(江苏省天一中学2021届高三下学期第二次模拟测试)Across Europe, many castles have been changed into hotels. Check out five of the best and most beautiful places to stay.
Hotel Schloss Thannegg
Hotel Schloss Thannegg lies in the middle of the Austrian Alps, a fairytale sight in the snow and the perfect winter break getaway. The ceilings date back to 1150, and the hotel has its own free bus that will take you away on a skiing adventure in winter.
Swinton Estate
The English may not be hugely romantic. But their country castles certainly are. Swinton Estate is the home of the CunliffeLister family, and has been turned into a 30bedroom hotel. It comes complete with small towers, long passages, grand staircases, and wide balconies.
Hotel de la Cite
There are few better places to base yourself when you explore the city of Carcassonne than Hotel de la Cite. It’s the only hotel that sets inside the walls of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony as the sun sets over France, taking in the impressive views.
Castel Porrona
Deep in the rolling Tuscan hills of Italy—in a delightful village dating back to the 11th century and surrounded by vineyards(葡萄园), sunflower fields and olive groves. Each of its 25 rooms offers wonderful views of the village, the castle grounds and the whole landscape.
Pousada de Óbidos
There are only nine rooms — so plan your booking in advance. Within the city walls of Óbidos lies the Pousada de Óbidos, which has been turned into one of the country’s finest hotels, and one of the first to become a Pousada, a traditional or historical Portuguese hotel. The hotel is charming and intimate(温馨的), particularly popular in the summer months.
