This place is just a divine. After being here, you will have no doubt why a member of the monarch family, the Habsburgs, chose this scenic spot for his house. You will be drawn by the nature.
It's an informative, compact house-museum with accompanying explanations, real photos, etc. Decorated with freshly flowers...and I would say in such a heat it was a nice touch.
Keep in mind that Luis Salvador wasn't a man of luxury like SiSi (so don't expect to see a Hofburg or Belvedere); he was a scientist, explorer, mariner, etc. He simply bought an old, ruined mansion and restored it. It's simple inside, but impressive outside with terraces and a chapel, and the views just breathtaking.
All the belongings and furniture are well preserved and cared.
An ancient sundial is on the wall of the building, dating from that time. Care to find? :)
A beautiful, small, and well-maintained garden.
Interesting fact: one of the houses that Luis Salvador bought for his "amante" in this area now belongs to and is run by Michael Douglas.
