Delphi Lodge

Frommer's Review

A vast country house dwarfed by the mountains that surround it, Delphi Lodge was built in the early 19th century as a sportsman's hideaway, and it was purchased and restored for the same purpose by the current owners in the 1980s. It forms part of an exquisite landscape of crystal lakes and trickling rivers, hardwood forests, and mountain slopes. The rooms are spacious and a bit masculine, furnished with an informally elegant touch, all with peaceful lake and mountain views. Guests are divided evenly between those here for the fishing and those here for the relaxation. Dinners (€50/$64 per person) here are excellent, with an emphasis on the catch of the day, and eaten together at the elegant, long dining table. The library and lounge are warmed by wood-burning fireplaces, there's an honor bar where you make your own cocktails in the evening, and the staff is warm and friendly. Owner Peter Mantle can supply you with everything you need to fish -- permits, licenses, and equipment rental. Note: Rooms do not have locks, but the staff keeps a close eye on who comes in and out of the building. And all cancellations incur an administration fee of €30/$39.
