Birkeneck 1 (DG), castle view dream holiday apartment

Loved the place! Gorgeous gorgeous accommodations and communication with the host was great. We would definitely come back!

Lovely apartment but somewhat remote We booked this place because you can see the castle out the window. The apartment itself was great, although looking at the listing it shows photos of all three apartments so it was difficult to identify exactly which one we would be staying in. It didn’t really matter because we were there to see the castles! The key pick up wasn’t super easy, you have to go to a totally different town in the opposite direction from Fussen or Horn-Schwangau where the apartment is. I would suggest getting code locks on the doors so guests can bypass having to go out of the way to pick them up. The owner was great to communicate with but the property manager was spotty in responses. The apartment is a bit remote, with really not a lot of shops etc right around it. The closest bus stop was over 1km away, which would have been okay if we didn’t have only 75 year old mother in tow. It was even further to walk the closest grocery store. I would definitely recommend a car if you are going to stay here if anyone in your group has mobility issues. We did go to the thermal baths across the field on eafternoon and that was lovely, just note, clothing is optional in certain areas so keep that in mind so you aren’t shocked. Final note, the washing machine is not in the apartment, it’s downstairs in the basement, wonderful to have access to but there wasn’t clear details on where it was located so we had to do some investigating to locate it ourselves. Overall, beautiful beautiful location but just a bit more remote than we were expecting.
