What a darling place! Located among apple trees with walking trails headed through the woods the owners have thought of a dozen ways to make your stay perfect. Lights in the back with hammocks for your comfort, a firepit, swings and soccer for the kids. The room was cozy and warm. Cesis was wonderful, but Karlamuiza makes you want to just stay and be in the beautiful countryside of the hotel.

Wonderfully isolated cottage (Annmarie)
It’s away from the main building (700 m walk along the road, but there’s a shortcut) in a beautiful area.
We enjoyed our stay, except for the couch. When we both sat on it, it automatically turned into a pull-out bed. Worked well when only one person sat on it.
There’s no shower, but a tub with a handheld shower head. The tub itself was very comfortable.

We had an amazing stay at Karlamuiza, our room was spacious and had very nice views, the bed was very comfortable. The surrounding property is gorgeous. The staff and hosts were friendly and incredibly helpful and accommodating. The dinner was amazing, not to be missed. It might seem pricey but we discovered that it was well worth it, Baiba is an amazing chef, she uses local fresh ingredients in a very creative way. We did the Sauna Ritual offered through the hotel, it was an incredible experience that was nothing like anything we’ve ever done. It opens the senses and connects one to nature and felt like we were experiencing an integral part of ancient Latvian culture. It was rainy that day so it was perfect to have the opportunity to slow down and relax. Overall I highly recommend Karlmuiza as not only a nice place to stay but a wonderful experience.

We had the luck of staying the weekend when a nearby town, Cesis, was celebrating its 819th birthday. We went to the festival and had a lot of fun. This inn is conveniently located on a trip from Tallin, Estonia to Riga, Latvia.

Un jardin superbe, une rivière pas loin, de nombreuses balades à faire et des cigognes !
De belles chambres bien équipées et un petit déjeuner buffet fourni avec beaucoup de produits frais (ça change).
Si vous voulez dîner, pensez à commander avant 16h car tout est fait à la demande manifestement. Et pas de restaurant à proximité.
L’hôtel nous a dépanné gracieusement avec des desserts vu notre heure tardive d’arrivée (nous n’avions pas commandé)

Schöne Unterkunft, alles wie auf den Fotos, Höhepunkt ist das Abendessen, es gibt für alle das gleiche 3-Gang-Menü mit Gemüse aus eigenem Anbau, bei schönem Wetter wird im Garten serviert, Menü kostet 35€ ( nicht 29€ wie in der Mail der Unterkunft angegeben), ist aber auch 35€ wert. Einziger Mangel: Duschtür war defekt, so hatte man während des Duschens plötzlich die Tür in der Hand. Gem. Info der Eigentümer sei der Mangel bekannt, eine vorherige Info oder eine nachträgliche Entschuldigung wären hier hilfreich gewesen, daher Punktabzug

Perfect start and finish for your Amata hiking!
We stayed for two nights at the Elisabeth room - loved waking up to storks flying and birds singing in the yet unblown apple trees was fantastic, nevermind the rain :)
The service was friendly and the food was good! Best carrot cake I had ever had and my partner loved the freshly caught trouts! Comfort was good, we both would have preferred a harder bed and softer chairs by the table, but these things are personal preferences, not criticism. Everything was clean and it was a very pleasant stay overall. We would return there and if you are thinking of walking the nature trails, I would not know a better location to start off from and a better room and atmosphere to wish for! We most certainly do recommend this place!

Lovely hotel, amazing experience
We had a lovely stay in this family hotel. The location is nice, in a remote place in the national park so you definitely need a car to reach it although we were told in the summer you can reach Cesis in two hours. The ladies running the hotel were really friendly and even let us use the sauna at 10.30 pm because we spent the evening in Cesis. Overall, I really recommend the hotel and wouldn't definitely return there if ever in Latvia again.

It was a short drive from the Cesis Castle. The room is beautifully decorated, clean, tidy and spacious. There's a small kitchen where you can have light meal arranged by yourself. There's also a small washing machine which is good for small scale laundry. The hotel is located the national park which is a bit rural, so we have pre-booked dinner with the hotel. There's a small pond in front of the hotel and the environment is nice and beautiful. We took a short walk around the field and nearby the hotel for pictures. The night we arrived was my wife's birthday and we had the dinner at the hotel. The host was so nice to have prepared a candle in the mousse cake for our celebration. Will certainly recommend it.
