The family villa which inspired the classic musical movie The Sound Of Music is set to open as a hotel in July.

The Austrian home of the original Von Trapp family, who were the inspiration behind the beloved film, will be a working hotel in the summer.

The movie was based on the true story of aspiring nun Maria, who sang her way into the hearts of Baron Von Trapp and his brood of children.

The story was made famous by the 1965 film, which starred Julie Andrews as the singing governess Maria. The film went on to become the third most successful movie of all time in the U.S.
