Hello everybody!
I would like to share my impressions about the trip to the Czech Republic, to the Moravian "Karlovy Vary", to the resort town of Luhacovice (population 6000 people).
We chose the resort for a long time, but we stopped there, because according to the indications for treatment, it approached the best (the main direction of treatment is the musculoskeletal system, respiratory system and vascular diseases).
We chose the Miramare 3* hotel. It consists of 3 buildings, competently interconnected by transitions. Buildings are 4-, 5-storey with elevators.
Dining rooms are located on the 1st and 2nd floors. The diet can be chosen in consultation with the doctor.
We went with my husband, age - 54 and 60 years. In this sanatorium, people mostly of retirement age have a rest.
We settled in a 3 * hotel, as there are better conditions. But I want to note that 3 * at a very high level. Double room, 30 sq. m. , sofa area, plumbing and furniture are new, renovated, clean, comfortable. Cleaned every day, there were towels and bathrobes in which you can go to the procedures and to the pool.
They were very satisfied with the treatment. Husband was chosen: 1 week - complex 18+, i. e. 18 procedures per week.
Immediately, I note that the hotel's website is very clear, reliable and convenient. All procedures are described, there are prices. Contacts too.
You can easily contact the hotel manager and ask questions. We personally contacted the manager Ivana, she speaks good Russian. A very nice and sweet woman.
All bookings were made online.
Let's get back to treatment. The next week my husband had a "senior-plus".
She also took "senior-plus" and "a week of bliss for women" for herself.
We got to the place by train. From Belorussky railway station. Moscow-Prague.
We drove to Olomouc, about 30 hours, in a 1st class compartment (190 euros per person, one way). 1st class - 2 people in a compartment, and so three. We were satisfied with the train. Minus - they stood for a long time in Poland and the Czech Republic (but these stops were provided for by the schedule, so)). The ticket was purchased 60 days in advance.
The transfer was booked at the hotel. 56 euro round trip.
The car was a Mercedes. Great transfer, nice and helpful driver.
We did the visa and insurance ourselves at the Visa Center. I will note with a special point that all documents from the hotel must be FAXED! Necessarily! Otherwise, the visa may be denied.
Europe struck with its cleanliness, hospitality and good attitude towards Russians.
The spa town of Luhacovice is very quiet and cozy. Beautiful promenade through the forest and along the river. And how the birds sang there! Polyphony 24 hours a day! The beauty!
5 springs with mineral water.
Bottom line: it’s easy to organize a trip yourself, saving on the face. Everything is reliable and tested on itself.
Good luck and have a good rest!

In mid-December, I was with my husband at the spa resort of Luhacovice. Absolutely fun place! Interesting architecture: almost all the houses in the town are built in the 'folk modern' style - a kind of picturesque combination of the Norman style and something else! ))) Age-old forests are all around. I saw almost all of the conifers known to me there.

I saw almost all of the conifers known to me there. The air is just crystal clear!
We stayed at the Miramare 4 **** hotel. Only 5+ for everything!
Nearby are four different mineral springs for drinking. The water is very tasty, with natural carbon dioxide.
And one source is located under one of the hotel buildings. This is for natural carbonic baths.
The staff speaks Russian. And who does not speak, he learns to speak! ))
In a word - everything is super!!!
We flew through the DVM tour. Everything seems to be fine, but the cost of the Prague-Lugacovice transfer shocked me. For a distance a little more than 300 km on the autobahn, we were ripped off (I just can’t find another word) 350 euros!! ! They said that we can order or not order a transfer, but the decision had to be made at the time of payment for the tour. Of course, if we flew to Prague, then I would not need any tour operator. But Luhacovice is still far away, and most importantly, not such a trodden place for our tourists.
We asked if we could order a return transfer from DVM-tour upon arrival at the place. Of course not! After all, DVM-tour managers know very well that no one will order a transfer from them if the cost from the Miramare hotel to Prague is only 155 euros!! ! More than double the price!
I do not mind paying for the services of a tour operator. But when you are provided with deliberately low-quality information, do not talk about the alternative, then it seems that you are just getting into your pocket!
If we compare the numbers, then 11 days of staying at one of the best spa resorts in the Czech Republic and Europe costs 1220 euros for two, and a round-trip transfer costs 700 euros (like a Moscow-Prague-Moscow flight). This is despite the fact that the Czech side sets quite reasonable prices, you will think whether it is worth resorting to the services of such a tour operator! Personally, I will never again.
I just asked the tour operator today why it is so expensive and why this price does not match the one posted on their website. I was told that the prices on the site are not up-to-date. Probably for people like me!
