Luxury and beauty between mountains and lake
We had a very relaxing and happy week in Schwangau in this lovely apartment. You really can see the famous Neuschwanstein castle (which inspired Disneyland) from the balcony and from one of the windows. The apartment is very spacious, luxurious and well-equipped, with lovely views of the Alps. The furnishings and decorations seemed new, and everything was clean.
Schwangau itself is an attractive village which contains lots of amenities for visitors, including restaurants, shops and two supermarkets. It's an easy walk to the Forggensee lake, up to the castles, or to the Tegelberg cable-car, which is the quickest way up into the mountains. There are also lots of paths suitable for cycling, and shops which rent out bikes. It's a quiet place, but there is plenty to do.
The owner was very friendly and helpful when we arrived. He gave us his mobile phone number to use if we had any problems, which we didn't. The only negative thing I can think of about the whole experience is that he and his staff were slow to reply to emails before we arrived.
This is a very memorably beautiful place, and we had a great time. I would not hesitate to recommend it.
