Taferne — Restaurant in Politische Expositur Gröbming

Stayed here with an organised group of around 30 of us in February 2022 just after COVID regulations had been relaxed.||Hotel is family run for 5 generations, currently run by Kevin and his wife.||This was the first time the group had used this hotel having previously used another at the other end of the resort in Hausennstal.||Hotel is situated around a kilometre from the nearest bubble lifts with access to Reiteralm this links to Hochwurzen and on to Plania.||Rooms are definitely Austrian style with lots on wood, quite basic generous size, with balconies good heating and insulated glass windows, Austrian style beds good shower rooms with endless hot water.||Breakfast is served in a specific spacious breakfast room. All traditional fare with unlimited amounts of servings for those with large appetites!||Dinner was a four course affair, salad bar, soup, choice of three main courses and desert. Certain amount of traditional Austrian style food here, but being used to it for thirty years was expected. What was surprising was the range and quality of the food. Everything was beautifully served and quite exceptional for a mid range hotel. Chef has been with them for 29 years and a second chef for 2 years. Staff were very helpful and cheerful despite being busy during dinner. I was so impressed with the food presentation, I took photos to send to my wife. Never done that before!||Ski bus stops outside the hotel so transport to skiing was simple. It’s a Lyle way out of the way in Mandling but is a hidden gem of great vale.||Kevin his wife and their baby Carla are...

We had a fantastic skiing trip staying at Taferne in the 4 Peaks Schladming area which is an excellent area to learn skiing or for more experienced and advanced skiers.

Kevin and Katrine the owners of the Taferne were so helpful with any queries or requests from our group.

The staff were also exceptional with their service. Friendly, efficient and made it such a warm and pleasant place to stay.

The rooms were clean and serviced every day.

The food was excellent with salad available every night as well as generous portions of cooked food and good continental breakfast.

A minor issue with the springtime bus timetable, was with the local ski bus that stopped directly outside the hotel, however since Mandling is just about 2km from a gondola, the only thing that would help is for slightly later buses timed with when the slopes close as not all of our group wished to finish at an earlier time and enjoy the sauna although many did. There was a regional bus from the central bus station of Schladming however this required waiting at the end of the day. This was fine if you enjoy Apres Ski or need to drop into a...
