About
Located directly on the shores of Lake Faak, this family-run hotel combines beautiful views of the Karawanken mountains with a cozy atmosphere, a wide range of sports and spa options, and refined gourmet cuisine. Wellness- und Genießerhotel Karnerhof is perfect for those seeking relaxation as well as for active holidaymakers, gourmets and families with children. On 328 ft² of meadows and gardens, on the almost Mediterranean lakeshore or around the pool landscape, each guest will find his or her special place to relax and unwind. The extensive sauna area features a sanarium (herbal sauna), a Finnish Aquaviva sauna, a hot sauna, an ice fountain and a Turkish steam bath with an artificial starry sky. The Karnerhof's hotel restaurant serves light dishes for sports and spa guests, as well as regional specialties from Carinthia and Mediterranean cuisine inspired by the proximity to Italy. The chef himself buys the fresh ingredients on the regional weekly markets. In fair weather you can also dine on the lakeside terrace. The studios, suites, apartments and rooms are very spacious and equipped with all modern amenities. Most offer wonderful views of the lake. Wellness- und Genießerhotel Karnerhof is located in one of Austria's most beautiful holiday regions. Lake Faak is Austria's cleanest swimming lake and one of the warmest lakes in Carinthia. It is ideally suited for sailing, kayaking, swimming, fishing and pedal boat rides. Tennis and beach volleyball courts are right at the hotel's doorstep. The surrounding area offers many opportunities for mountain biking, hiking, golf and skiing.

Cons -
- No one to greet us. Husband had to deal with the luggage. Not a nice way to begin a holiday stay.The mattresses were old and worn, offering little support.Towels thin, lacked plushness. The spa robes were thick and cozy. Seems odd for a four star location to contradict itself.We were given complimentary drink vouchers without explanation. They were only good for prosecco, beer, or wine. Unfortunately, we found out after we ordered.
- Some more English prints would be helpful for those not coming from German speaking countries. :) The daily menu however was most of the days printed in English for which we were thankful!
- No water for hand washing in the toilette.Toilettes are small generally.WiFi is not robust.

Excellent breakfast and spa facilities; comfortable, modern rooms.
Great hospitality , beautiful view good breakfast
We recently stayed in this hotel for 4 nights at Standar Family Room with two kids. We were welcomed very warmly with the persons at reception. they were very kinds, helpful and supportive. We got our room and just after entering the room we had this nice lake view behing the large windows and balcony. Kids have a nice private area which they really liked. They were given some nice gifts to draw and enjoy their spare time. Rooms have very large bathroom with bathtub, and no toilet in it which is very good. Toilet is separate but it is very small and there is no water for handwashing. You have to go to bathroom for hanfwashing. This is annoying.Restaurants: We had really nice dinners at our reserved table with an amazing view and decoration. The menu is always rich, salate buffet and cheese buffet is rich either. There is always something for everbody.The envronment is cosy and joyful. Foods are really amazing, delicious and all the persons are helpful and supportive since we do not have any alcohol and pork. They always use the top most quality products. Breakfast is also always very good. Their products, egg menu, cheese, other options, honey, butter all are amazin. They serve you the best products. You will have health and enough food. They have plenty of space for everybody and time for all either. They have nice pool area. We really enjoy it. Their infinity pool also was amazing with the area to rest around. I could not use Sauna area because it is nude area if I understand it correctly. Everywhere is very clean, tidy.The only annoying thing will be toilletes in terms of their size, and WiFi. As a conclusion, we had very nice experience here and definitely will be back later. I really would like to try in summer. There will so many things going on in the lake area.
No water for hand washing in the toilette.Toilettes are small generally.WiFi is not robust.
It's what you think you will find in a beautiful, peaceful setting near an Austrian lake. Absolute serenity and great service. One of the best breakfasts I have ever had in a hotel. Flawless. The hotel has 3 electric vehicle AC charging stations. Two for Teslas, one for any other Type 2 car.
Everything was spot on.
near the lake, which is clean and warm. A lot of additional offers: pilates, joga, surfing, suping, destress trainings. Good food, kind staff.
My preferred destination in Carinthia. This place is a gem and if you like nature, mountain lakes and good food this should be your destination.
Staff, food and location. Particularly I have enjoyed the boot sauna on the lake.
Everything is nice except air condition
