There is a huge variety of different accommodations to choose from. Everything from holiday apartments and self-catering houses to fantastic hotels or houseboats. I haven't tried the houseboat yet, but it is high up on my list. This time around we chose a hotel and stayed at the Schloss Fleesensee, one of the most fabulous hotels in the area. Built-in 1842 the Schloss today has 179 rooms and suites, 2 restaurants, a beautiful bar, a large golf course next to the hotel, and an extensive spa with an outdoor pool. The staff of the hotel was exceptionally friendly and caring, the food was delicious throughout (they either grow their food on-site or use regional products only in all their F&B outlets) and we felt very well looked after during our stay. Our rooms were in one of the side wings of the hotel and were a bit older. They were large, spotless, and very well maintained and I believe they will receive a little upgrade in the near future.
Food & Drink
During our stay, we tried all F&B outlets of the hotel, except for the fine dining restaurant Blücher by Lafer. But I have heard many good things about it and would definitely try it should we go back in the future. With regards to the food we were being served during our stay, I only have really good things to say. Not a single dish we tried disappointed. Breakfast was served buffet style and there is an inside and outside area to sit. If it is warm I recommend the terrace as you have stunning views of the trees and the golf course. The restaurant from the inside is also beautifully decorated and looked great. The choice of dishes and drinks was huge and everything we tried was delicious. My personal favourite was the custom-made omelette and waffles, so tasty!! We also had dinner in the stylish bar which was delicious and so was the cake and coffee we shared one afternoon. If you are into food, this is a great place for you. We had a small dog and my little niece (who was ten months old at the time) with us and the staff couldn't have been nicer. And on our last day, it was my mum's birthday and we even received a celebratory glass of bubbly with our breakfast. Very thoughtful!
The Spa looked beautiful, offered a great selection of treatments and massages together with an indoor and outdoor pool. As the weather was still nice and warm we could make use of the outdoor pool which was a real treat! The pool is an infinity pool leading directly to the park and it is a very special feeling swimming there under those stunning trees. Behind the Schloss is this lovely park which eventually becomes the hotel's golf course. We loved our stay and can wholeheartedly recommend a visit Good food, attentive service, and a really nice atmosphere all around. Maybe just a tip, if you are travelling with children, they are only allowed in the pool area if they are older than 14 years.
