Ferienwohnung Mair

Ferienwohnung Mair Overview

First Impressions

Honestly, when I first pulled up to Ferienwohnung Mair, I wasn’t expecting much from what looked like a simple Alpine building. But you know what? Sometimes the best places are the ones that don’t try too hard to impress you from the outside. This three-star property sits quietly in Götzens, just outside Innsbruck, and there’s something refreshingly authentic about the whole setup. The fact that there’s parking right on site immediately put me at ease — anyone who’s tried to navigate Austrian mountain towns with a rental car knows what a relief that is.

Location That Actually Works

I mean, Götzens isn’t exactly a household name, but that’s sort of the point. You’re about fifteen minutes from Innsbruck’s old town, which means you get the best of both worlds — easy access to the city’s museums and cafes, but you come home to actual mountain views and clean air. The couples who stay here clearly get it (they rate the location nearly 9 out of 10), and I can see why. There’s a hiking trail that starts basically from the property, and on clear days, you can see the Nordkette mountains looking absolutely spectacular.

The Apartment Experience

What surprised me most was how thoughtfully set up my room was. This isn’t your typical hotel situation — you’re getting a proper apartment with a fully equipped kitchen that actually has everything you need. I’m talking real plates, decent knives, even a coffee machine that doesn’t require an engineering degree to operate. The space feels lived-in rather than sterile, with wooden furniture that fits the Alpine setting without being overly themed. The Wi-Fi works well (tested it thoroughly while working from the small dining table), and the heating keeps things cozy even when it’s chilly outside.

Daily Life Here

Having that kitchen changes everything about how you experience a place. I found myself stopping at the local Spar grocery store — just a short walk away — picking up fresh bread and local cheese for breakfast instead of hunting for overpriced hotel food. The owners, the Mair family, are around but not hovering, which strikes exactly the right balance. They left some helpful local tips in the apartment, including a handwritten note about the best bakery in town (which, by the way, makes incredible apple strudel).

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to wow you with fancy amenities or a concierge service, but that’s not what you’re here for. What you get is a genuine slice of Austrian life in a place that feels more like staying at a friend’s mountain house than a commercial property. The value is excellent — you’re paying three-star prices but getting space and comfort that would cost significantly more in Innsbruck proper. Plus, there’s something satisfying about making your morning coffee while looking out at the mountains, knowing you’ve found one of those places that hasn’t been completely discovered yet.
