Estonia is a tiny, cozy country where there is always something to be inspired by. If in winter tourists from all over Europe flock here to wander around Christmas markets, breathe in caramel of fried almonds and spicy mulled wine, then in summer guests are engaged in rural tourism - they fish with locals, weave baskets and go to the forest for berries, from which they then learn. " roll home preparations for the winter. The end of summer is the time for small but important holidays for Estonians like Miner's Day and the Night of Ancient Lights, as well as the best time for Estonian spas and baths.

Many wellness hotels are located in old manor houses that were built on the territory of present-day Estonia for knights, bishops and other landowners since the time of the Livonian Order. More than a thousand of such historical estates have survived in the country, which are called manors here. Some of the estates have been renovated and turned into spa hotels with vast parklands, lakes and lovely gazebos for privacy.
Fields and farms are located just behind Saka Manor.

Saka Manor (SakMois) - one of the most charming manors in the Ida-Viru County, once belonged to Danish aristocrats. The 17th century neo-Renaissance manor is located on the cliff of the Gulf of Finland near the town of Koitl.
To understand the incredible sensations that you experience while inside an old estate, imagine yourself in Lev Tolstoy's Yasnaya Polyana. The Count received you at his house, placing it at your complete disposal. You sleep on antique furniture, the best chefs cook for you, and after the obligatory horseback riding, you breathe the fresh evening air, swinging on a wooden swing or small talk in a white rotunda strewn with flowers. Another attraction for romantics who value a quiet and unhurried life is the high sea tower, which is also located on the territory of the Saka manor. During the USSR, it was used as a military tower, and now it offers a poetic view of the cold Baltic and the coast overgrown with dense forest.
