Best of Wachau - what does that mean?
Under the Best of Wachau seal of quality, selected hosts who stand for quality out of conviction have joined forces. The common denominator is a high sense of responsibility for service, regional added value and authentic hospitality.

Anyone who chooses a Best of Wachau award-winning establishment is making a conscious choice: for reliability, for attitude and for enjoyable experiences with meaning.
