Very nice chateau / hotel with my only point being the dinner is far too expensive and limited. They already have you there paying top $ I think it's wrong to then charge soo much for food and drinks in the evening.

Fabulous hotel nestled in the lap of nature. Since there are only 8 rooms in the hotel, service is amazing. However it is secluded and not much to do other than enjoying the hotel itself. Recommended for couples.

Arriving at the gates of the chateau you may be mistaken for thinking that you have been transported to the land of fairytales. The grandeur of this castle takes hold of you from the moment you arrived to when you finally have to leave. ROOMS We stayed in the presidential suite, room 10. My first thought walking in was the sheer size it's truly massive 2x the size of my whole apartment. The living area with its ceiling frescos was a luxury touch that can only be found in places of this quality. The bed was super comfy & they even offer a pillow menu. The bathroom of this room was by far the most spectacular element of the room, truly the largest & most beautiful bathroom that I have ever seen with its double basins & freestanding bath with views out to the garden. COMMON AREAS Inside the castle, there are multiple area’s to sit & read a book or have a drink with friends & family. The castle is surrounded by an old English garden, a beautiful setting in the summer for a picnic. The smell of the flora & sound of the birds was hypnotic. SERVICES From the free Mercedes convertible car rental to the L’Occitane spa. Wellness & relaxation is a key feature of the hotel. With its pool, gym, sauna & steam rooms all included it was a great way to get away from the trouble of the modern world. They also have a full range of massages that are done with natural ingredients. RESTAURANT A beautiful place with painted frescos we managed to eat here one evening & the food was spectacular, I would defiantly recommend the duck. The complimentary breakfast is served here. I have to say that this was the best hotel breakfast I have ever had. It is all à la cart, order what you like they have an amazing array of local produce it was one of the highlights of the day. Ask to sit outside if it's sunny. LOCATION Just over an hour away from Prague in a small village it's the perfect weekend getaway. A lot of interesting town & villages in the local area to explore in the convertible.

2nd time here, this time in the summer and even more enjoyable ! Excellent food, accommodation and service. Highly recommend the delicious picnic in the English park.

First of all, this is a lovely hotel with dedicated staff. I do think there is a room for improvement though, hence the 4/5 rating. The property is beautiful and very well kept. Guests can relax in their garden (they have hammocks!), spa, restaurant, terrasse, library etc. They welcome you with a complimentary drink and a rose which itself is very special. I don't think I have ever gotten a flower in any other hotel. The rooms are generously sized and they have apartments too if your budget allows it. Selection of loose tea, complimentary pralines, honey and also dried lemon pieces (what a lovely detail) can be found in the room together with fresh apples. However, no coffemaker, only instant coffee and basic kettle ruin the impression to some degree. I was amazed that they provide kids sized bathrobes (in different little sizes) as well as slippers for the children. I have not seen that anywhere. The pool is big enough for swimming and the water was warm. They also have steam and several types of sauna. However, there is no changing room with showers in the wellness area, just a tiny locker room down the hall. At the pool toilet and no door single shower is located and this is where it gets weird. I would assume every decent person will shower after they had been to toilet before entering the pool. There is no way how to do it discreetly if there are people at the pool though. I am pretty sure the naked person can be seen from certain angles / parts of wellness. To have a screen door installed that would also indicate if the shower cabin is occupied or not sounds like a no brainer. The hot tub (30 min complimentary) is pretty aged and the jets barely work. I am not the first one mentioning this in a review but it seems this is on the management's priority list somewhere at the bottom. I would had liked a bit more light at the sauna area. There is a list of rules but you can't read those because how dark it is. Another thing I did not like about the wellness is that you are not allowed to wear rubber flip flops or any other pool shoes behind the door. I might be a bit of a germophobe but I was uncomfortable walking barefoot where others did including the shower or toilet. The idea is that dirt might get from the hall to the wellness area. As the receptionist walks barefoot in both areas, this is plain theory. Breakfast was great as one would expect in a 5 star hotel and the fact it was served in the privacy of my room for no surcharge was very much appreciated. As for the dinner, the food was ok but not memorable. It also took a while to be noticed by the staff even though there were hardly any other guests at the restaurant at that time. Towels did not impress me. I prefer large and fluffy. Minibar could had included more healthy options such as smoothie or sugar-less bars and biscuits. At the check out I was asked to make a small donation towards the local elementary school. I found that weird and inappropriate. As a hotel guest you are already supporting the village by paying the obligatory municipality fees. If the hotel wants to support their local community beyond that, they can do it directly without trying to make guests feel guilty if they refuse. Also, if they really want to support kids in a meaningful way, I suggest contributing towards autism education in this country. We are decades behind the West when it comes to the special needs schools. As you can probably say, it touched the raw nerve but I won't keep rambling :). A few small biscuits were given at the check out as a gift. I very much enjoyed my stay at Heralec.

Beautiful and spacious rooms with lots of windows to view the beautiful grounds. The staff was excellent. Our rate entitled us to use their Mercedes to ride around the countryside which is beautiful. The food was excellent as was the service. The staff was very helpful and responded to all requests. The old growth tress in the back provide a wonderful setting for and after dinner stroll. Highly recommend.

We have had an amazing time there. Beautiful place, everything super clean and the staff always happy to help. Nice spa, not very big, but also not crowdy, so ideal for us and for anyone who wants to relax. The breakfast was delicious, the dinner was good but not amazing.

Absolutely top experience. There is not a single aspect one could complain about. The receptionist came to invite us to the entrance with a smile (even though we arrived shortly before 10pm). The castle's exteriors and interiors were very sensitively restored and decorated. The rooms have ... everything. I was fascinated by a bowl with fresh fruits. Probably the best apples I have ever had. The restaurant offers marvelous dishes from the Czech cuisine mostly from local resources. I cant recommend the place enough.

Beautiful hotel with really attentive staff. Welcomed from the minute we entered with a rose and drink, rooms are beautiful with lots of space, service was amazing with staff recollecting even small details. Beautiful grounds, would've loved to have enjoyed them more if the wet weather had have stayed away. Whilst hotel was full, you would not have known, a very relaxing place to stay which made our weekend even more memorable

Very cozy and calm place. Amazing chateau to spend few days and get some rest from city life. Beautiful and comfortable rooms, small but at the same time enough spa area, hotel offers also some options for outdoor activities. If you are searching for place for romantic weekend you should definitely visit Chateau Herálec.

Beautiful castle, delicious food and excellent service. great swimming pool

Believe the hype, this place was magical! My husband and I recently were in the Czech Republic undergoing medical treatments and we had the pleasure of staying at Chateau Heralec. The staff were incredibly welcoming and the grounds, rooms and chateau are in immaculate condition. We live in rural Canada and often find it hard to sleep when we travel but it was so calm and quiet each evening and the beds were so comfortable that it was so easy to feel relaxed and at ease. You could see the stars at night, and the grounds have trails amongst the trees that are perfect for strolling. Their thoughtful approach to having activities that appeal to all is apparent and we felt like there was so much to do and explore. Driving the mercedes through the countryside looking at different castle ruins was a highlight, and the spa was beautiful and well maintained. We found it was well located and castles and other attractions were within short driving distance and were not crowded. If you are looking for night life though, this place may not be for you. Overall I was delighted with the value and experience. The only feedback I'd suggest: -If a couple reserves the fire menu, it would be nice to have a reserved sign. We had a romantic dinner planned and some other guests wandered up and helped themselves to the fire! Not the end of the world, but would be great to have some options there. -Additional options for fresh food/groceries for those who have dietary restrictions since the nearby options are limited.

Chateau Heralec is a magical, amazing place with a dreamlike atmosphere set in beautiful nature in Vysocina. We went for our anniversary and it was perfect from beginning to end. Lovely staff, great food, an excellent wellness centre and gym, a beautifully maintained building and grounds. The thought behind every little detail and touch was evident. It was a thoroughly calming and reinvigorating experience and we will definitely return.
