We've never been fans of dry, advertising copy that lists a series of benefits and elements of a beautiful rural location in the hopes of attracting visitors.
You can probably see this in the stories we share with you, our followers.
The reason is that we believe that every place bears the personal imprint of those who bring it to life. And often, the back story fascinates us more even if the location is charming.
And on Localm you'll find first and foremost, hosting as it should be, you'll find soul-building hosts, homes, friendships, wonderful experiences. Hosts who refurbish old houses, brighten up places or even save a forest from being destroyed by people's enthusiasm and appetite for fun, sometimes invasive to the nature that welcomes them and delights them with its landscapes.
Ina and Cristian, after 14 years, have managed to take a piece of their forest off the beaten track. Today, there, among the trees, is the somewhat mysterious but warm and welcoming Luxury Lake House, a building as discreetly insinuated in the middle of the forest as it is welcoming and comfortable.
And while we said we often prefer the back story to the string of features of an accommodation, Luxury Lake House is an absolutely delightful location that takes you back to a landscape in a movie and is worth describing even though words might be poor.
Set extremely discreetly in the forest on the shores of Lake Paltinu, in the village of Teศila - Doftana Valley, it offers guests exceptional accommodation. A wooden bridge with warmly lit lamps, followed by a cobbled alleyway, also lit, leads to the lake house.
The house is decorated with unique design elements, and the fully glazed surfaces create an indoor-outdoor feeling of perfect communication between guests and nature. The furniture pieces are extremely comfortable, refined and avant-garde. In the bedroom, the warm, brown colours, the candlesticks and the velvety ottoman at the end of the bed plus the heavy, opaque curtains give the room a perfect elegance, where you feel you can rest properly in comfort and peace.
In the mornings, a lady comes in with breakfast ready to spoil the villa's guests. She also serves lunch and dinner, which can be ordered to be served at any desired time.
The decorations are Ina's ideas that have come to life here in the lakeside house and that today delight guests.
How much does it delight them? The fact that the hosts have to book their own holiday home so they can come here from time to time might say enough.
The house has two generous stepped Scandinavian-style terraces (no railings), with outdoor furniture and fireplace, for cool but cozy days here at Luxury Lake House. Also on the terrace is a hot tub with a spa tub, candles and aromatic oils prepared to make the tourist feel like they're at a unique spa, worthy of Bali or some other exotic location.
A very appealing detail is the seemingly boundless infinity pool, which can be found open until late autumn when the weather permits.
I wouldn't say it's the centrepiece for a very simple reason...there's also the whirlpool bath, where you can relax in the forest's rustle and then, the secret garden, built by the hosts, but with the appearance of an old, deserted garden, where you can relax with a coffee in the quiet of the forest among flowers and ruins that give the place a special charm.
For walks on the lake, the hosts provide a kayak and for winter there's sledging if you're lucky with snow. The nearby hillside can be transformed into a great water slide.
There are so many details within the woodland setting - hidden gazebos with benches and fire pits or fireplaces, fire fountains and flowers that you can hardly decide whether or not you should leave the property to explore or just stay here.
The forest is pristine and can change its carpet unhindered now to that of autumn's silvery leaves.
It's quiet and nature's swirl at Luxury Lake House. And plenty of care for the comfort of guests.
