An energetic, extremely positive, creative soul who loves life and nature.It was my love of nature and the great outdoors that brought me to Austria many years ago. I’ve lived here since 2006 and married the love of my life, Benedikt in 2011. We now have two beautiful and lively boys, Vinzenz and Artur.I am very blessed to have such a wonderful family and a beautiful home.A question I am often asked  by my English friends and family. If I’m still amazed every morning when I wake up and look at the breathtaking view of the Lofer mountain range, which looks directly over our house. There is only one clear answer to that question.  Yes, of course! We really have a beautiful home and are extremely lucky to have such breathtaking views and surroundings. Austria is a very beautiful country.

I miss home and my English family greatly. But, I have a wonderful life in Austria and I am very happy here in the Alps with my family. I am very much looking forward to welcoming you to our Hilltop apartment

Lieve Laura, 7 augustus 2022 hadden we onze vakantie voor 27 augustus tot 10 sebtember 2023 in jouw hilltop appartement geboekt, wat we toevallig tegen kwamen, op internet. Maar het wachten heeft zich geloond, na 2 dagen omarmt het appartement je. Het is warm door de gezellige ingerichte kamers, wat je thuis hebt is hier ook, wat je niet hebt is hier ook. De in overvloed beschikbare buiten ruimtes zijn top, en van alle gemakken voorzien. Voor alle leeftijden. Tot aan een super Barbecue. Vanuit je privé tuin heb je 360° uitzicht over de bergen. Lover is een prachtige gemeente, met een groot aanbod aan restaurants, winkels. Bergliften voor de deur, en goede busverbindingen. Maar het ♥ van hilltop is toch Laura, niets is haar teveel. Bedankt voor onze mooie tijd bij jullie

Liebe Laura und Familie, im November 2022 waren wir für eine Woche zu Gast im Hilltop Appartement. Das Wetter hat alles geboten, Regen, Nebel, Schnee und Sonne man konnte die Berge in allen Jahreszeiten bewundern. Das Auto durfte sich auch ausruhen, für Wanderungen auf Almen, spektakuläre Schluchten und sanfte Hügel war es nicht nötig, alles ist zu Fuß erreichbar. Nach unseren Wanderungen lud das perfekt eingerichtete Ferienhaus zum Verweilen ein. Der tolle Ausblick in alle Himmelsrichtungen und die Ruhe hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Schnell war man zu Fuß im Zentrum von Lofer. Brötchenservice und Eier von glücklichen Hühnern rundeten unseren Urlaub ab. Liebe Grüße Udo und Viola

Liebe Laura und Familie, Anfang Juni 2022 waren wir eine gute Woche im Hilltop Appartment. Wir haben uns in Eurem gemütlichen und mit viel Liebe eingerichteten Ferienhaus sehr wohl gefühlt. Insbesondere hat uns die gefundene Ruhe und auch der schöne Garten mit tollem Ausblick sehr gut gefallen. So gut, dass wir kurze Zeit später zuhause direkt einen neuen Termin für das kommende Jahr gebucht haben. Es hat uns an Nichts gefehlt und auch der morgendliche Brötchen-Service und die Frühstückseier von glücklichen Hühnern waren perfekt – besser geht es nicht. Von uns gibt es daher 5 von 5 Sternchen. Auch wurden wir von Euch und Eurem charmanten Kater stets freundlich gegrüßt, so dass wir uns schon jetzt auf das kommende Jahr bei Euch freuen. Wir wünschen Dir und Deiner Familie alles Gute. Bis bald & viele liebe Grüße

Liebe Laura! Meine Familie und ich haben vergangene Woche unseren Sommerurlaub bei Euch verbracht. In Eurem Ferienhaus blieben keine Wünsche offen, da alles perfekt und liebevoll ausgestattet ist. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und Du hattest immer ein offenes Ohr für unsere Fragen rund ums wundervolle Saalachtal. Unsere Kinder waren begeistert von Eurem Garten und den täglichen "Besuchern" (Katze und Hahn). Auf jeden Fall werden wir wieder kommen, da eine Woche gar nicht reicht um alle schönen Orte in der Nähe zu erkunden! Jeder der die wundervollen österreichischen Berge liebt, wird sich hier rundum wohlfühlen. Danke Euch für die tolle Zeit!!! Liebe Grüße aus Niederbayern - Britta, Marcus, Leon und Timo ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Wir waren nun schon sehr oft im wunderschönen Hilltop Appartement, keine andere Unterkunft kann hier mithalten. Die Wohnung lässt keine Wünsche offen, sie wurde mit viel Liebe zum Detail und Kreativität eingerichtet und ist super sauber. Es gibt sogar einen kleinen Kiosk, so hat man die Möglichkeit köstliche selbstgemachte Marmeladen, Nudeln, Kräuter und diverse eigens oder in der Familie hergestellte Produkte zu kaufen. Die Gastgeber sind an Herzlichkeit nicht zu übertreffen! Wir sind froh, so ein schönes Plätzchen bei so netten Menschen für uns gefunden zu haben! Wir vergeben 5 von 5 Sternen 🌟

The hilltop apartment is the perfect place to stay for a wonderful holiday in Austria. The apartment itself has everything thing you could possibly need for your stay and is immaculate. It's setting is so lovely and quiet but you are so close to the local town and activities. The local transport is fantastic to connect you with so many local places.

We stayed at this apartment in july as part of our summer vacation. We could not fault anything during our stay with the hospitality we received from the Walcher family. This apartment is ideally situated for walking into the village of Lofer and the gondalas for the ski lifts. The scenery and views are breathtaking and a walkers paradise. Swimming pool in the village was so refreshing during the summer heat. We will return to this apartment in the near future.

We have stayed in Hilltop Appartment several times now on our summer vacation. We would very much like to return for a winter holiday in the future. We always receive a warm and friendly welcome from Benedikt, Laura and Family, who always make our holiday special. It is the perfect location with only a short walk into Lofer itself. The views of the surrounding scenery are spectacular with the magnificent mountains and flowing emerald rivers. There is plenty to do for old and young alike. Benedikt and Laura are very knowledgeable about the local area and are always willing to suggest places of interest to visit, things to do and places to eat. A restaurant called Dankl is one of our favourites. The appartment itself is an idyllic cosy mountain hideaway, with all the amenities you require to be totally self sufficient. This is a perfect holiday appartment which we will return to time and time again.

We Stayed at Hilltop in the Summer of 2018 and have to say everything described in the website is true and more. The location of the apartment in Lofer is unrivalled, the apartment itself becomes part of your holiday and at times there nothing better than to stay in with comfort and the best views around. We will be back to Lofer and Hilltop will be our accommodation of choice everytime. Perfect holiday, perfect accommodation. Perfect host.
