Kaple sv. Markéty — Hotel in okres Žďár nad Sázavou

This place was chosen as a "base camp" for our Tour de Santini weekend and we could hardly choose a better one. Since the booking of the room, the communication from the owner´s side was very opened and absolutely friendy, providing all useful detail in advance. For those, who are inerested in Jan Blazej Santini Eichel´s (JBSE) architectural masterpieces the Zdar nad Sazavou is the place, where some of his master works are located. And in the heart of it is the pension St. Margaret´s Chapel.|The facility itself is at the main Santini street, but bedrooms are situated to the other, more quiet site. Parking is just at the other side of the street. The lady at the reception was incredebly friedly and kind. The way to our room led through a lovely backyard with cozy rest places and private sauna. At the groud floor, there is a fireplace, which we´ve enjoyed (with splendid Alsatian red wine) every evening before the dinner. Our room was more than 100% ready, tidy, clean. The house offers for dinner either a local trout from Kinski´s packets or Alsatian Trate Flambe (Alsatian pizza), we´ve had both and both (accompanied with exceptional Alsatian wines) were delicious. The breakfests were at the same level as any other servis provided - georgeous, esp. egg specialities and home made pies! All JBSE´s buildings in Zdar are, with exception of the Church of the Holy Trinity, at 2,5km), in a perimeter of about 1km from the penzion. |If I may rate the St. Margaret´s Chapel penzion on a scale of one-to-five stars, I give them seven with a high recommendation to visit. |Finally, I would like to thank once again to the owner&staff for astonishing weekend we´ve spend at St.Margaret´s Chapel! See you next...

We arrived relatively late so there was some doubt about whether we could get some dinner but the one girl on duty did make us some food food, although it took a while.All the time we were eating there was loud music from a town festival next door, which continued until 10pm, luckily no later. Of course the hotel could do nothing about this. The next day we went round and saw what was going on: there was a stage for music and food stalls. Our rooms were very clean and well equipped and the Pension has been converted from part of the convent in an interesting way with an arresting staircase which descends into the restaurant. In the garden there was interesting artwork and a wonderful jungle of plants. One could have breakfast out there. I had a good omelette for my breakfast as well as lovely bread.||Parking is across the road but not far and there is a certain amount of traffic noise on the road side but the garden side would be quiet.The next morning they were happy for us to leave the car there while we visited the pilgrimage church of St John Nepomuk. The museum and castle looked interesting too but we did not have time to see those, although we did go briefly into the...

A beautiful setting of the place an old monastery , I think. Was here when it was snow and very cold outside. Place was quite. ||Room was big with a kitchen area. They seams to have also a restaurant in the warmer period of the year. |Breakfast was a feast, temptation of sweet cakes and pancakes which varied from day to day. And for me very important, a good espresso!||All the cold weather and slow season feeling was forgotten by the warmth we where treated. Simply made us feel very welcome. Especially the nice gesture they did for my colleague. He had an 11 hours drive ahead of him, when he was about to leave did they come with a pack of sandwiches, fantastic. We are not used to this in Hong Kong !||Stay here if you...
