...to the Van Trapp Family villa. According to reports, the original Van Trapp Family villa will open as a hotel this summer. For Sound of Music fans, this is a dream come true. I can already picture myself clad in lederhosen running up the mountain singing "The hills are alive..."
(Ok, probably not, because I would never wear lederhosen, but it paints a picture of how excited I am about this opening).
According to the story, "The Villa Trapp hotel will give visitors a chance to sleep in the family's former bedrooms or get married in their chapel."
There will no doubt be singing, dancing and frolicking in the hills for Sound of Music fans. You'll stand on the staircase where the kids and Fraulein Maria sang every night before bedtime, you can dance in the gazebo where Liesl and Rolf secretly sang and fell in love. You might even get to climb a tree or mountain. (I suggest you don't take the curtains off the bedroom windows and attempt to make play clothes; hotel management might frown upon that).
Kudos to the owners of the villa, who have agreed to open the Van Trapp doors to travelers.
This might be my next big trip...
