Imagine the very best of both worlds – a tranquil lakeside escape within easy reach of one of the world’s most exciting cities. That’s exactly what you’ll be getting at this bright and stylish home, situated on the shores of lake Strait. Less than an hour’s drive from Berlin, and located within the historic town of Strausberg, this home is an ideal location for a relaxing family getaway. The inside is inspired by the glamour of pre-war Berlin, with plush sofas, cinematic light fixtures, and stylish golden-brown tones. The wooden floors and furnishings also hint at the proximity to nature – the combination of the two themes works surprisingly well here, and we love the abundance of natural light flooding in from the large windows. Enjoy delicious family feasts at the impressive wooden dining table or choose one of the many inviting lounging spots for an evening of movies and conversation. Head to the bedrooms for a good night’s rest, courtesy of the plush and comfy beds – for some well-deserved pampering, why not have a long soak in the luxurious bath. You’ll find plenty of activities to keep you and the entire family busy in the area: firstly, there’s the wellness centre at the neighbouring hotel, which you can use free of charge. Enjoy the Finish sauna, steam room, aromatherapy, relaxation room, a heated indoor pool and a fitness room – all at your disposal. When you’re ready to head out and explore, you’ll find the picturesque lake, perfect for swimming and long walks on its wild shores, as well as a golf course and lots of options for cycling and rowing. Strausberg also offers many interesting historical sights, as well as an array of shops and restaurants.
