Country Spa Retreat

The retreat is praised for its cleanliness, spacious rooms, and attentive service. Guests enjoy the luxurious spa facilities and the convenient location near the airport and Lake Snagov.

The place where you don't want to leave and, once you've left, where you can't wait to come back. From the special attention to the smallest details and the ergonomics of the spaces, to the generous dimensions and design of the rooms, everything quickly induces a feeling of well-being that you want to keep as long as possible. The restaurant's menu is very balanced and built around the best quality products and the service is excellent. The bread and cheeses produced in house are very, very tasty. The therapies at the SPA are varied and the mixed team (Romanian - Asian) does an excellent job. Here I really appreciated the massage but also the discussion with Gabriel, the therapist who knows and applies very well the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. So,we couldn't wait to come back.

My wife asked me what I thought and I said this must be where good people go after they die. Why am I here? A small hotel in a building resembling a 19th century Villa, with smoothly stuchoed walls with marble details. Inside traditional dark wood furniture, plush curtains and plenty of staff in semi traditional uniform. The bright modern spa is a few yards across a dusty unmade road. Beautifully planted gardens, two pools, outdoor eating areas, billiard room and a delightful almost Vienese style dining room. You'll probably arrive by taxi, so do t let the dusty track put you off. Just kick off your shoes and enjoy the peace and quiet. This place is probably a weekend retreat from Bucharest, so as a foreigner you get an authentic Romanian experience and prices considerably lower than the capital. I'm worried if this place gets too busy I'll ever get back. Its a great Se ret to keep. The food is superb, the wine well chosen and well priced for a hotel. It's kid friendly too, but subtly demands clientelle to be respectful of others. The chef certainly knows his onions and I think the kitchen grows its own food in the surrounding, lush allotments. Portions are generous, starters are full sized plates as are salads. The room we were given was in fact a full suite, lounge, vast well equipped bathroom, and generous king sized bedroom. Decoration in the rooms is very comfortable, high quality as are the bathroom fittings. The door was key operated, which added to the charm of the place. If I had to search for an issue, it would be a lack of a lift but a good, wide staircase gets you up to the rooms. Staff are friendly and they mix drinks and serve food with professionalism and pride.
