My last day in Austria (May 8, 2008) had arrived – or so I thought. Early in the morning I said a sad goodbye to my brother and sister-in-law and started my drive towards the City of Salzburg, from where I was going to fly to London. I drove on the highway through the high mountains of Upper Styria and exited at Liezen to link up with one of Austria’s most picturesque areas: the Salzkammergut, also known as the location for many of the scenes from the world famous movie “Sound of Music”. I drove past the imposing limestone mountain of Grimming through the village of Bad Aussee to one of Austria’s most well-known mountain villages: Hallstatt, settled since pre-historic times, is located on the shores of the lake of the same name and patched against steep mountains that are known for their salt deposits. Salt has been mined here since pre-historic times, and many civilizations have left their traces in this region. Images of Hallstatt are famous throughout the world. I stopped off in the picturesque village of St. Wolfgang, located on another one of the beautiful Alpine lakes that dot the region. Driving past another popular resort town called St. Gilgen I made my way towards Salzburg, Mozart’s birth town and one of Austria’s most famous tourist destinations. I had about 3 hours to explore Salzburg, so I took a walk in the old city centre and hiked up to the Mönchsberg which features the largest fortress castle in Central Europe, the imposing Castle of Hohensalzburg …

Hotel Hilton Sorrento Palace; sorrento hotels review. We usually love Hilton hotels worldwide, but seriously doubt how Hilton Sorrento palace in Italy ever became Hilton member. Look at the video and see how an upgraded room looks like and judge for yourself. This is a Hilton Sorrento palace review for October 2010. We booked Hilton Sorrento palace, Italy as our regular European hotels review. We thought it would be useful to show that one to other. Bad things about Hilton Sorrento palace The overall impression of the room looked like a budget hotel. Cheap and ordinary room ambiance Old flea market style chairs with covers on them to make them look nicer Small safe with a key in the fridge Thin walls enabling one to share his /hers life with other rooms Closed indoor pool Dirty walls Dirty balcony floor Unfriendly staff (excluding one or two receptionists) that serves you every day but keep ignoring you. Managers coming your way and ignoring you. Looks like a policy at the hotel. Good things about Hilton Sorrento palace: Breakfast was surprisingly rich The receptionist was nice The concierge (only one of them) was very helpful Reasonable price Free parking next to hotel Conclusion review of Hilton Sorrento palace Italy: If you are used to Hilton level worldwide, you should not expect much when booking the Hilton at Sorrento Italy. We can’t understand how this hotel with its facilities ever became a member of Hilton hotels, even if it is only a four star hotel. Our …
