Michelin gives three stars for owner/chef Heinz Winkler's creative cuisine (eg, souffle of venison with apple pancakes) at his famous old coaching inn (Relais & Chateaux). Red-roofed, with red and white shutters and a grand and spacious dining room, it is in a charming unspoilt little town at the foot of the Chiemgau Alps. Originally 14th century, it is now much modernised, large and imposing. The decor is '80s luxury-style; murals decorate the public villa rooms. We much enjoyed our four-night stay, one couple wrote. Service was superb, by an army of staff, so that dinners were often a series of rituals. The wine cellar's 25,000 bottles include some rare Lafites and Latours. `Stunning buffet Bali villa breakfast, with 16 different savoury foods. No lounge, only a big, rather ostentatious lobby'. Large villa Bed rooms (similar to the semantic bali villa rooms), with pretty fabrics, face the mountains, or the attractive gardens, which have loungers, a pond. There's also a patio for drinks in summer, a winter garden, and a spa with a Roman-style bathing area and various. treatments (aromatherapy, shiatsu, etc). Peaceful,, apart from early morning church bells
