Fodor's Expert Review Schloss Prielau

Attentive hosts Anette and Andreas Mayer take extra special care of their guests in this fairy-tale castle, with its turreted towers and striped shutters. Some of the elegantly furnished rooms, decked out with traditional carved-wood furniture, can be a bit dim because of the narrow windows. But the service will make you feel as if you're the newest member of royalty to take up residence here. The hotel restaurant offers standard fare, while the award-winning Mayer's gourmet restaurant serves more sophisticated cuisine. You can rent the whole castle for an unforgettable event.
