Hotels for wine lovers

The world of wine is fascinating and wine lovers are very special people. They know a lot about the influence of soil on taste, sugar content, tannins and other such information. For their passion they take trips to vineyards or wine tasting holidays to famous vineyards. That's how wine-lovers' hotels came into being, designed and decorated to be as pleasant and attractive as possible. I have chosen to present 5 such hotels, located in different parts of the world.

1. Hotel De Vrouwe van Stavoren, Netherlands

Hotel De Vrouwe van Stavoren in the Netherlands attracts tourists with its unique rooms. Tourists are accommodated in wine barrels with a volume of 15,000 litres. The barrels have been furnished with a bedroom with 2 beds, a bathroom, a living room and everything you need for a hotel room. There was wine in these barrels, which is also certified by the presence of a specific smell inside.

The barrels were wine containers in a castle in France for years before becoming hotel rooms. Wine lovers staying here can choose between red or white wine barrels, depending on their preferences.

2. The Yeatman Hotel in Porto, Portugal

The Yeatman is a luxury hotel located in an area famous for Port wine. Beds are set in wine barrels, and the views of the surrounding vineyards are stunning. The hotel has rooms sponsored by local wine producers and are decorated with special objects and paintings.

The hotel's wine cellar has one of the most complete collections of Portuguese wines. Wine tastings, seminars and dinners accompanied by famous wines are held here, offering wine lovers a unique experience. There is also a Spa in the hotel where only cosmetic products made with wine extracts are used.

3. El Lagar de Issila, La Vid, Spain,

The Isilla Pond is a boutique hotel in an old building that has preserved the original traditional colonial style on the outside. Inside, however, the owner, an enthusiastic wine lover, has decorated the rooms with objects made from empty bottles, barrels, corks and boxes. Each room is decorated with unique objects and paintings inspired by wine and the surrounding wine region.

4. Rita's Calm, Pirque, Chile,

Rita's Calm is a hostel overlooking the mountains. It's decorated with 1960s artefacts, making a stay there feel like a trip back in time. Wine lovers' rooms are set in 14,000-litre wine barrels. Tourists can visit the surrounding vineyards on foot, horseback or bicycle. For those who want to relax, there's also a sauna set up - where do you think? - in an old wine barrel.

5. Hotel Lindenwirt, Rudesheim, Germany

Hotel Lindenwirt in Rudesheimis located in the Rhine valley. The hotel is set up like a wine cellar, with old wine barrels with a capacity of 6000 litres, which have been restored and fitted out for habitation. Each room has 2 beds, its own bathroom and a special name. The name of a local vineyard is written on the entrance door.

All of the above areas are beautiful places whose charm is enhanced by these unique accommodations. I believe that the organisers of the "Wine Trail", which runs through some of Romania's famous vineyards, can also find inspiration in these arrangements.
