Villa-Art

Bohemia


Owner Miroslav Paral has transformed this 19th-century villa into a cosy but modest pension in the spa's upper end. Rooms are situated on two levels, with some upper-level rooms sporting balconies and shared kitchens. The baths have had a makeover and are gleaming. Rooms have wood floors and solid-wood beds and desks. Guests take their breakfast at the downstairs cafe.
