Chateau Heralec & Spa by l'Occitane

Chateau Heralec was truely beautiful… every detail! The service was great, all staff spoke very well English and was very kind. The food and wine was delicious. A great place to spend the weekend and enjoy wonderful wellness facilities! Hope to be back very soon!

The chateau is pretty much off the beaten path. It is situated in a small village not far from one of the main highways of Czechia. It has been turned into a luxury small hotel and is a great experience. It is for people that like to spend some unwinding time in a quiet place. The restaurant is also quite nice and we enjoyed our breakfasts and dinners there. We stayed two nights while we were between major destinations and really enjoyed. Staff are efficient and very friendly. We are glad we decided to stay here--pretty much based on Trip Advisor reviews.

I and my friend absolutely enjoyed our 2-nights stay. The place is absolutely stunning and nearly in the middle of nowhere. A receptionist came up to our room and showed us all around. It was very unusual for us. We dined in at dinner time. I had absolutely delicious Czech creamy dill soup with mushrooms. My friend had a veal steak with roasted cabbage and thick american chips. As I am a brunch fan, I had big breakfasts. It was also gastronomic experience.I would only say confidently that I had eaten a way better scrambled eggs elsewhere. Otherwise, I can recommend a muschroom omelete, baked musli with plain yoghurt, chateau little sausages and crepes. We enjoyed sauna, whirpool, swimming pool...There are two fitness rooms very very very well equipped :) Amazing! We were blessed to have the whole chateau for ourselves for one day. It was one of the top experience I have ever had...it makes such a great difference when you get the privilliege to be away in silence and peace. I loved and enjoyed the stay in maximum. I don't think I will come back because I'd rather experience something else rather than the same I had already experienced. Yet, I highly recommend it to those who want to enjoy luxurious and original type of stay. I'd suggest them to put more pictures on walls in hallways. Some parts of the hallways looked clinical and pale. In 5-star hotel I'd also expect a coffee machine available in guest rooms with nice coffee, rather than literally only a couple of instant 2 in 1 Nescafe sachets.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Five stars for service, facilities, food and cleanliness. This place was beautiful and I wish we could have stayed for more than one night.

Very private, beautifully renovated castle, the rooms are spacious and even if the castle is very old, the design of the rooms is kind of mix of old and very modern design. The staff is very professional and the outmost for making the stay as good as possible and beyond. The spa is great. Definitely recommend massage - the best I have had for a long time. The restaurant is definitely a top. We had 6 courses degustation menu and all dishes were just amazing. The breakfast was top.

We spent 4 nights at Chateau Heralec. Our room was large, clean and thoughtfully arranged. A wide range of literature was provided, including bedtime stories (local folktales), a history of the Chateau and helpful maps (which we used on our daily local walks). We took many peaceful strolls among the big, old trees in the vast Chateau gardens. We also made use of the saunas and steamroom in the beautiful and clean spa area. The Chateau staff, from the Reception to the chambermaids, were professional, pleasant and helpful. Our delicious breakfasts and dinners were made more enjoyable by the cheerful and knowledgeable Ms. šárka - our lovely waitress. So glad we were able to experience this bit of heaven in the Czech countryside!

A castle transformed into a heaven on Earth! It has been our second time at Chateau Heralec: I have found it in a ranking of the top 10 castle hotels in the world – it is totally deserved and here is why: Everything was as if it was renovated just before our visit and all areas incl. the rooms were exceptionally clean. All members of the castle staff are very friendly and helpful – they do everything to make your stay unforgettable. The spa area offers everything you need for a complete relax experience, incl. a large pool and saunas. The location of the castle is in a quite area, you can enjoy the silence for example in the Silencarium right by the castle garden. We have also visited the hot tub in the castle tower – an enchanting experience. The castle restaurant is also fantastic: menu with variety, yet not too long to ensure absolute freshness. Ingredients come from local sources, some of them even from the castle garden. In a nutshell: Chateua Heralec is a splendid paradise. We will definitely visit this stunning place again! Milos R.
