Laugu Holiday Resort, Laugu Turismitalu — Hotel in Saaremaa vald

It seems that many of the folks who have stayed here and written a review are cyclists. That makes sense, whether it's an organized tour or you're independent, as the ferry docks in Leisi late in the day and it's a quick ride before dark. Whether you're cycling or driving, a detour to Laugu Turismitalu is the right choice. Estonia pretty much closes up come September, so I was their only guest. Uku and Anneka were waiting for me with a fabulous dinner after a quick shower. A unique sorel soup, fresh flounder under a chanterelle wine sauce, potatoes and squash from the garden, an onion soufflé, and home made cider. A beautiful, handcrafted room with all modern amenities made for a great sleep and both were up to give me a breakfast that would have fed a family of 4. Omelette, fresh breads, cold cuts, home made lamb cutlets, fruit, cheeses, on and in. Oh, yeah- dessert the night before was a creamy parfait with fresh berries and toffee, and the breakfast porridge had fresh honey.|Uku is a wealth of information about all things Estonia, and great fun to talk to. Get a great sleep and dinner, and head out well rested the next day. |I tried to convince Uku (and ever innkeeper in Estonia!) to market themselves for a longer season, and Laugu would be an ideal place to come and relax in the winter. They accept reservations for the off season if made in advance....

Uku and Annika run a wonderful Estonian hotel. We stayed only 1 night unfortunately since the dinner and breakfast of traditional fish, veggies, desserts, homemade pancakes, fresh herring, homemade jams and porridge were the best we've had while cycling through Estonia. They went out of their way to accommodate gluten and lactose dietary issues. ||If you stay here, contact them in advance to arrange a smoke sauna - traditional Estonian sauna in a small smokehouse which needs 6-9 hours to heat. Uku gave us a tour and we regretted not booking in advance thinking it was a normal sauna. The 2 hectare grounds are super quiet and relaxing. ||We stayed above the dining room in room 4 which is newly built by Uku himself and slept very comfortably. ||Hidden gem in Estonia and my husband and I wished we could have stayed an extra night. The place has playgrounds for kids and kitchenette suites as well as regular rooms. ||Seriously stinking cute with amazingly hosts! Internet could be stronger is the...

Wonderful relaxing farm to chill in after a long day's cycling. Uku, Aneka and Ingi are the perfect hosts. Complete home from home. We had a lovely room in the main house - very comfortable, nice shower etc.|Dinner was made from home grown fruit and vegetables and and locally caught fish. Well cooked and very tasty. Breakfast was excellent - a buffet that four star hotels would be proud of!|Had a lovely and interesting chat with Inga who told us a lot about the singing and dancing festivals.||The farm is a beautiful place to stay in what is a lovely island. Could have stayed for plenty more days.||I really recommend it whether you are cycling or driving.||Can't wait...
