Zamek Karpniki Schloss Fischbach

As usual, a perfect stay at a perfect place! We discovered Zamek Karpniki in August 2015 and have been returning there many times since. We love the ambience, we love the crew, we love the interior, we love the views, we love the food, we love the rooms, we love the spa, we love the courtyard and lazy moments spent there. You can expect peace and quiet when you come to Zamek Karpniki and other guests will be grateful if you also behave peacefully and quietly. It's a shelter from the busy world and we love it this way. The only suggestion: Zamek Karpniki should not be open to the public. It was good to see the dogs, the cats and now the ponies there. We'll come back as soon as we can, that's a promise!

We absolutely loved our experience here for our 5th wedding anniversary from start to finish. Staff were excellent and easily switched from polish to German or English as needed. The spa is in the basement of the castle and very well done. Our massages included in our package were fabulous. We ate both nights of our stay at the restaurant as we enjoyed it so much on our first night. You can eat inside our outside in the castle courtyard (weather permitting). Breakfast was one of the best vegetarian friendly buffets I have ever seen. A wide variety of salads and fresh seasonal dishes. Our room was at the top of the castle which was a bit of a workout with the stairs but 100% worth it and great exercise. The only feedback is the curtains did not block light coming into the room. It was quite bright and made it a challenge to fall asleep. The area surrounding the castle is beautiful and two ponies roam the grounds. It was such a magical stay and we can’t recommend it enough!

Just WOW - to stay in such a fantastic castle - touching history was an amazing experience. The decor, the staff, facilities and location were simply amazing. I was travelling by horse and carriage and it was a fabulous end to the trip. Amazing food, location and a spa

The castle is mediaeval in origin with several rebuilds. It still has a working moat (Pol: fosa) and is worth a visit just for this. No entrance unless your are a hotel or restaurant guest - restaurant has 'Warsaw' prices. I think it would be a good place to stay to get the true 'castle' atmosphere. There is a very nice white loggia by a small lake that, if you sit in it, offers a great view of the castle and the mountains in the background.

This polish region is very nice from the natural point of view. There are not too many luxury hotels. Most of them are converted from old palaces or aristocratic former mansions. We checked several and concluded that this hotel ( originally called Schloss Fischbach ) offers the best choice. It is housed in a castle-like building, build by a member of the Hohenzollern family as a summer retreat. After years of neglect it has been refurbished as a hotel with much detail and taste. Rooms are large, furnishing is in style with the building and the general atmosphere is of what you would expect from a “castle”. Public rooms on the first floor look amazingly close to what the Hohenzollern had in mind. The hotel does not have AC but all other modern conveniences are available. We had the Renaissance apartment consisting of an oversized bedroom and sitting room, with another separate Study room and a gigantic bathroom with huge cabin shower and bath tub. It was furnished with antiques, nice carpets and an outstanding XVIII tapestry. WIFI worked well, breakfast was great with a huge selection of vegetable dishes so generous it could be called a brunch. Dinner and lunch could be had in the same restaurant and the menu and food was excellent. I recommend dining in house. Reception and restaurant staff are well trained and kind. They have a Spa consisting of 2 saunas and a hot tub.

Wij verbleven er 3 nachten , alles is er super het personeel , het uitgebreid ontbijt en het restaurant. Het is heerlijk relaxen in de spa en de jacuzzi buiten. Ook het internet is overal bereikbaar. De kamers zijn mooi ingericht en in de badkamer is alles aanwezig, de kamer is ook snel te verwarmen.
