Karen's Review Of This Property:

The Villa Mellon, a picture perfect, chalet-style villa tucked in the gentle hills above Kitzbühel, was built by the Earl von Seilern. It was later purchased as a summer home by the Mellons, an American family who made their wealth in banking. The property is now leased by your gracious hostess, Herta Scheiterbauer, who fell in love with the villa, restored it to its original beauty, and opened it as a small hotel. In low season, breakfast only is served, but in high season dinner is also available. From the exterior, Villa Mellon seems to be a private home and inside the warmth of a home prevails. The rooms are decorated throughout with antique furnishings, fine paintings, fresh flowers, and gilt mirrors. There are a series of intimate lounges, a cozy library, a dining room overlooking the garden, and a sunny breakfast room. A staircase leads up to the pretty, individually decorated guestrooms. One of my favorites, number 5, is especially spacious and has two large casement windows overlooking the garden and out to the hills beyond. The guestrooms on the top floor are smaller but also very attractive. In summer there is an additional bonus: behind the villa there is a large garden with a lush lawn that is rimmed with mature trees and highlighted by an inviting, oval swimming pool. From the villa, it is about a 15-minute pleasant stroll down a small path to the center of Kitzbühel, one of Austria’s most beautiful villages.
