The Familiengut Burgstaller.
Holiday & discover naturally.
Adventure. Pleasure. Free space. Families.

History & Hosts

The Familiengut Burgstaller in Döbriach has been combining tradition with modernity for centuries - a unique interplay of hotel, farm and agriculture with alpine pasture. A world of nature, adventure, relaxation and enjoyment for families, couples and friends is created on 30,000 m². Here, close to Lake Millstätter See in Carinthia, you can feel the connection with nature and the region in every moment.

The roots of the Famiiengut go back over 500 years. Once a small farm on Lake Millstätter See, the estate has developed over generations into a sustainable, nature-loving place. Today, the Burgstaller family continues to preserve the tradition and combines it with the advantages of a comfortable 4-star hotel. This harmony of past and future makes the Burgstaller family estate a very special holiday home.

Nature clearly takes centre stage everywhere here - a fascinating world of its own awaits in the 30,000 m² garden of the family hotel with the Adventure Horse Farm, the Animal Village with petting zoo, the hotel's two tennis courts, the mini golf course and the large playground. What's more, the Lake Millstätter See is very close by and the Nockberge mountains are right on the doorstep - for numerous sporting and relaxing moments in the fresh air. An ideal place for your holiday on our estate in Carinthia. We look forward to your enquiry.

Innovation & tradition

The special thing about the Familiengut Burgstaller in Carinthia is that the combination of modern hotel and farm is also a valuable combination of tradition and future. In the historic estate, whose sun-tanned old wooden beams tell of many decades past, we work in the stables and in the fields as we did in the past: with our own hands. In the spirit of sustainability, we do everything we can ourselves, because our Familiengut stands for natural, ecological farming in harmony with nature. We also operate our own power station and wood chip heating system. The present is the future.

Barbara Burgstaller

"In nature. With nature. From nature. We live in the cycle of nature. Our Familiengut has been run for many generations (since 1475), first as a farm and agriculture, and later as a hotel. We live our culture and tradition and put a lot of heart and attention into ensuring that our guests have a great time."

Estate life.

In, from & with & the nature

The Familiengut offers countless opportunities to experience nature up close: From the garden playground and the Animal Village to the Adventure Horse Farm and the estate's two tennis courts. Children in particular will experience a holiday as it should be - with puddle jumping, haymaking, tractor rides and lots of free space. The kitchen spoils our guests with home-grown produce, straight from the farm and herb garden to the plate.

‘Our sustainability is not an artificially created world, but a genuine tradition that has been practised for centuries. We have remained down-to-earth and run our business with heart and innovative strength - but that is exactly what our guests appreciate: that our Familiengut remains original and does not become a modern castle of beds. Natural and genuine.’
