The Ayurveda treatments were excellent. At least I can say of my therapist that he was extremely professional. The hotel complex was also very nice, the rooms tasteful. The organization of the treatment appointments could have been better, my husband and I often had totally staggered times, so that there was little time for joint activities on the days. We would also have liked more from the kitchen. The dishes on offer were always very tasty, but I would have liked more variety. Unfortunately, the abundance of local fruit and vegetables was not nearly reflected. We found the warm and familiar atmosphere very pleasant.

I enjoyed my stay at River View Villas very much. Also the daily treatments. The location of the hotel offers many opportunities for excursions. The whole hotel team as well as the Ayurveda therapists are very nice, helpful and competent.

If it's not the location that's important, but the treatments, the River View Villas are a good choice.

We enjoyed our stay and our Ayurveda retreat in the "River View Villas" very much. Especially positive are the relaxing treatments (daily at least 2.5 hours!) by the warm and professional therapist team! We felt very comfortable in the idyllic complex on the river with two beautiful pools and clean, spacious rooms. The problem of nocturnal noise (more on this see hotel in general) was finally solved after some discussions with the very nice, German-speaking owner.
