Eastern Slovakia
Perched on a hill 2.5km south of town, it's hard to beat the glorious views from this well-priced retreat. Hardwood furniture gives rooms a grand feel, while the tiled floors keep them naturally cool in summer. It's worth paying a little more for 'superior' rooms with baroque trimmings, oxblood throws and most importantly, views of rolling greenery.
The biggest perks are the forested grounds and luxurious wellness centre (per person €10).
