Welcome to Karlamuiza, a wonderful natural and cultural-historical place in the picturesque ancient Amata Valley and in the Gaujas National Park. Since the 18th century, the owners of the manor have turned this site into a beautiful and tasteful ensemble of buildings and skillfully integrated it into the natural landscape, which has always attracted visitors and nature lovers from near and far.
Hotel & Local Cuisine
Today, hotel Karlamuiza occupies the old manor's servants’ quarters. Externally, the old building has undergone a few changes, retaining the original elegance and style. The hotel features 15 spacious suites with separate bedrooms and kitchens, equipped with modern appliances. We provide the highest level of service to our guests, making Karlamuiza one of the best accommodations to stay while visiting the areas of Cesis and Sigulda or Gaujas National Park.
The integral part of the service and hospitality is our kitchen – the country manor cuisine. Here, guests can enjoy lovely meals made, mostly, with local and seasonal ingredients. Besides the spacious dining room, during the summer season, visitors have access to the outside terrace and our ancient apple orchard, as well as Cherry Garden House and picnic areas at the manor's park.
