What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
An idyllic building amid forests and fields only ten minutes from the Baltic.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Pastures and woodland surround the estate village, while the Baltic shoreline of Hohwacht Bay is a ten-minute drive north.
The rooms
Rooms occupy the estate's former dairy and schoolhouse, finished in calm country tones with suites named after wine grapes.
The spa
Restaurant Ole Liese
Sage-green wainscoting lines the dining room, and terrace tables look straight out across the estate's horse paddocks.
How it began
An 18th-century prince granted his stable hand a tavern license in exchange for tending his favorite retired mare, Ole Liese.
