"Lieser Castle presides over a stretch of the lush, winding Moselle river in southwest Germany. Originally a 19th-century Italian Palladian villa, it’s since undergone a series of Art Nouveau renovations, a marriage that yields extraordinarily crafted detail at every corner of the edifice and the grounds. Make no mistake, this is gilded luxury — even the guestrooms go full wedding-cake, with crystalline chandeliers, wainscoting, sumptuous fabrics, and ornate furniture that would feature in museums elsewhere in the world. The hotel is perfectly positioned to explore nearby gems (Trier and Luxembourg are both within an hour’s drive) or the region’s famous white wine vineyards." - Tablet Hotels
