We were very happy to have stayed at Villa Carpe Diem, it is a charming and welcoming place, and something very different from the grey looking Communist era hotels situated on the main street in Trencianske Teplice. Be warned that the slope up to the accommodation is very steep, so if you have any mobility/walking issues this is probably not the right place for you to stay. The slope was even quite steep for the car, and manoeuvring into the parking spaces was a little tricky with the slope looming, it would probably not be suitable for a less than confident driver. I certainly would not wish to drive up and down the slope in icy or very wet conditions. Having said that, we were grateful for the free parking, there are maybe 10 or so spaces. Other reviews mentioned that you are away from the town and on the edge of the forest and countryside. I imagined beautiful views, but from our room, the forest was almost right outside the window, so we were looking into darkness and trees, almost a bit spooky in the pitch dark! The location did have positives though, it was completely silent outside the window at night. The walk down the slope to the main street was a short one, we were there in probably just 5 minutes, so do not let the location put you off if you are able to walk ok....We were very happy to have stayed at Villa Carpe Diem, it is a charming and welcoming place, and something very different from the grey looking Communist era hotels situated on the main street in Trencianske Teplice.

The two main plus points for us were the host and the breakfast. The host was a very nice guy, making jokes, but making sure we were welcomed and looked after at the same time. The breakfast was without question one of the nicest I have ever experienced, we had a very large tray of cheeses, hams, salami, salad, breads, etc waiting for us on our table in the breakfast room, everything very fresh and presented beautifully, they clearly take pride in their breakfasts here. On the second morning, eggs were cooked to order. Also coffee, tea, juices, fruit, yoghurts, etc. I would stay here again for the breakfast alone :-)

The guest room was maybe slightly dated, but everything you need is there, and everything was spotlessly clean.

I highly recommend staying here, as long as you can handle walking up and down the slope.More
