The charming property is still run by the famous Trapp family, whose story was told in the movie '"The Sound of Music," and original memorabilia from past generations is displayed everywhere. The property includes four clay tennis courts, a large indoor pool (and two outdoor pools, open during the summertime), and three restaurants (as well as a bakery) so there are plenty of things for the family to do -- and eat!
