I recently enjoyed a much needed spa weekend. Set deep in the countryside in acres of woodland this family run hotel and spa offers a range of treatments to sooth the body and mind. Apart from various massages such as aroma oil and hot stone, beauty treatments and manicures / pedicures, there's also a good sized indoor pool, salt sauna, relax lounge and luxurious baths to choose from. I had saved up for this weekend for months, because treatments here are on the pricey side...but are worth the money, as I soon discovered!

Ich hatte mir vor kurzem ein Wellness Wochenende gegönnt. Das familiengeführte Hotel und Spa liegt im Erholungsgebiet Surenburger Wald in direkter Nachbarschaft zu Schloß Surenburg. Die Wellnesspakete umfassen verschiedene Massagen, z.B. Aromaöl, Hot-Stone, diverse Beauty-Behandlungen sowie Maniküre und Pediküre. Außerdem gibt es ein Pool, Salz Sauna, Ruheraum und luxuriöse Bäder zur Auswahl. Meine Behandlungen waren auf jeden Fall das Geld wert!
The spa is easy to miss as its location is so secluded and very quiet. Which is, of course, good news for light sleepers such as myself! The room itself was tastefully furnished in tones of burgundy and grey. And it had a lovely balcony overlooking the well-maintained garden. Bathrobes, sauna towels and slippers as well as bottled water had been thoughtfully provided.

Asparagus & wild mushroom ravioli with fresh veggies |
In between treatments I explored the surrounding area. I discovered a small moated castle a ten minute walk away. I wasn't able to go inside as it's privately owned, but even from afar it looked quite romantic. I came across a little brook, fields of purple lupines and said hello to a horse who was busy chomping on the fresh grass :)

Zwischen den Behandlungen habe ich die Umgebung erkundet. Das kleine Wasserschloss konnte ich nur aus der Ferne bewundern, da es im Privatbesitz ist. Mein Weg führte mich zu einem Bach, Lupinenfelder und zu einer Pferdekoppel. Dem Pferd sagte ich Hallo, aber es beachtete mich gar nicht, zu sehr war es damit beschäftigt das frische Gras zu knabbern :)

Obwohl es auf dem Zimmer kostenloses WLAN gab, hatte ich mir vorgenommen die meiste Zeit offline zu bleiben. Umso mehr habe ich die Ruhe und die Behandlungen genossen. Auch der Spaziergang im Wald wirkte auf mich sehr entspannend. Ein gelungenes Wochenende, welches leider viel zu schnell zu Ende ging...
Looks like such a lovely place, I can imagine you came back from your trip very relaxed! And the ravioli with veggies looks delicious.

How wonderful! It looks so peaceful. The photos are beautiful. I really love how the reflection of the castle shows in the water so perfectly.
ReplyDeleteSounds like such a nice, relaxing pamper weekend. Lovely photos, especially the tree lined path and the spa with the pretty pink flowers in front. Definitely looks like it was worth the months of saving. Glad you could treat yourself before coming back to a busy work week :)
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! What a lovely place to spend the weekend!
ReplyDeleteO!!! so amazing place!
ReplyDeleteThose purple lit baths and the soothing rooms look amazing enough before you even consider the gardens and charming buildings! Looks like a wonderful place to get much needed rest before getting back to work.
