Loved it! Magical. Would come...

Liked: Kartause Ittingen is a truly special place. The old monastery site has a cluster of beautiful buildings, lovely grounds and is perched high on the valley side such that there are fantastic views all day long. I walked up the steep hillside vineyards one morning and it was magical. The breakfast and evening meals were healthy, with lots of variety and high quality. The room was minimalistic, with clean lines, gorgeous furnishings and beautiful materials (lots of natural wood).Also loved that they had a book on steps to reduce your environmental footprint in each room. Hats off, Kartause Ittingen!
Disliked: It is a little pricey, but is good value for the incredible setting.

Liked: Very friendly and attentive staff, excellent location in the rolling Thurgau hills. The gurgling fountain on the courtyard. Dog-friendly. Most of all, the very tasty breakfast full of local high-quality produce!
Disliked: For my taste, the mattress was a bit too soft.

Liked: The nature around is very nice, a lot of green and beautiful scents. I am sorry we didn't get to explore all the surroundings as we didn't have time. But the garden is a joy to the eye. The food was delicious and many of the ingredients were locally sourced. Very nice surprise this accomodation!
Disliked: Not really that I didn't like, but the specific concept of the design furniture, while interesting and alternative, in my personal view it is not very practical.
