What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Originally a 19th-century Italian Palladian villa, it’s since undergone a series of Art Nouveau renovations, a marriage that yields extraordinarily crafted detail…
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set in the quiet village of Lieser, the castle borders riverfront walking paths minutes from the timbered houses of Bernkastel-Kues.
The rooms
Rooms feature crystalline chandeliers, period wainscoting, and tall windows framing views of either the river or steep hillside vineyards.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated indoor pool sits beneath a vaulted ceiling, finished with a mosaic crest and a swan-neck fountain.
The spa
Treatment rooms with stained-glass windows host herbal stamp massages, and wicker loungers rest in the vaulted relaxation lounge.
Thermal suite and gym
A marble-lined thermal area houses Finnish and bio saunas, a hammam, and a parquet-floored gym with cardio machines.
Dogs stay too.
Puricelli Restaurant
The dining room opens onto a stone river terrace, serving dishes like Hunsrück venison alongside local Moselle Rieslings.
At the table
Breakfast is served beneath chandeliers in the Orangerie, and evening cocktails are poured at the wooden castle bar.
How it began
Commissioned by industrialist Eduard Puricelli in 1884, the estate hosted German politicians who once gathered in its salons to debate policy.
