Property description
Located on the southwestern slope of the Gurghiu Mountains - Sovatei Mountain, in the picturesque natural setting of the Praid Depression, at an altitude of 475-530 m, you will find the beautiful Sovata Balneoclimatic Resort. The Szeifert Hotel is situated in the heart of this resort, near the Black Lake - the oldest saltwater lake in Sovata, formed in 1710 above the stream that used to shelter a gold mine. The water was used for baths before the appearance of Ursu Lake, and later, the extracted mud was used for therapeutic purposes. Although the lake has an area of 8900 m² and a depth of 8 meters, with a salt concentration of up to 193 g/l, it is currently not accessible to the general public.
The Szeifert Hotel, just 257 meters away from the famous Ursu Lake, is perfectly situated to offer guests a quiet, healthy, and noise-free atmosphere in a charming natural environment. With its unique design, the hotel recalls past times, but modern amenities meet all current needs, including facilities such as telephone, safe, minibar, free internet, baby facilities, and many more. With a total of 52 accommodation places, including double rooms, apartments, and rooms with mezzanines for large families or smaller groups, the Szeifert Hotel is the ideal choice for those who want to relax and unwind.
The terrace of the Szeifert Hotel is the perfect place to spend leisure time, and a giant TV ensures a great viewing experience of favorite sports events. The hotel also has parking for a bus and 15 cars, plus an 8-seat minibus for organized excursions and a tour guide.
Sovata is renowned as part of the salt region and is the location of the famous Ursu Lake, a unique heliothermal lake in Europe, considered one of the most modern recreational areas. The town has become popular thanks to the healing effects of Ursu Lake, formed in 1875 and known for its beneficial properties. Ursu Lake is surrounded by walking and cycling paths, restaurants, kiosks, and other entertainment venues. With an area of 4 hectares and a maximum depth of 17 meters, this lake has water rich in salts and is an ideal place for relaxation and recreation.
Ursu Lake opens to the public from the end of June or the beginning of July, and the water temperature, which can reach 50°C at the beginning, decreases during the season. Operating from 10:00 to 18:00, the beach offers a unique experience, but swimming is forbidden between 13:00 and 15:00 to maintain water quality.
To reach the Szeifert Hotel, follow Trandafirilor Street to the roundabout near Ursu Lake and turn back towards the town. Just 200 meters from the roundabout, you will find the hotel.
The hotel's chefs await you with traditional Transylvanian dishes and other culinary delights, all prepared from fresh and high-quality ingredients. The comfortable rooms are equipped with internet, TV, and telephone, and the bathrooms are fully equipped. The hotel organizes tours in the salt region and in the Szeklerland to provide you with an authentic experience. For more information, contact the hotel reception.
