Der Böglerhof - pure nature spa resort

In this review I’m going to talk about the fine dining and the new spa First the fine dining you can or have 2/5/7 courses of some of the finest food around Alpbach My 7 course menu was with out fish as I don’t eat it Greetings from the kitchen 3 small dishes that were unbelievable in taste and looks Then Mushroom mousse with beetroot. Very very nice Next was Medallion of veal. Sucking pig Sirloin melt in the mouth Lastly Churd cheese dumpling Followed by a sweet gift from the chef Hank’s Treichl. An outstanding chef winner of awards. If you’re staying or not. Do try the tasting menu. Now the spa. In a word WOW the thought that has gone into this is amazing I have not put pic up as it would spoil the sparse the walk from the hotel to it is a joy the colours for-me the lighting were outstanding. As usual the rest of the hotel food staff are all up to the now 5 stars it’s has and should have . I traveled with INGHAMS please give it a try.

Another heavenly fortnight being cossetted at the Boglerhof Hotel in the village of Alpbach. We enjoy the walks around the area and find new routes every time we visit. This holiday began at the end of August's summer sunshine and ended in autumn's first mists and snowfall. It was magical seeing the seasons switch in the mountains from the comfort of a Sonnjoch room on the 4th flour. As always the service and the food are very good. We ate from the Austrian menu most nights. The meat and fish dishes are particularly good and are beautifully presented. A lot of care goes into the menus. Breakfasts are consistently good and we were pleased to see that the range of seeds, nuts, fruits for Bircher museli fans has been expanded. We enjoy using the vegetable juicer and the fresh orange juice machine. This year we noticed they provide Hausbrot sourdough loaves from the local bakery. Delicious! The new spa is spacious and well equipped. We used the new communal areas to swim and sauna most afternoons. The separate treatments, facial and hot stone massage, were good. The young saunameister was very talented with his twice daily event saunas - lovely herbal scents and light shows. It would be great to add further events with classical music and ambient sounds. On a couple of afternoons I used the old spa area (now called called the family spa) which was wonderfully quiet and relaxing. We can honestly say we felt ten years younger by the time we returned to the UK!

Always staying here a few times a year, sometimes with the family and kids and sometimes alone. There is nothing you could wish for here! Great rooms, the spa is amazing and has so much to offer for both adults and kids, summer or winter. Outstanding service and all the staff are very friendly and caring and always greet you with a smile.

This is a really lovely hotel in beautiful Alpbach. Traditional in the very best sense of the word – individual, family run and oozing quality and style. We had a lovely spacious “Sonnjoch“ room ( 254 - may be better view on higher floors). The new spa and pools area is absolute fantastic, the location just beautiful. Excellent activity programme available, thoroughly recommend guided walks with Andreas, and all staff so friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was amazing, loved afternoon cakes (or more) time, and evening meals very good and presentation excellent, though occasionally lacking a little in flavour. Travelled with Inghams, also highly recommended. Brilliant holiday – very much hope to return.

I first stayed in the Böglerhof twenty years ago and loved it back then. I have seen it evolve over the years into the most outstanding hotel I have ever had the pleasure to stay in. The new adults only Pure Nature Spa is an absolute delight and I particularly enjoyed the very large swimming lake in which I could really work out whilst admiring the extensive mountain views. As a pescatarian, the dinner menu is superb, offering a fish main course plus an imaginative vegetarian main course in addition to a meat dish each evening. In so many hotels, the vegetarian food on offer feels like an afterthought but not here. People of every culinary preference are well catered for with plenty of choices. As someone with a sweet tooth, the weekly dessert buffet is to die for. The staff are professional and friendly; I am greeted warmly every time I return. The Duftner family who own the hotel are excellent hoteliers who give exceptional service and continue to maintain high standards. I am looking forward to returning in the future.

Two of us went for what we booked as a fixed course dinner. Very confusing as menu had individual courses priced but no fixed menu price. Shambolic uninformative service. Mediocre food at spectacular prices. Plain salad from buffet. Microscopic starter, adequate main and tasteless ice cream self served from buffet. Two drinks. 120 euro. You can do very much better in this pretty village.
