The family-run Hotel Knorre is situated on the banks of the River Elbe, just 2 kilometres north of Meissen. The rooms are a good size and have good facilities. There is also a restaurant which is open in good weather. Free parking is available in front of the hotel.

We rented an apartment without board, but took advantage of the 3-course dinner (we really enjoyed the real homemade Italian flavours). We got to try their own local wine during dinner, too. As well as the apartments, we also had access to the pool. The apartment had everything we needed and was styled in a Tuscan way. The windows had mosquito nets. It's got a really peaceful vibe, and it's got that classic Tuscan feel. You'll need a car.

We rented a room with its own bathroom. The room is really stylish and has everything you need. There's a big terrace in front of the room that's shared. There's also a restaurant where you can have breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is a sweet Italian spread with coffee and juice. For dinner, you can choose from a menu, and the swordfish was really good. The owner was really friendly and helpful. The bus stop is a 10-15 minute walk away, so it might be worth thinking about getting a scooter or renting a car.
