Reviews
Very nice place to visit all year round. I haven’t been inside Villa but I have seen some weddings happening there. There is a cafe restaurant with beautiful terrace behind the Villa. You could spend all day roaming through park and forests around.
Nice castle / museum to visit. Unfortunately the brochure and help texts were only on German. Outside near the garden (small one) were a restaurant. To reach the place with bus you have to walk the last kilometer, but it’s worth of it.
Hermesvilla is a really beautiful place. Very peaceful and pleasant environment. The complex is surrounded by big forest. Gardens around the villa are nicely decorated with beautiful flowers, different colors, and all kinds of roses and other bushes cut in different shapes. On both sides of the villa, you can see a few sculptures and fountains as well. From the villa, you can use different paths for walking through the forest. In the forest, it is also possible to see wild animals. All recommendations.
Beautiful villa surrounded by nature, it wasn’t crowded because we visitee it on weekday. If you want to go inside of villa (museum), the entry fee is 8€.
Beautiful historic villa in lovely big park.
Great for a half- day trip with a restaurant/cafe. Outdoor and indoor seating available so great for all weather conditions.
Museum only open until 1st of November.
After a short walk through the woods, the villa appears almost like a magical fairytale castle. We rested in the shade of old trees, had our drinks and continued walking though the forest. It is suitable for families, singles, old and young folks.
This is a beautiful building in a nice Park. If you have been to the main Sisi landmarks, the inside exhibition will not impress you too much. The thing that will shock you even after many years in vienna is the typical rudeness of all staff - from the ticket sales to the inside security...
We went on the 1st Sunday of the month so it was free. Get ready for a walk in the forest to get there. The place itself is not as glorious as other Austrian castles and villas but it’s charming. It definitely is not worth it to go in a day when it’s not free. The nature around and the garden are beautiful.
