive (or a longer walk) to the Kesselfall, from which you can catch a bus to the top of the glacier where we found some stunning hiking trails.

The apartment is also a short drive from Zel am See and it is a short walk from the front door to the Sigmund Thunn waterfall walk and Klammsee reservoir - which I would also highly recommend.

We had a great stay at the Kitz Residenz. I would recommend it for anyone who enjoys hiking or skiing or to anyone who just wants to chill out and relax in beautiful surroundings!

Rest location just out of town but ideally next to the bus and great access to the glacier.

Superb accomodation - nice to have lots of room.

As this was the first time I had privately booked an apartment for a skiing holiday I was a little nervous. However after speaking to the wonderful owner who made every possible effort to allay any fears and to provide ample information, I was delighted to discover upon arrival that apartment and its location surpassed my expectations
I echo all the positive comments given by previous contributors regarding the apartment and the village of Kaprun.
Mention must be made of the owners fantastic taste in DVDs which were really appreciated after a hard days work on the slopes when the only further exercise we could manage was to reach for the remote control. Also to mention the Annas delightful neighbour who welcome just to the property and insured that we were all setted.
Thank you Paul for a fantastic holiday and we look forward to returning again.
