Millstatt is a beautiful village which sits on a tongue of land out into Lake Millstatt, so when you stay in one of the holiday lettings there you are almost entirely surrounded by water. The woods which come down the mountainside to the very edge of the village and the calm waters of the huge lake give the entire village a quiet peace. The oxygenating properties and the smell of resin from the trees make you feel healthy as you relax in your Millstatt service apartment, before you even think of taking a treatment at one of the spas for which the area is famous.

A great bonus of a stay in a Millstatt apartment rental is that you can go to visit all of the surrounding villages without going on an inch of road. One of the specialities of the area is boat trips on the lake, stopping off at other villages on the far shore. Although some of them are very attractive, none can hold a candle to the church architecture available in Millstatt and in fact many will rent a Millstatt short stay apartment solely to enjoy the churches.

In the village centre is an eleventh century Benedictine monastery, which is now the parish church. Not many villages can boast a church like this, with four enormous Renaissance towers which stand sentinel over the market square. Higher up the slopes out of the village is the church of St Johann Baptist, with an onion dome on top of its tower which can be seen for miles around. Going for a walk from your Millstatt aparthotel, it can be used as a landmark so you never get lost. Further up still is the little pilgrimage church of Our Lady of the Snows, which is a good place to aim for on a reasonably brisk walk. And finally, a little further away, is a church dating from around 600, and its Roman remnants show that it was at its height as Rome fell as an empire.

Although Millstatt is quite small, it shows the history of its glory days as a nineteenth century spa for Austrian nobility in its lovely buildings. The imperial family loved to come here and of course the court came too. You don’t have to be renting a palace, just one of Millstatt’s many serviced residences to feel like royalty when you spend a day indulging in a spa treatment.
