Savelberg

Near The Hague and only 20 kilometres from Rotterdam- the Savelberg Hotel is a picture of elegance set in magnificent grounds blessed with quite a few hundred-year old trees. The wind blowing in from the coast carries the scent of the sea air to remind you that the beaches are very close by- and sometimes it even brings with it a few grains of sand stolen from the bunkers of the neighbouring golf course. The delicate little glass bowls served at the table of the Savelberg offer a fusion of flavours and are often savoured in a sort of meditative hush of pleasure- as are thea langoustines decked in zest of vegetables and a melt-in-the-mouth chocolate cake with a raspberry hidden deep in its soft centre. The rooms are like the dishes- colourful and eloquent and decorated in shades of lavender or peach that plunge your big four-poster bed into a rainbow world. The property is closed for business during the year over the following dates December 27 2008-January 9 2009. CLUB 5C- Hotel welcomes Relais and Chateaux Club 5C members with a VIP Welcome and a Discovery Privilege.
