Words from happy guests

it's a fairytale castle and you're transported to another enchanted world. But we were even more fascinated by the wonderful natural lake and the huge park with a stream, forest, and natural meadows, all fenced in. The hosts are very nice and we were welcome with several dogs and enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing break from everyday life

Sibylle from Germany

Stay for 1 adult

Our weekend at Landsitz Diek was simply fantastic! The secluded, relaxed atmosphere, the extensive park and the idyllic bathing lake made for pure relaxation. The great sauna was an absolute highlight! The house had enough space for our group of 12 adults, 2 babies and 3 dogs. We are already planning to come back next year and can highly recommend Landsitz Diek!

Maren from Germany

Stay for 12 adults, 2 babies and 2 pets

Beautiful old house with a unique and huge park where you can go for walks or drift away in a boat on the lake.

Oliver from Germany

Stay for 10 adults

Really nice and lived up to all expectations.

Trine from Denmark

Stay for 2 adults and 1 pet

The location is great, very calm beautiful village and the apartment is spacious enough to host us as a couple plus we even had a dog with us. Also the kitchen and bathroom are very modern and you find everything you need. There are a few improvement potentials, such as the kitchen and bath soap were nearly empty when we arrived, the outdoor sitting area was very dirty so that we needed to find a broom first to clean it a bit. Also there were no seating cushions or similar for outside, so that this area was not as used by us as we would have liked to. Apart from that we had a large group of people as our neighbours in the bigger apartment next door, which was quite noisy. Overall nice experience though and Christoph was very responsive.

Paulina from Germany
