Chateau Appony

城堡酒店，安靜，環境優美，感覺不錯。

Great expectations, but even greater disappointment. But the food and staff were fantastic. We were very pleased with the bowling and our friends were very satisfied with the wellness. For us in the future, just a stop for lunch, but we will find other accommodation.

Where do I begin? My same sex partner had tried to book a weekend stay but it was busy with a wedding. So we arrived on the 31st July. I have to praise the receptionist. She was so accommodating, allowed us to leave wellness gear behind the counter and even praised my Slovak. Lunch was wonderful: such a beautiful setting and the attention the main waiter made was excellent. The pea soup was great. Then there was the library tour for which you pay extra: it was a bit like a Harry Potter experience. I loved the enthusiasm of the guide. My partner is Slovakian and he did interpret important points but I think the chateau does need to make its English paper guides more extensive. However, I was very impressed how at the end of the tour the guide took the time to give a resume in English and I appreciate his effort. Then we went to the wellness centre. I loved the receptionist, a lady with dark hair in her fifties. She was so welcoming. The swimming pool is alright and the different saunas good. My only suggestion would be to be able to have a glass of bubbly delivered from the restaurant to the terrace. Criticism: the men’s changing room was ridiculously hot. It needs some fresh air. Would I go back? Definitely. A great afternoon finished by a beer on the terrace. Dakujem.
