The cosy and familiar 4-star hotel in Wildschönau
Hotel Sonnschein
Hello, and welcome to our website. What you can expect from us: a cosy 4-star hotel with a lot of charm and friendliness. Arrive and feel right at home - that is our philosophy. Thanks to Emily Thaler, the hostess, you can handle this warmth in the whole house. Feeling good in the rooms, which are all generously laid out, or in the hotel park with an outdoor pool is easy. In summer, head out into nature, up the mountains, on foot or by train—excursions to neighbouring villages like Kitzbühel or Rattenberg. Or "chill out" in the garden. A holiday just the way you want it - alone, as a couple or with the family. There is so much to explore, discover, hike, and marvel at. We look forward to welcoming you to your new holiday home.
