Talaria Resort&Spa

The resort is located in the middle of nowhere, with a surrounding space which is nice in the spring and summer. Despite the 4 stars, the resort is poor quality in some services and overall doesn't justify the excessive price to pay, and it's far away from a resort if it wasn't for the SPA. The internet connection is very bad in the entire palace, and not working at all in the pool area. Also, the pool area is extremely cold with cold air coming out the ventilation system, which is uncomfortable after going out from Jacuzzi/pool/sauna. On the top of that, there are very few spaces available for sitting or lying down, the jacuzzi also has some spaces not working, (but at least is very warm) and having a locker may be difficult too as they are a few and always full. However, the SPA treatments and massages are extremely suggested, for example the massage with fire is a unique experience to try. Also the different saunas are very relaxing, even not turned on if you arrive to the SPA area before 10am. Rooms are cold, despite radiators at max but just warm. In the palace, rooms still look like the first year of building the resort and are not very curated. For example, some lights not working. A very positive feedback goes to the food, which is outstanding for lunch and dinner, refined and abundant. A pity for the breakfast, which is very limited in sweet options, however, it offers a great selection of local foods such as cheese, honey, marmelade, etc. Overall a good experience for few days, hopefully there will be some improvements to make the experience even better.

This is my second time in Talaria. I enjoy its relaxed atmosphere, luxurious in Western European way: egalitarian and not pompous. I usually don't enjoy the snobbish spas, where people come to be pretentious. Talaria offers the calm, peace, silence BUT only outside the weekends. Weekends are just crowded and indeed for the number of people the spa offer is just limited. Also, because of the Polish culture, people enter spas in swimming suits what raises sanitary concerns. They probably also don't shower BEFORE taking a sauna or swimming. There is no awarness raising in this respect by the staff. So, it is healthier for your body and soil to come during the slower periods.

Great SPA area, especially hammam and herbal room. Calming surrounding, good place to rest. Very very kind and helpful staff - thank you for your help and service during the meals! I will be back for sure. The only thing I can "complain" about is that the it is a heritage building and you can hear some noise through the walls - it doesnt bother too much, though.
