Winter respectable resort turns in the summer into a pleasant relaxing sanatorium,where you want to escape from the hustle and bustle at least for the weekend. Most of the guests return, and this says a lot about the level of service and the quality of the rest.
Air Matters
A few decades ago, on this place, 300 meters from the railway station Novoabzakovo, there was a departmental rest house with massage rooms and a salt room. The historical scenery changed, an investor came to the crumbling base, who by 2005 made a candy from the old building.
He invested in the main value of the location – and no, it’s not just proximity to the mountain slopes. Air, peace and quiet: in the hotel “Manor Spruce” go to breathe needles, look at the Bashkir nature and relax in a comfortable atmosphere. After the senseless running of big cities, the feeling, according to reviews, is unusual. And it’s magical.
Sergey S., 42 years old, Yekaterinburg: My wife and I came for the first time three years ago, friends advised. My wife is immediately on skis, she is an enthusiastic skier, and I decided to sleep first. On the first day I slept until three, what a breakfast! And only then did I understand why. Air! You just feel how the brains are cleaned, even the thoughts are fresh. We go to Spruce three or four times a year, we have already tried all the rooms. I, as a connoisseur, recommend luxury, cottage and bungalow to me did not go. And be sure to try tea with honey and dumplings. It’s something.
