Since our children live abroad we decided to spend this Christmas at the Larimar Hotel and Spa in Burgenland with friends. Wow what an amazing experience. Our hosts Johann and Daniela and all the wonderful staff created a delightful Christmas special that included a hike to the local village where we were guests of the mayor ( there is also a pure spring water shrine that has been providing fresh water for over 300 hundred years). There were evening concerts and special treats (like Kaiserschmarrn, champagne and Gluhwein) and a special Christmas feast. One cannot go hungry at Larimar. The food is spectacular starting with the endless morning buffet to the gourmet evening cuisine. The staff are extremely friendly and go out of their way to make sure your stay is pleasurable. The spa area is very functional with spa pools and seating areas set up to make sure each guest is special. I really like the fact that there was ample and various quiet areas to relax, read or sleep. No need to rush to reserve your chair, there were always great lounges available. The various pools never seemed overcrowded and that added to the relaxing atmosphere of enjoying the warm water as the mist rose up into the frosty air. There are an array of spa treatments and saunas to please very want. We also enjoyed many leisurely walks in the rolling Stegersbach countryside. Our comfortable room included a huge balcony that accommodated lounge chairs and a patio set that greeted the morning sun and had panoramic views of the rolling countryside and the snow capped mountains in the distance. I cannot say enough about the overwhelming hospitality and hands on care that Johann and Daniela treat all their guests. We will definitely return to Larimar for another relaxing and pampered stay.

Overall: very relaxing, hotel area clean, friendly staff, good food. Can recommend for a stay. Very attentive staff, very good massages/treatments. Cannot comment on saunas. Thermal water area is not very big and can get a touch crowded when busy (note that this is the same in the vast majority of natural spring thermal resorts however!), the sport swimming pool is huge, and phantastic! Restaurant food solid, only niggle was that the sald choice a touch weak and at a bit repetitive, but minor niggle. Lots of areas to sit down in the hotel. Would not hesitate to visit again for a relaxing stay without being in an overly stuffy hotel.
