- Meta Description: My honest, unfiltered review of "Escape to Paradise" in Tabarz, Iran! Explore the garden, spa, Wi-Fi, cleanliness, accessibility, and everything in between. Is it paradise? Find out!
First Impressions (and the Wi-Fi Saga):
Okay, so the "stunning garden"? Absolutely. Like, drop-dead gorgeous. Lush, fragrant, with more flowers than I could name. Picture a Persian miniature painting come to life. Seriously, it gave me the feels! The apartment itself? Modern, sleek, all that jazz. But here's where the chaos starts.
The Wi-Fi, bless its little digital heart, was… temperamental. They promised "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" and technically, they delivered. Ish. More like, "Wi-Fi that occasionally deigns to grace your presence, leaving you screaming into your laptop about that spreadsheet." I swear, I spent half my trip wandering around the public areas, desperately trying to leech a signal. My work suffered, my social life… well, what social life?
(Rambling Thoughts about the Internet, because let's be honest, it's important!)
I mean, how can you escape to paradise when you can't check your emails? The internet situation just kept me awake at night. I really tried to use the on-site internet access, which was supposed to be LAN. I tried the "Internet services" - but the results were just painful. Okay, deep breaths, focusing on the garden… Okay, it’s fine! I gave up and looked straight into the "Wi-Fi for special events" area. It was a bit of a miss.
Accessibility & Safety (Important Stuff, Though!)
Now, I'm happy to report that they seemed to be trying! The "Facilities for disabled guests" are there. The Elevator, a godsend after a particularly brutal hike, and the "Elevator". But it wasn't a slam dunk. The "CCTV in common areas" and "CCTV outside property" definitely put my mind at ease. They had "Front desk [24-hour]" but honestly, they weren't always the most helpful.
As for safety… they were obsessed. “First aid kit,” “Fire extinguisher,” “Smoke alarms,” “24-hour security.” I’m not complaining, but it felt like they were preparing for an apocalypse. Which, given my Wi-Fi troubles, sometimes felt justified. I felt safe in the "Security [24-hour]" and "Safety/security feature", thank god! And, of course, there were "Smoke detectors" and "Fire extinguisher"!
Cleanliness &… Germophobia?
Look, I’m a germaphobe. I admit it. So, the "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Hand sanitizer" everywhere, "Daily disinfection in common areas," "Rooms sanitized between stays," “Professional-grade sanitizing services”… I was in heaven! (In a very anxious way, but still.) The "Hygiene certification" gave me a tiny bit of peace. I still felt like I want to opt-out of room sanitization.
They even had "Individually-wrapped food options" at the breakfast buffet. Breakfast, oh breakfast.
Food, Glorious Food (and the Quirks!)
The "Breakfast [buffet]" was… a mixed bag, really. There was "Asian breakfast" and "Western breakfast". The "Buffet in restaurant" included a wide spread. The "Coffee/tea in restaurant" was fine, nothing to write home about. The "Coffee shop" was decent, if a bit overpriced. I still think I missed a "bottle of water". I ordered some "bottle of water" and I got it, but it felt a bit… formal.
I tried the "A la carte in restaurant" option one night. The food was good, but the waiter, bless him, kept calling me "Madame" and staring at me with… intense… politeness? It made me squirm. I was offered a "Salad in restaurant" and some "Soup in restaurant". I went for the soup. It was nice.
Things to Do (Beyond the Wi-Fi Struggle)
Okay, so, the "Spa"? Excellent! Treatments were heavenly. I spent a glorious afternoon in the "Sauna," "Steamroom", and "Spa/sauna" situation, and the "Pool with view" was stunning. The "Massage" was divine. I definitely needed a "Foot bath" after all the walking around trying to get a signal.
The Gym/Fitness (I tried, I really did…)
The "Fitness center" was there, with the "Gym/fitness" equipment, but let’s just say my idea of fitness involves mostly walking from the garden to the "Pool with view". I made it to the gym once, took one look at the intimidating machines, and went back to staring at the flowers.
Services and Conveniences – The Good, The Bad, and the "Do I Need This?"
"Daily housekeeping"? Amazing! "Air conditioning in public area"? Blessedly necessary. "Concierge"? Hit or miss. They were good at getting me a taxi ("Taxi service") but a bit lost when I wanted to know the best place to get a decent croissant. I swear I had to use the "Bicycle parking". I thought I needed to go somewhere!
The Room: My "Paradise" (with Blackout Curtains)
So, my apartment. “Escape to Paradise”? Well… The "Air conditioning" was a lifesaver. The "Blackout curtains"? Essential for dealing with the early morning sun. The "Coffee/tea maker"? Crucial in the Wi-Fi-induced stress. The "Refrigerator"? Perfect for chilled water. A "Coffee/tea maker" was there. The "Private bathroom"? A must. I loved the "Slippers". I should use the "Alarm clock" if I ever want to go somewhere. The "Mirror" was useful and the "Mirror". There was no room for "Couple's room". I guess, I was alone.
For the Kids (and the Big Kids at Heart)
I'm not traveling with kids, but the "Family/child friendly" vibe seemed genuine. They had "Babysitting service" and "Kids meal."
Getting Around (And Escaping the Wi-Fi!)
The "Car park [free of charge]" was a huge bonus. You could use "Car park [on-site]". They included a "Car power charging station". I was able to organize my travel by the "Airport transfer" and then a "Taxi service".
The Bottom Line (and My Verdict!)
Would I go back? Maybe. If they promise to fix the Wi-Fi, and teach the waiter to stop staring. The "stunning garden" is a definite draw, the spa is a treat, and the cleanliness standards are top-notch. It's got potential, this "Escape to Paradise." But right now, it's more like "Escape to Paradise… with intermittent internet and a healthy dose of quirky charm."
Unbelievable Erezee Escape: Your Dream Holiday Home Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. This is… well, this is my attempt at a chilled-out week in the Thuringian Wald, crashing in a modern apartment in Tabarz. Lord knows what will actually happen. Let's go!
Operation: Thuringian Tranquility (Maybe?) - A Travel Itinerary (Probably more of a Suggestion)
Day 1: Arrival & Apartment Intrigue (and maybe a mini-meltdown)
- Morning (ish): Arrive at Frankfurt Airport (FRA). Okay, first hurdle: surviving the German airport pretzel mafia. Always a gamble. Assuming I haven't been mugged for my Weisswurst before passport control, I'll grab my rental car – hopefully, it's not a bright pink Smart Car. (Please, God, no.)
- Midday: The drive to Tabarz (about 2.5 hours). Time for some serious Spotify action. Expect a playlist that swings wildly between German Schlager and angry feminist punk, depending on my mood and the quality of the autobahn. Pray the GPS doesn't send me down a goat trail. I'm a city slicker, people!
- Afternoon: Arrive in Tabarz! Find the apartment. Key pickup. Unpack. Evaluate the "modern" aspect. And here's where things get interesting. Am I right? The pictures looked amazing, all sleek lines and minimalist perfection. But what if it's freezing, and the "garden" is just a patch of untended weeds and a grumpy gnome? (I have a thing about gnomes.) Prepare for interior design critique – the most important activity of the day.
- Evening: Grocery store reconnaissance. Gotta find the local bakery for those glorious German breads. Panic-buying of sausages, cheese, and beer. (Essentials, obviously.) Dinner – probably a questionable attempt at cooking. Might order out pizza and the place doesn't deliver.
Day 2: Hiking Hubris & Sausage Supremacy
- Morning: Attempt a hike. Promised myself a "moderate" trail. Famous last words. Watch me struggle up a hill like a beached whale. I will probably take a lot of pictures of flowers and trees and the gorgeous view and post them on Instagram - #ThuringiaAdventures
- Midday: Sausage tasting bonanza! Find the BEST Bratwurst stall in town. This is a non-negotiable. Seriously, I'm willing to stand in line for hours. I'm looking for perfect char, juicy interior, and a dollop of THAT mustard. I'm feeling the hunger and the taste of the best sausage ever.
- Afternoon: More hiking, but less this time . I'm aiming for a leisurely stroll, maybe along the "Kurpark" (spa park). Think of it as a cool down after the sausage explosion. Observe German efficiency in action (probably people doing "Kur" things – whatever that is).
- Evening: Local pub crawl! Explore some classic beer gardens. Converse, I'm aiming to actually try speaking German. Probably butcher the language terribly but hey, that's half the fun, right? (And the other half is the beer!) Maybe stumble back to the apartment, singing.
Day 3: Culture Shock & Castle Dreams
- Morning: Visit Wartburg Castle in Eisenach. This is the history lesson. I hope. I'm hoping to not feel bored by the history of the castles.
- Midday: Lunch in Eisenach. Hopefully, find a place serving traditional Thuringian dumplings. It's gonna be delicious, I can taste it already!
- Afternoon: More castle exploration! Okay. This is a little ambitious. I'm a little bit of a museum hater, so hopefully, I won't be too bored. Enjoy the views. Snap some pictures. Maybe buy a souvenir – probably a ridiculously over-priced replica of something.
- Evening: Attempt to make an apartment-cooked meal. Maybe even attempt a traditional German dish. Expect a culinary disaster. Eat my feelings in gummy bears.
Day 4: Spa-Day (Maybe) & the Great Beer Debate
- Morning: Actually go to a spa. Maybe. The apartment is nice. It's tempting to just stay there. I don't know, I'm feeling really lazy already.
- Midday: After the spa, a lunch. Eat some traditional German food.
- Afternoon: The Great Beer Debate. Visit a local brewery. Sample every kind of beer. Engage in a passionate argument with a local about the merits of Pilsner vs. Weissbier. (Prepare to lose.)
- Evening: Take notes and take pictures and reflect on the best beer. Stumble out of the brewery and try to make it back to the apartment. Watch a movie with a cozy drink.
Day 5: Outdoor Adventures & the Mystery of the Missing Socks
- Morning: Decide to not go to any more museums. Go to a local attraction like a lake or a national park. Soak in the sun. Maybe rent a bike. Try not to fall off.
- Midday: Picnic! Pack a delicious lunch and enjoy it out in nature. Maybe trip and spill the beer.
- Afternoon: Explore the town of Tabarz. See the local shops and maybe get some ice cream.
- Evening: Realize I've lost a sock. Search the apartment. Tear everything apart. Blame the washing machine. Eat more gummy bears.
Day 6: Reflections & a Farewell Feast
- Morning: Sit in the garden (if the gnome hasn't chased me away). Coffee. Reflect on the week. Was it relaxing? Did I manage to avoid complete chaos? Did I eat enough sausage?
- Midday: Farewell lunch at a local restaurant. Try to order everything correctly (or at least, try).
- Afternoon: Last-minute souvenir shopping. Buy something completely unnecessary but charming. Pack everything up. Fight with the suitcase.
- Evening: One last beer, quietly, contemplating my inevitable return to reality. Maybe cry a little.
Day 7: Departure (And the Pretzel Mafia's Revenge?)
- Morning: Early start. Drive back to Frankfurt. Return the rental car. Pray for no unexpected fees.
- Midday: Airport chaos. Navigate security. Attempt to buy a last-minute souvenir pretzel (and survive).
- Afternoon: Flight home. Dream of sausages and beer gardens. Vow to return to Thuringia (maybe, if the apartment doesn't haunt my dreams).
Important Notes & Disclaimers:
- This itinerary is a suggestion, not a law. Expect deviations. Expect meltdowns. Embrace the chaos.
- My German is terrible. Please be patient with me. Especially in pizza places.
- Gummy bears are a key food group.
- The weather is a mystery. Pack for all seasons.
- I am not responsible for any lost socks, spontaneous purchases, or excessive Bratwurst consumption.
So there you have it. Wish me luck, because I'm probably going to need it!

Escape to Paradise: Modern Tabarz Apartment - Your Questions (and My Truth Bombs) Answered!
1. Okay, first things first... is the garden *really* as stunning as the pictures? Because, let's be honest, Instagram lies.
Alright, let's get real. The pictures? Yeah, they're good. But the *garden*? Dude, it's a whole *experience*. I went, prepared to be mildly impressed. You know, the usual: manicured lawns, maybe a sad little rose bush. Nope. This thing is a *beast* of beauty. Like, you walk out and your jaw just... drops. There's this one spot, a little hidden nook with a bench swing, and I swear, I spent like, a whole afternoon just *existing* there. Reading. Drinking tea. Not answering emails. Pure, unadulterated bliss. It’s not perfectly pristine, mind you – there are *some* leaves and the occasional rogue dandelion (which, honestly, I kind of liked, gave it character!). So yes, the answer is yes. The garden delivers the hype. My advice? Spend at least one full day just... being in it. Seriously. You won't regret it. I almost *didn't* leave. My partner had to drag me back inside!
2. What's the apartment actually *like*? Is it modern, like, awkwardly minimalist or actually comfortable? Asking for a friend... (who is me.)
Okay, this is where I get *really* opinionated. I *hate* those sterile, "modern" apartments that feel like you're living in a catalog. This place? Thank goodness, it's not like that. It *is* modern, sleek, and all that jazz, but it’s also... *livable*. There are actual *comfy* sofas (important!), a well-equipped kitchen (I cooked *every* night, so trust me on this), and enough space to, you know, *breathe*. The décor is tasteful. Think: clean lines, warm colors, and real plants. I especially loved the big windows. I’m a sucker for natural light. Just be warned: if you hate sunlight, this place is not for you. You'll get blasted with it first thing. But seriously, it's a place you can *relax* in. I mean, I’d happily live there full-time. (If only my bank account agreed!)
3. Okay, what about the location? Tabarz sounds… obscure. Is it easy to get around? Do you feel safe?
Tabarz *is* a little off the beaten path, I'll admit. Which, honestly, is part of its charm. It's quiet, peaceful, and a world away from the hustle and bustle. Getting around? Depends on what you want to do. You definitely need a car to explore properly. Public transport…well, let’s just say, it's not exactly frequent. But the apartment has parking, so that's a huge plus. The drive into the town itself is beautiful. And I felt completely safe the entire time. Walking around at night? No problem. It's the kind of place where you leave your door unlocked (though, *I* didn't, because, you know, old habits die hard). It's definitely a good choice if you're looking to escape the city chaos and just *breathe* some fresh air. Remember to pack snacks for the car rides, though! Trust me.
4. Is the kitchen *actually* equipped for cooking, or is it just a microwave and a sad little coffee maker? I’m a foodie.
Ah, finally, a question I'm *qualified* to answer! The kitchen? It's a *cook's* dream. Okay, maybe not a Michelin-star chef's dream, but for a normal human who likes to make a decent meal? Totally perfect. I mean, there's a proper oven, a stovetop, a fridge that isn't the size of a shoebox, *and* a dishwasher (hallelujah!). They have all the basics: pots, pans, utensils, the works. I made a *massive* pasta carbonara one night. It was epic. And clean-up was a breeze. The only thing missing... maybe a decent spice rack? But that's just me being picky. Seriously, if you're a foodie and you like to cook, you'll love this kitchen.
5. What are the downsides? Be honest!
Okay, alright, here's the dirt:
- The Wi-Fi wasn't *lightning* fast. (But come on, you're on vacation!)
- The pillows. Okay, here is where I am brutal. They were *meh*. I am a pillow snob. Bring your own! If I can remember, I definitely will. Maybe the owner will see this and upgrade. I can dream.
- The check-in process was a bit… convoluted. (But nothing that caused a major meltdown.)
6. What should I pack if I go? Besides the obvious, obviously.
Pack:
- Good walking shoes: You'll be doing a lot of it (unless you plan on just sitting staring at the garden, which I fully support).
- Bug spray: You'll be in the garden... remember?
- A book (or three): Because the garden is calling.
- That fancy face cream you never use at home: Treat yourself!
- Your *own* amazing pillow!: This is paramount.
- And, most importantly, a sense of adventure. Seriously, embrace the quiet, embrace the beauty. And don't worry too much about the outside world. You're in Paradise (aka, the apartment in Tabarz).
7. Would you go back? And would you *recommend* it?
Would I go back? Oh, hell yes. I am already scheming to go back. I'm thinking Spring. Maybe Autumn. Actually, I'd go back any time of year. And would I recommend it? Wholeheartedly, yes. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway, a chance to recharge, and some serious garden therapy, book it. Just... please, for the love of all that is holy, bring your own pillow. You can thank me later. You'll see!
