Relaxed holiday in the countryside and on the waterfront
Discover Berlin from its natural side!
Like almost no other capital city in Europe, Berlin combines idyllic locations by the water and in the countryside with the cultural diversity of a big city.
Many hotels in Berlin are idyllically situated by forests, parks and lakes - and yet are only a short train journey or a short walk from the city centre. Why not combine your next holiday in Berlin with relaxation in the countryside! We have put together a few selected hotels in the countryside in Berlin for you.
DAS SCHMÖCKWITZ
Relax inquiet seclusion on the shores of Lake Wernsdorf: DAS SCHMÖCKWITZ welcomes you to an elegant manor house surrounded by extensive, park-like grounds and plenty of woodland and water. In the manor house and the garden house you will find a total of 93 charming and stylish rooms, and the hotel also includes the beautiful Wintergarten restaurant with a large terrace.
The Pizzeria ZOLA is located directly in the manor house, where you can enjoy genuine Neapolitan pizza - prepared in a wood-fired oven - with a view of the garden and lake.
