Each book in this highly-respected series offers a selection of the finest -- but not necessarily the most expensive -- lodgings, most shown in high-quality color photos. These are the special places you dream of, but seldom find, including small B&Bs, grand chateaux, historic old homes and rustic lodges. Over 250 are profiled in each pocket-size book, with candid evaluations on everything from service and level of privacy to amenities. Colorful descriptions allow you to get a real feel for each place. Practical information (telephone number, address, price scale, pet policies and seasonal opening times) are given in an easy-to-read format.
Need a break? Book a room at the Schiff, a wayside inn along the shores of a lake. History buffs should head for the medieval town of Stein am Rhein and stay at Rheinfaels, an ancient hostelry at the foot of a bridge. Many wintersports hotels are profiled.
