Lonely Planet review for Schloss Hellbrunn
An archbishop with a wicked sense of humour, Markus Sittikus built the yellow-painted Schloss Hellbrunn in the 17th century as a pleasure palace and an escape vault from his functions at Residenz. The Italianate villa became a wild retreat for rulers of state who flocked here to eat, drink and generally be merry. It was a Garden of Eden to all who beheld its exotic fauna, citrus trees and trick fountains – designed to sober up quaffing clerics without dampening their spirits. Domenico Gisberti, poet to the court of Munich, once penned: ‘I see the epitome of Venice in these waters, Rome reduced to a brief outline.’

Gorgeous grounds worth a second look
salsa_girl recommends this,
We made a brief stop at Hellbrunn, to see the famous gazebo, during our Sound Of Music Tour. The gardens were beautiful! Plenty of walking trails and a nice park with a playground. I only wish that our stay in Salzburg had afforded enough time to return for a tour of the house and the grounds in their entirity.
