'The Sound of Music' remains one of Hollywood's all-time greatest hits and soon you'll be able to stay at the Von Trapp's family villa featured in the movie.
The villa located in Austria will open as a hotel in July. Known as the 'Villa Trapp Hotel', it will give visitors a chance to sleep in the bedrooms from the movie or get married in the chapel.
"The hotel really is a milestone for the commercialization of The Sound Of Music for Salzburg," says Leo Bauernberger from the Salzburg provincial tourism board, who
considers the movie "truly a stroke of luck for this city."
And why not, out of the roughly 700,000 overnight tourist stays every year in the city -- 40 percent of them cite the film and its locations as the sole reason for their visit.
