Hi

Came across your website by accident, but love it. I have skiied in St. Anton for the last two seasons and I am heading out again on the 22nd with himself. We stay with Hannes and Johanna in Jackies and always have a ball. Your photos are looking great and cannot wait to get my skis on.
Website is excellent and I have passed it on to fellow St. Anton skiiers, so that we can all keep up to date with what is going on.
Have a good day

Have just returned from my first ski test weekend and snow conditions couldn't have been better. It was great to arrive, accomodation perfectly located a 100 yard walk across the road, ski hire all sorted, ski pass ready and three days ski guiding all arranged. It really was a case of turning up and putting ski's on and away I went. Totally recommend this site and having spent the weekend with the contributors I can only say the local knowledge they have of the resort, be it restaurants on or off the mountain, bars/clubs to visit, best apres ski locations, best hire shops etc make the holiday. If you want the best from your visit then you wont go wrong by using this site - am already looking for when I can next go !

Top week had in the Nasserein apartment. We were very well looked after so thanks for everything. Flat is easy stumbling distance from the Nasserein lift, amenities and town. Good advice on drinkeries and eateries much appreciated as well. Definitely good value so would recommend.
Cheers,
Mark

Sent this website by a friend and found it full of really useful information in a clear and easy to use format. Communication with 'Sidney' was also good, with prompt responses to enquiries. Also have a first class recommendation from someone who has stayed in one of the chalets and is going again in March. Just waiting for an opportunity to go!

Ciao Sidney,
Great to have a proper look at the blog which looks fab. We've just had a fantastic week skiing the Molise mountains in Abruzzo Italy from our house, The Palazzo di Marchese Trasmondi in Introdacqua. Fab time, perfect conditions, loads of snow and no tourists...... Looking forward to seeing you there find out more from the link on friends websites about buying houses in Italy or go to www.casavostra.co.uk
I've passed your site details on to friends in italy and the UK who want to ski in St Anton.
Ciao ciao. Yorkie.

"Sidney,

Used your apartment1 twice last year and has to be the best location of any apartment in St Anton! Great views of the slopes and so close to the lifts, amazing!

Like the website too, great to hear what is going on and how the weather is before making a visit.

Keep up the good work."

Sidney has been one of the nicest persons i have ever met on the internet.He has given me sound advice and he was more worried about my needs than trying to make me book a holiday.His website is also outstanding and full of information.For a novice skier this was such a great site and help.I would love to visit one of his apartments when the time is right.

My wife and I stayed in the apartment on Dorfstrasse in St Anton for a week over Christmas. Wow! - What a fantastic place! The location (set just across the road from the Galzigbahn gondola and the ticket offices) is so convenient. The apartment is very spacious and well laid out, and the modern well-equiped kitchen means you dont need to eat out every night, although there are many excellent restaurants to choose from nearby. The sky tv was a bonus when it was snowing too hard to go up the mountain - as was the wifi access. I reguarly check Sidneys diary and the weather page to keep up with whats happening in St Anton - and so I can start getting excited about my next visits that are already booked !

Stanisa Surbatovich said...

Greetings Mike,

We enjoyed our stay in the St. Anton apartment. The location was great--about a minute walk to the Galzig. We appreciated your quick availability to help and advise. We recommend your apartment to anyone looking to for a great location and good apartment in St. Anton.

All the best,

The Surbatovich family

I have just returned from a week's stay in 'Sidney's' Apartment 1 which I must say has to be one of the very best locations in St. Anton. It is located directly across the streets from the main access points, the Galzigbahn gondola and the Gampen lifts, as well as the lift office and several rental shops. Also, the main hub of restaurants and night-life in just out the front door, everything accessible between 20 seconds and a few minutes stroll. The apartment itself is nicely furnished, includes a fully functional kitchen, Sky+ TV and Wi-Fi access so you have everything that you could want for the time spent in the apartment.
'Sidney' was very friendly in both person and in terms of returning my e-mail enquiries. He invited us to ski with him and his friends one day for an amazing day of the finest powder skiing, guiding us to some of the sweetest spots for deep powder within the resort. He also kindly fitted us with avalanche transceivers prior to our day beginning. All of this, coupled with tips throughout the day, proved for an excellent day's skiing.
I can firmly recommend this apartment and the advice provided on the web-site. You certainly cannot go wrong here if you are contemplating a stay in the lovely St. Anton!
Regards, Ryan

Have just returned from St. Anton and stayed in Apartment 1 which was if i am honest almost perfect in every way, the location was as good as your are going to get, right next to main gondola, lifts and the nightlife and restaurants within a couple of minutes walk. The apartment itself was excellent, very spacious and immaculate, sky tv was a real bonus as well. All in all a fantastic holiday and I look forward to returning in the future

Just returned from a stay in Apt 2 and already looking forward to next year. the apartment has access to the great wellness facilities in the adjoining 4 star hotel and, even better, to the massive breakfast served up every morning. Great location too - no more than two minutes to the main lift. Ill definately be back ...

Anya said...

Mike hi! Had 2 beautiful weeks in St. Anton in your appartments in January 2009. That was the best location in the whole village - very close to the main lift and very close to the apreski and nightbars :)) Thanks a lot for your hospitality and treating us like your good freinds, we appreciate that much! Hope to come back next year :))

Stayed with Sidney in apartment number 2. Great location and a fantastic breakfast each day. The apartment is very spacious and has an amazing shower / steam room. Also had the chance to ski with Sidney - he certainly knows his way around the resort, took us off the beaten track and "away from the tourists" as he put it! Also showed us some great watering holes and places to eat. We have already booked again for next season.

Patrick said...

We stayed in one of Mike's apartments in Haus Zentral at New Year, fantastic location near to Galzigbahn and also we appreciated the advice on eating and drinking locations. Thoroughly recommended as a great spot to stay at in St Anton. The snow was very good and we are looking forward to the new fast lifts going in at Albona

Just got back from a ski holiday in St Anton and stayed in Apt #1. Could not have asked for better accommodation - the apt was great (tremendous views) and can't beat the location!! Website is fantastic, great response from 'Sidney' and best value for money on a last minute deal. Highly recommend this site and can't wait to go again next year! Thanks for everything, Rebekah

Unknown said...

Back from a week of skiing in St Anton and only just beginning to recover! We stayed in Sidney's Apartment No.1 and it was all that we wanted. To begin with, you could not ask for a better location. Opening the curtains to have breakfast overlooking the Galzigbahn was just the incentive you needed to get those boots back on! The apartment also accommodated us all very comfortably as both the kitchen/dining area and lounge were large. 'Sidney' was great too, always on hand to help with any questions and recommendations on where to go and what to ski. All in all a fantastic week in a great resort. Thank you very much, John.

Hello there,

My name is Cormac McKay. I must congratulate you on your very easy to follow and informative website. I skied in St.Anton last year and used your website extensively whilst planning my trip. I used Christian Frey for transfers from Friedrichshafen. He was excellent.

Sidney Reillys website is fantastic! I found it on the internet by accident while looking for accommodation and ended up having an amazing holiday in St Anton organised by Sidney himself. The information provided on the website along with Sidneys info once we arrived was a great help and just what we needed to make our holiday extra enjoyable.

The appartment we stayed in was super and overall we had the best ski holiday ever.

Thanks Sidney (see you soon)

Anonymous said...

Having skiied in St Anton previously it was great to discover Sidney's website and discover the real St Antom ! Our apartment could not be more centrally located, just by the Galzigbahn.
Sidney went out of his way to help us with all aspects of our trip from transfer to ski hire to sharing his knowledge on the best restaurants and ski routes. We look forward to a repeat trip in the near future.Thanks for a wonderful week.

Andy P said...

Mike,

Just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help. Thanks for making the stay in your lovely apartment (No.2) very pleasurable.

It was a great location, couldn’t get better!

It was a shame the weather wasn’t great, but it’s left me wanting to return asap, I’ll be checking you site for some late deals.

Thanks again.

Andy.

Alan said...

We stayed in Mike's Apartment 3 with the option of the additional double en suite room back in January this year. There was 7 of us staying for 2 weeks and we weren't exactly caught for space! The apartment had full Sky HD and wireless internet which was very useful for those days where a couple of hours break was needed! Mike isn't exaggerating when he says his apartments are bang on central... They are! Mike was very helful throughout our stay recommending all the good places to eat and drink around St. Anton which we would have never found if we were on our own! Might see you again next year Mike!

Steve and the gang said...

Extremely jealous, the current snow conditions look fantastic. I guess we were just a little unlucky with the conditions.

Having said that, the conditions were more than perfect for après ski and me and the boys took advantage of that.

We all had a fantastic time and would not hesitate to come back to St Anton to one of your apartments in the future. Our Wives and Girlfriends may have something to say about that however, we are working on it for next year.

Kind Regards

Steve

If you want to Jump the travel agent queues "and Prices" go with Sidney, lovely apartments, central location for lifts and Apres and your guide to where to eat and enjoy what St Anton has to offer.
Highly recommended.

Three of us stayed in what can only be described as a perfect apartment. Ideal location for everything St Anton has to offer. Sidney was the perfect host, from forcing himself to stay up late drinking when we arrived late to providing all the information needed to make our time as enjoyable and action packed as possible!

Will be back again soon

Cheers

John said...

Stayed in apartment 3 for a pre xmas ski break. The apartment is excellent, very comfotable and very close to the ski lifts, but also near to the town centre shops and resturants. Mike was very helpful with excellent resturant tips, also the web site is full of useful info. Despite the cold weather we enjoyed 4 days of super snow conditions.

Janet said...

Thanks Mike for the use of Apartment No.1 and your valuable advice regarding hire shops, best restaurants etc.

The apartment is in the perfect location, with fantastic views - only two minutes walk to all three main lifts and within easy reach of all shops, bars and restaurants. We travelled by train from Zurich and only had a 5 minute walk from the railway station to the apartment.

The apartment is very spacious with all the facilities required for self catering. We are a family of five and had plenty space, the teenagers were particularly happy with the use of Sky HD TV and wi-fi when not out on the slopes.

Many thanks, if we're back in St Anton we'll definitely be staying here again.

Just back from an awesome week in St Anton with Sidney and Mike. Very nice, helpful, friendy.

Had a great apartment (Apartment 2).

Easy access from the centre of the two. Close access to Apre Ski bars for those that want to walk there instead of skiing.

Very large and spacious with all the facilities needed for a week there. Definately recommended.

Rich said...

Hi
Just returned from an excellent few days in St Anton. Sidney's apartments are superbly located, moments from the centre of town and the main lifts. The apartments are furnished to a good standard and everything worked well. Transfers were very easy and Sidney knows all the best spots in town. We will certainly be back next year.
Richard

GrizzlyHippo said...

We've just returned from St. Anton where we rented apartment 2 for the last week in January. The apartment was fantastic - clean, modern, spacious, had everything we needed. The location was good too, although slightly out of town, it was easy to walk to local restaurants or into town - or simply use the free buses. Mike was great and very helpful to us all week. We'll be going back again next year!
Thanks, Tom, Alex and Nick.

Super Central and Airy apartment, was perfect for us. Sidney was a great host and could answer any possible q we had! We had a great time and hope to return.

HI we have just had a fantastic week in St Anton,we stayed in app.5which was so easy for everything.The view from my bed was Rendal as the sun rose every morning.
Sidney was great seen when needed.
if you arrive late Saturdays the supermarket closes at 7pm and only opens at 3pm for a couple of hours on Sundays. So you could run out of toilet rolls!!!!!!Ta Jane

Paiges Dad! said...

Stayed in apartment 2 from 5th to 12th feb 2011 and can highly recommend not only the apartment but also the services of Sidney for whom nothing seemed too much trouble.
We had lifts into town, lifts out of town and also collected from the supermarket when we did a "big shop".
Not only that, you also get access to a mine of information from Sidney regarding where to hire kit, where to ski, where to eat and drink in town and also which are the best restaurants in the various villages covered with your lift pass.
We had six men sharing apartment 2 and it was wonderful how much space we all had, we never felt cramped. The apartment is a 10 minute walk into town or 2 minutes by free bus which means you are spared the late night noise of the village centre, once the buses stop running there are plenty of taxis available to run you home.
All in all a great experience and one which we can't wait to repeat.

Matt Craven said...

We stayed in Apartment 3 and it was unbelievably convenient just a minute away from the slopes. 6 Lads and the apartment was ample plenty of room and really comfortable. The WiFi was a great bonus as I run my own business and can never truly escape so this helped me to manage a few emails in the evenings. We had a great trip, the place was fantastic, the snow was excellent it was great to experience a new place and a new skiing culture I am sure we will return.

Just back from a great week in St Anton. Sidney provided an excellent service picking up and dropping off my friends and I at the airport. We stayed in apt2 and apt5 for the week, both were immaculate and very comfotable. Would highly recommend staying with Sidney, his communication was fantastic and took the pain out of trying to organise a holiday for a large group!

Best of luck,
Trevor.

Just back from a great week in St Anotn. Sidney provided an excellent service picking up and dropping off both my friends and I at the airport. We stayed in apts 2 and 5 which were both immaculate, well located and comfortable. The communication with Sidney was terrific and he made it easy to arrange a holiday for such a large group. Would highly reccommend booking with Sidney, will be doing the same if I get the chance to return!

All the best,

Susan said...

We have just returned from a wonderful week in St Anton. We were a group of 4 adults and 2 children and we stayed in apartment 2. This apartment is spacious and has everything you need. The tv with lots of channels and the free wifi were very much appreciated. It's an easy 10 min-walk to town but the bus is also very convenient (stop is in front of the apartment and it's 3 stops to the centre). The help of Mike during our holiday really made the difference. He gave us tips for where to rent skis (including discount), where to dine and he really went all his way to get a private instructor for one of the kids. Should we come back to St Anton, we'll definitely go with Mike again.

Just got back from a great week in St Anton. We used Sidney or should I say Mike on a recommendation from a friend! The apartment was a short walk to the slopes, bars and restaurants. It was spacious and clean and included everything we needed. Mike’s personal approach helped us a lot and we were even guided around the slopes for the day before an inevitable drinking binge!

A great holiday and a great service! Next time we want to Ski St Anton I’ll be booking with Sidney Reilly….

Phillip, Phil, Andrew & Steve.

Unknown said...

Sidney (aka Mike) was the perfect local tour guide. He sorted us out with amazing accomodation really close to the Galzig gondola.

Apartment was perfect- clean with all mod cons (even Sky tv!)

A great holiday and a great service! Thanks Mike!

Hejsan!

Vi (5st kompisar) har precis kommit hem efter en underbar skidresa i St Anton med boende i "Sidney's" lägenhet 6. Det är en takvåning som ligger precis mitt i byn och är helt superjuste, med wi-fi och allt man behöver. Vår kontakt med lägenhetsinnehavaren mike var kanon, en skön kille som alltid var tillgänglig och hade många bra tips om både skidåkning och uteliv. Om jag någon gång kommer tillbaka så bor jag gärna i samma lägenhet...

Many thanks from the Swedish 5 (kristoffer dahlvik)

Unknown said...

We had a great time staying in "Apartment 5" late March/early April, 2011. Sidney was very accommodating and patient in our email communications to arrange the booking. We feel very fortunate that he was able to find the perfect apt for us at a great price. We loved the location--the apt is in a central but quiet area, only a couple of minutes walk to all of the main ski lifts and the village center. The apt is bright, sunny, well equipped, modern, comfortable, and more than spacious enough for the two of us. There is a nice view of the Rendl gondola and the ski trail leading to it, just across the road from the back of the apt. Sidney was also very helpful in recommending places to ski and eat. (We never did manage to get on the mountain at 8:30 am, like he suggested, but we enjoyed trying out his many restaurant and apres ski recommendations.) Looking forward to returning to St. Anton and hopefully staying in one of Sidney's apartments again.

Hi Sidney,

Just arrived home safe and sound, many thanks for your great apartment, we had a great time and will be back again. Hope everything is ok and we didn't leave too much of a mess! Take care.

We wanted to thank you for your help and the ease of booking such a wonderful holiday, I am delighted to report that the boys thought the resort had enough to keep returning and could see that there would be lots of off piste with more snow, as well as a livelier, friendlier and more compact centre to the resort than their past experiences of Meribel and the Trois Vallee.? We all enjoyed the spacious and well fitted apartment and thought your beds were extremely comfortable. The bar at the top of the Zug lift had the best pizza I think I have ever eaten outside Italy. I suspect you will see some if not all of us again. The Wise family.

Hey,
I actually came across Sidney's (Mike's) website whilst trying to search for a holiday in St Anton. He was really really helpful, well organised and friendly.
My friends and I stayed in Apartment 2, to which all I can say is "awesome". Its not located in the village, but only took a few mins to walk down to, and the bus service was very regular and prompt.
All the airport transfers were organised also.
I have already recommended this site to many others, and will use again for every trip to St Anton.
Same time next year!!!!!

Excellent week in Apartment 5. Mike (Sidney) is brilliant, looks after everything and the best source of advice, even getting us a discount in the rental shop. He was very good to show us some of the mountain's best bits as well and even joined us in KK afterwards. The apartment is in the perfect position in the resort, spacious, comfortable, clean and with wifi/TV etc. It's 2 mins from both major lifts and walkable from the train station. We loved the Floriani restaurant next door. Try and get across to Lech for a day as well, definitely worth doing. We were blessed with incredible snow the week we were there, although didn't get to do the Valluga yet so we are certainly going to be back!! R&J

Craig said...

just back from a week in apt 3, its our second year now with Mike A.K.A Sidney and once again had an amazing time,the apt is fantastic, perfect location just accross from main lifts and right on top of all the action and as always mike was so helpful with the whole process, anyone thinking of going to St. Anton Mike is the only man you should talk to
thanks again Mike and see you next year

Hi Mike, really, really great week at your place in St.Anton couple of weeks ago, fantastic location, myself and the lads from Royston/cambs will be back - thats for sure. Especially after the live band action at Piccadilly and Khandahar, I will remember not to get too smashed in there next time on the first night! thanks for everything ! Dave/Tim and lads

Andrey N said...

Fabulous village and great apartments. We took no.7 and no.8 which are in the same house, which is very convenient for a company or a big family.
Conditions are very good in general, Mike is very responsive to anything you may need. We had problems with internet, that were fixed jt a couple of hours later.
The homeowner lives in the same building - on the 2nd floor - and is helpful, too.
A bit of advice: do take a car if you stay in apt. 7 or apt. 8. Shuttle bus will easily take you to the city centre, but some good supermarkets are outside of the town.

Cheers,
Andrey

ckmawson said...

For a bloke who advertises himself on his website as a dodgy, 007 wannabe, I was quite surprised to find Mike an intelligent, ethical, kind, human being. From the outset, Mike answered emails quickly and was concerned to find the right apt for us. Even though we arrived late, mike arranged our transfer to our apt and settled us in, with an overview and helpful suggestions. He helped with our ski hire and his discount was very helpful. Our apt was fantastic, within 5 mins of the lifts and the village centre, and roomy and well appointed. We will be back, and would not stay with anyone else. Mike made our booking easy and our stay most enjoyable. This bloke goes beyond any accommodation provider , I have previously experienced. You feel more like a friend than a client and because of how well you are looked after.

Many thanks for making our stay in St Anton truly superb. You were a consummate host and coped very well with all our demands.

I am sure we will be back ; and Apartment 6 is a great place to be with so much room and atmosphere. It was brilliant during those 2 white-out days! And as long as the renovations you spoke about go ahead, then it will clearly be even better in 2012/13!!



So again many thanks for looking after us; and for enabling a fabulous holiday!!

Thanks again for making so many arrangements for our holiday. We very much enjoyed our stay and appreciate that we had good weather for most of the time. However we were especially appreciative of all the help you gave to us before and during our stay. Your willingness and ability to communicate with the the Audi garage on our behalf as you can imagine was a tremendous benefit for us.

We made good use of your gastronomic advice and guidance. We enjoyed the hospitality of both the Skiing Budda and Floriani and considered them to be excellent and good value.

The appartment was perfect for us: comfortable, perfectly located and, just if not better than you described it to be. We would certainly recommend it to others and would hope that we will return sometime in the future.

Very best wishes and thanks again

Thank you for facilitating a fantastic Christmas holiday. Apartment 8 was a comfortable, clean, and spacious apartment located in a quiet area, but conveniently close to St. Anton by foot or bus. We appreciated the ski advice and for arranging for our guide Benny, who oriented us to the endless ski runs throughout the area. This introduction to Arlberg was invaluable for the rest of our trip. New Year's Eve.....what can we say......spectacular, enchanting, awesome! Thanks for the memories.........

Hiya

Just reporting that we got back safe and sound.

The attached picture shows my youngest son Dave as we prepared to head down from “above the clouds”. Jen, Tim and I were right behind him.

It was nice sharing wine with you the night before we left; I’m a people person so this was certainly a very nice conclusion of the trip for me.

Hope to see you again in the future and thanks for the help you gave us in both preparing for the trip and while we were there. All of your advice was spot-on.

Had an amazing week over Christmas in St Anton. Advice about the resort was very precise and extremely useful.
We stayed in appartment 2 which was lovely, and very roomy.
Friendly welcome and help throughout the holiday was great.

All round an amazing experience, would definitely stay with Sidney Reilly again.

Thanks very much

Thank you very much for another amazing week in St Anton.

I hope you know that the time you take out to ski, give tips and let me see the side of Anton that your typical tourist wouldn't see is hugely appreciated. It really is a privilege that I'm massively grateful for.

Thanks again and hopefully see you in April.

We had a fantastic time staying in apartment3. The apartment was very clean and spacious, the kitchen was great with everything we needed. The advice from mike before we arrived and when we got there as well as help with hiring gear and lessons was excellent, not to mntion the location was absolutely brilliant! Will recommend o friends for sure

Four guys, spent a week in St Anton in one of Mikes apartments. The apartment was great, it had all necessities for cooking and cleaning and the beds were comfortable, the location was excellent, a few minutes walk to the gondola and centre. Mike was really helpful, always answered his phone when I rang asking questions to which he always had an answer to. Mike sorted out transfers to and from the airport which was great. The whole trip was effortless, Mike took care of all essentials so we could get on with snowboarding. The only negative was that there wasn't enough snowfall during the week we stayed, unfortunately Mike couldn't sort out the weather but he managed everything else. Jordan, Gaz, Scott, John

Unknown said...

Another great trip to St Anton - this time we stayed in Apt 10 in the centre of town. Perfect location! Mike was very accommodating as always and his recommendations are spot on. He organized our transfers to and from the train station and connected us with the BEST private ski instructor / guide, Martin, for my husband who was a first time skier. Martin also took our group on a day trip to Lech where we met up with Mike and a group of friends for lunch. It was excellent. We will definitely be back! -Rebekah, JP and Megan (London UK)

Strongly recommend Mike!Looking forward to next time, hope it wont be too long!

11 of us spent half term In St Anton. We had never been before however we had a fantastic time. Mike was really helpful to the point that when certain members of our parties suit cases did not turn up till the Monday night he went out and found suitable gear for them to wear so that they could get skiing quickly on the Sunday - what a great thing to do!! Nothing was too much bother for Mike. Our accommodation was great, we hired two apartments in one block and this worked out fine. Definitely we will be back (hopefully with our staircases in tact this time) Regards, the Horns and Mackies

Our group of 5 spent a week in St. Anton in one of Mike's apartments (#2) early February and were most impressed with every aspect of his service and accommodation. Mike has been in St. Anton long enough to be well connected and know what visitors need to optimize their experience. His restaurant recommendations (we went to 4) were excellent. His ski shop/rental/storage arrangements were very helpful and saved us some money too! Mike regularly exceeded our expectations for service levels and was incredibly responsive and available to help with anything: highly recommend Mike to anyone visiting the area!

February trip.

For your guest book our feedback is as follows;

All your advice on arrival regarding restaurants,insurance, skiing and transport was very professional and time saving.

Your ski hire arrangements were perfect,convenient,professional and the equipment as good as new.

After an accident on the slopes your advice with regard to doctors,hospitals and insurance was of great help.

The accommodation you booked for us was perfect. In the centre of town.So close to the lifts, hire shop, restaurants and most of the activities.

The rooms were of a good size,everything very clean and the set-up most practicle.

Your service was friendly and most helpful and the transport to and from the airport in Zurich was a pleasure.

Mike thanks for helping to make our holiday a memorable experience.Nearly time to start booking our next one.

Regards,

Mike,George,Gareth,Roger and Corne

On 13/12/14 we stayed in Apartment 10 on the Dorfstrasse which is a fantastic location, very near the supermarket,nightlife and a short easy walk to the Galzigbahn. The apartment is very spacious and fully equiped including a very useful information file all bout the resort. For those who sleep lightly we recommend having the back bedroom as the Dorfstrasse can be a little noisey late at night, something that did not affect our three teenage boys.
From the initial enquiry Mike was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable,organising our transfers to and from Friedrichschafen and meeting us at the ski hire shop to arrange a discount. He even leant us an adaptor and extension lead when we discovered we had left ours behind.
Sadly there was very little snow in St Anton so Mike arranged a joint taxi to Ischgl,45 minutes away, which bizarrely had snow. We had two days of skiing there before enough snow arrived in St Anton to open a few more runs.
Despite the poor snow we had a great week and would highly recommend booking with 'Sidney Reilly'.

Fantastic week in St Anton, all thanks to Mike and his brilliant apartment on Dorfstrasse. Couldn't be a better location, with lifts and pistes, nightlife, rental shops, supermarket, transport all within very easy distance. We were only 3, but could easily have fitted 5 into the apartment - next year we'll be back to make the most of it for sure!
Thanks Mike!

Second time back in Sankt Anton and booking accommodation through Sidney. Had a fantastic time and were lucky enough to stay in an apartment in the heart of the village. But most of all, we were very appreciative of the effort Sidney went to, to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Such a great site to book accommodation through! Will hopefully be back soon!

Mike was an absolute hero and his apartments were amazing. I stayed in SA for three weeks and it would not have been anywhere near the experience it was without him.

Initially I was a bit skeptical about using someone freelance in SA to organize both accommodation and ski lessons but the gamble was repaid many times over.

Mike did everything in his power to make sure I had an amazing time including even organizing for me to use an empty apartment for the evening to have a German lesson on Skype when there were internet problems (including transfer to and from the flat).

He also recommended a fantastic independent ski instructor (Martin) who I had daily lessons with one to one for three weeks over a third cheaper than I would have paid for a far less qualified and experienced ski instructor from one of the in-town ski schools.

All in all I can't recommend Mike and his team enough - I will recommend to all friends and family and will not look anywhere else for my next time in SA.

See you soon!

Hiya mate, Just emailing to thank you for our lovely stay with you in January. The chalet was perfect and the whole service was just great. Having nice accommodation with decent kitchens and bathrooms etc is surprisingly rare in alot of skiing locations.Really enjoyed St Anton and plans about next years trip starting already.

Mike did a fantastic job of ensuring we had the best ever skiing experience. The chalet was great with loads of room and in a fantastic location next to the slopes and apres ski bars. St Anton was great for restaurants and bars but the best skiing was in Leck and Zurs. We would definitely book with Sidney Reilly again, Huge apartment well equipped and very clean. And Mike - thanks for helping get the crates of beer from the Spar to the chalet.

This is a long time coming but such is life in our little island of Singapore. We and our 4 children had our little family "adventure" to St Anton last December and we truly had an unforgettable time. Much of that is down to Mike. Everything was excellently organized so that we could concentrate on the fun and spending the much needed family time.

The apartment was great. Lots of space, all the appliances a family with young children needed, a great fireplace and wifi (if you are unfortunate enough to need connection). Mike arrange for kid friendly ski instructors (our 4 year old can now ski) and sorted out the equipment rental for us. St Anton is a convenient base but above all a lovely village. Thanks for making our stay memorable.

We will be back. Will be contacting you again, next year Mike.

With thanks (Joel, Glorie, Josie, Gracie, Christel and BC)

MIKE COULDNT HAVE BEEN MORE HELPFUL. FIRSTLY , HE HELPED WITH RESTAURANT RECOMMENDATIONS AND BOOKINGS BEFORE WE EVEN ARRIVED .
HE PICKED US UP AT THE AIRPORT AND GAVE US LOADS OF TIPS AND HELPFUL ADVICE ON ST ANTON. HE EVEN MANAGED TO GET US A DISCOUNT AT THE SKI HIRE PLACE.
WHEN WE WERE HAPPILY ENSCONCED IN OUR CENTRALLY LOCATED APARTEMNT , HE CHECKED UP ON US TO MAKE SURE ALL WAS OKAY.
WE HAD A GREAT STAY, DESPITE THE SNOW.
THANK YOU
MIKE

Mike was a great help. We had him pick us up directly from the airport. It gave him the opportunity to show us around town before heading to our apartment. Even though we stayed over the new year period. Mike never hesitated to accomodate us with anything we needed during the busy period. Highly recommend and trustworthy.

Brilliant stay during Feb in a village apartment in the Dorfstrasse. The apartment was clean, perfectly equipped for a holiday and within easy reach of the ski lifts, ski school etc. We travelled as a family, 2 adults and 5 children, and the location of the apartment was simply brilliant for the differing needs of the family.

Mike's advice was much appreciated, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as a brilliant contact, apartment provider etc in St Anton.

Many thanks, Sarah-Jane, Michael, Theo, Rafael, Lucy, Gabriel and Imogen

My wife and I had a great week of skiing in St Anton.

The apartment was excellent (super location, very clean, comfortable beds, a great shower (which is essential after a day on the slopes), good wifi and a well stocked kitchen). The apartment is just "under" the main street so there is no noise at all to be heard if you do decide to have an early night :-)

St Anton has loads of restaurant and has a lively apres ski.

The ski area itself is excellent with loads of options for all types of skiers.

Mike was extremely helpful, ensuring our arrival and departure plans were hassle free. He gave us loads of tips regarding the ski area and St Anton in general (restaurants, shops, bars, etc.)

Looking forward to returning

regards
Gerard

Hiya

Thanks again for everything! What an incredible week. Can't beat the snow-snow-sun rotation. I'll have to put together some video clips of the chest deep snow we experienced on Tuesday too, but all my shots very quickly turn to white!

Thanks again for everything you did to accommodate our large group, showing us to fresh tracks, connecting us with Martin, and even including us in your family plans for skiing and après. It was a great week and all 20 had an incredible time.

The Krazy Gang!!

Just back from a week in Sankt Anton with a group of 12 from co kerry.....our apartments were in excellent locations and Mike was extremely helpful with all the logistics! We had the most amazing sunshine and beautiful powder on the higher slopes. We travelled to Lech and Zurs and home again on skis.......what a fabulous place! The accommodation was good value for money as this is one of the most expensive Austrian resorts. The skiing is also more challenging in this area however we all felt this improved everybody's skiing techniques!! Nothing like a good challenge!! I would highly recommend the Sidney Reilly website!

Mike was the perfect host to match the perfect accommodation for our Christmas get away. Mike couldn’t do more for us - from organising skis, lessons and day 1 shopping to offering excellent advice as to where to go on and off the slopes. The trip was fantastic and having the luxury of a bedroom for each teenager plus us parents meant that we all had loads of space to relax. The WiFi kept meant that the teenagers could keep up with their favourite series after a great day on the slopes. We also had easy access to town by bus or walk as well as being only 5 or so minutes to the best apres ski bars in the area. Without question we highly recommend Mike and this, or any of his other wonderful properties. Mike is the perfect host to have around. For us, getting everything sorted with Mike so quickly and effortlessly for the skiing before travelling meant that on day 1 we were able to hit the slopes with no fuss or need to waste time queuing - Mike also arranged a great ski instructor for our first day who got us into the groove. Great trip and highly recommended. The Bass family

We have just had another fabulous holiday in St Anton courtesy of Mike. He organised us a fantastic apartment with Sky TV and WiFi. Great storage for all the ski kit and well equipped kitchen as we like to eat in at night. Heated boot warmers were an unexpected plus! Mike organised our transfers, advised us on airports outside Innsbruck and great advice on ski/boot hire plus ski guiding. St Anton is now our resort of choice and Mike has made it easy for us to make that choice. We will be out in St Anton with Mike as soon as we can! Nicky and Alexander

Had a great time! Really helpful and friendly! Lovely apartment in a great location - above apres /on the slopes! But also quiet at night. Would highly recommend and we will be back.

George & Sam said...

Just wanted to send a quick note of thanks for your efforts on our behalf, Sam and I had a good time, a bit more skiing would have been nice, but I get a second go in a month! Still we had a good break, particularly enjoyed our day out to Lech and Apes on Tuesday!

We have just returned from Feb half term and have to write our praises for Mike. We are seasoned ski travellers and usually arrange all the details ourselves. Arriving by train into st anton, it was a joy to be picked up, helped with the ski rental, stop off at the super market and driven to the accomodation rather than sort it all out ourselves. The accomodation above the KK and Taps bars was just perfect for us (not luxury but certainly very comfortable and well looked after). Quielty busy during the day, crazy during happy hour (in a good way) and then quiet after 7/8pm with the extra fun of watching the well oiled skiers head home amongst the stunning mountain backdrop was just great. Ski in / ski out doesnt get any better than this! Mike was on hand at a moments notice to give advice and help arrange lifts etc. Really couldn't find any fault with the holiday. Having fresh bread delivered via Taps every morning was just the icing on the cake! Definitely recommend and I am sure we and our young teens will be back to make the most of the resort, apartment and Mike's service again.

We had an unbelievable trip to St Anton in March to shoot the video and imagery for our new skiwear brand Dinoski.

The apartment was right in the centre of town and Mike and Gabby were an amazing help for us.

We couldn't thank them enough and we hope to return every year.

Britta Bjerre/ Denmark said...

Mike - you are our hero and superman. Your excellent service and help during our stay was fantastic. The apartments location with ski and afterski in and out was spot on for the girls. We will definitely be back.

Ian said...

Great apartment in an excellent location. Easy walking to everything. We spent 5 days in St Anton with 2 small kids and having such a convenient apartment with everything so well arranged made it all so much better. No exaggeration when I say that this was a stand out holiday for us. Mike's recommendations were spot on and we felt well looked after.

Shane Dennis said...

We had the most fantastic time in St Anton.

Sidney was extremely helpful and the apartment was excellent value for money and positioned in the centre of town.

Sidney also gave us plenty of local advise that I am sure we would have missed otherwise.

By booking with Sidney you don’t only get an apartment but a concierge if you wish.

Dont book elsewhere, jus book with Sidney and you won’t regret it.

Regards

Shane, Eleisha, Mackenzie, Baxter and Raffertie

TAPS ski in / out apartments. “Great location, right on the ski hill, above some very happening apres ski bars. Loved getting fresh bakery items delivered each morning from bar below the unit.” “Thanks for a great week in St. Anton, we all loved it and your apartment is fantastic.” David Rickard, Canada

My group of friends and I have done a number of ski trips across the Alps. Our trip to St. Anton was the best in terms of service, accommodations, recommendations, and of course fun! Mike couldn't have been better. He picked us up from the airport for a reasonable rate and gave us great insight into all things St. Anton. He recommended 2 great restaurants along with all the good Apres ski places.

His insider tips were appreciated. Not to mention the rental rates on the Sidney Reilly website are much better than those found anywhere else.

We arrived as clients, and we left as friends!

We will definitely be back and will recommend it to anyone interested in listening.

Thanks, again Mike!
