Endroit idéal pour une retraite stylée
Pros:

Le lieu, au milieu de la nature. La déco du lieu et particulièrement les peintures murales du bâtiment principal qui donnent un cachet indéniable. Très bon restaurant.

Cons:

Pas d’accès au spa avec la chambre

Pros:

Уединённая атмосфера, красивый лес и природа кругом. Просторная комната и ванная с феном и всеми принадлежностями. Чистое белое всё бельё. Приятно что баня на номер резервируется и вы только вдвоём и там чай есть с мёдиком.

Cons:

Нет чайника в номере и супер маленький холодильник минибар. Небыло кондиционера и не хватало сетки москитной на окнах, всё время шершень хотел залететь, комнату не проветрить, жарковато 14 июня.

Sehr romantisch, sehr guter Komfort, gutes Essen. Alles perfekt.
Pros:

Mitten im Wald aber ganz in der Nähe von Cēsis. Die hotelanlage besteht aus mehreren Häusern mit wenigen Zimmern. Freundliches Personal, sehr gutes Abendessen.

Cons:

Hotel ist im Wald was sehr gemütlich ist, aber viele Mücken, deshalb konnten wir die Fenster nicht öffnen. Dadurch war es im Zimmer sehr stickig. Tipp: an einem der Fenster ein mückengitter anbringen.
