Rumene Manor, Latvia: Neo-Gothic meets New Luxury
Rūmene Manor, the country estate of Riga's 5* Hotel Bergs, is a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered.
Nestled not far from the capital, Rūmene Manor has a rich history stretching all the way back to 1876, and boasts a Neo-Renaissance style that historians agree is truly something special.
The Manor grounds will take your breath away, as you explore the 7-hectare, beautifully landscaped gardens, and delight in the man-made, heart-shaped island in the middle of the lake. Rūmene offers a range of activities, including swimming, fishing, rowing, biking, hiking, or a relaxing game of croquet or golf.
Wine lovers will be particularly gratified, as the neighbouring town of Sabile is home to the world's northernmost vineyard. Wine tastings in Rūmene Manor's extensive wine cellar can also be arranged.
Guests can relax and enjoy one of the ten spacious, light-filled suites, while appreciating the attention to detail in the rest of the Manor's interior. All of the furnishings and fittings are original, and the overall effect is one of opulence, history and prestige.
The area surrounding Rūmene Manor, sometimes referred to as the Switzerland of Latvia, is also spectacular. Guests will be treated to stunning views of rich meadows, golden fields of grain and mysterious forests. A short two-hour drive away, lie the port cities of Liepaja and Ventspils, where visitors can enjoy the nearby vast white sandy beaches and quaint fishing villages.
