Saw here as part of an APT tour. A beautiful property. They also put on a falconry display. Quite amazing. Wandering through there were so many things to see. Eating at their restaurant was also excellent.

We really loved this place-- there are only 4 apartments, each sumptuously equipped in old world elegance. We had a huge bedroom with a canopied bed, nice living room with a fireplace, and a large, well equipped bathroom. There is a very nice cafe and a good restaurant-- all elegant and very inviting. The service, which is very polite with some English spoken was uneven-- we had to ask for coffee and tea with our breakfast several times until we got it, and the coffee maker in our room was broken and required, again, repeated requests for a replacement. There is a small park attached to the chateau, full of benches, and they provide blankets and pillows to make your stay in the park more enjoyable. We took a guided tour of the fascinating chateau (part of which is occupied by the current owner), which was built in 1725, and our guide, Barbara, was super nice and knowledgeable. She even poured us champaign to sip during the tour. We got a picnic basket for lunch, which was very nicely arranged. It is rather expensive (they charged us for tap water and for cutlery!), but we still enjoyed it enormously and shall probably return for festive occasions.…

Our visit was organised by APT. On arrival we were met with a glass of champagne and greeting by a member of the family, welcoming us to their home after which a guided tour ensued. The property is a present day marvel of ancient aristocratic living and has been lovingly restored by the family over the years. The tour was followed by a display of Falconry after which we enjoyed a lunch of Wild Boar in one of the halls. This was an enjoyable and relaxing day. AS we didn't stay we are unable to rate its accommodation.

We visited Chateau Jemniste with APT Tours and we were greeted at the door by a member of the family with glasses of champagne before we were taken on a tour of the section of the chateau that is not occupied by the family. The rooms are furnished with the original, restored items which include dazzling chandeliers and items used in the 18th Century. While were were inside the Chateau it began to sleet outside and the gardens were covered in white. At the end of our tour were came out into sunshine - the weather is so changeable! Fortunate, as our next delight was the falconry display, where we sat under a specially erected marquee to watch 3 falcons, with their handlers accompanied by horse and dog give an amazing display of spectacular free-flying by these majestic birds of prey. This was followed by lunch in the hall adjoining the grounds we were served roast wild boar or wild boar stew. Following lunch we were free to wander the grounds which were magnificently manicured hedges and topiary and also made a visit to the zoo which is part of the estate. There were even some wallabies in residence there. I noticed that the Chateau offers accommodation in 3 apartment style residences inside the walls of the Chateau and if I ever returned to Prague would love to stay there. It is a very pleasant at to spend a day.…

Located about an hour out of Prague, this Chateau is set in expansive gardens and offers an impressive falconry exhibition that is well worth seeing. The Chateau is fairly interesting as a tour and lunch is available in either the flash dining room or the cafe attached to the shop. The gardens are stunning, but we did not stay here

We feel ourselves like the owners of the beautiful chateau. In the evening when we came back it was already closed for tourists, and we opened the gate by our own key and enter into the castle! In the morning we left until the first tourists came! Perfect interior, nice bathroom, fireplace! Very beautiful gardens! Peace and tranquility! Friendly staff! Excellent wi-fi! Coffee and tea facilities in the room! The breakfast is not included in the room rate, it would be good to have some small breakfast included in the room rate as the one for extra money is HUGE:))) But overally it is the perfect place and we definitely like to return!!!!

Positive aspects: + The café is in a side aisle of the magnificent castle of Jemniste + The café-hall is in the typical style of the castle, nice and cozy atmosphere + The employees are friendly and helpful, they speak also English + The desserts look very well. These are mainly desserts in glasses or in cups. + Prices are low Negative aspects: - The desserts might look very well, but that’s it! They are tasteless. For instance how is it possible to have a tiramisu without any taste of coffee? The taste remains anyway the most important. - Juices are not fresh Everything looks very well, but at the end it is disappointing since the desserts are too tasteless. The taste remains anyway the most important according to me. Like this it is just to show off, much pretention but the content is not of high quality enough. If the desserts would be very good, then this café would be a real quiet pearl!…

as I live in Prague and Chateau Jemniste is not far, each time I want to indulge in a nice scenery and sweets...thats the place :)!During season, in the courtyard you'll hear the Vivaldi's "seasons" and while that might seem bit cliche for some, I can assure you in Jemniste is the perfect choice. Chateau offers a very nice coffee place with lots of elaborated sweets/cakes as well as a good restaurant.One option I find particularly interesting is that you can order a piknik basket with good food as well as a piknik blanket and some champagne (price is decent nothing too exaggerated) which is a great idea for couples. Chateau's park is accessible for a small fee and is arranged in the English style and often you can meat peacocks on the alleys. Small caution, before going there check on their portal if by any chance they dont have any event arranged (weddings etc) as this will mean you'll have just partial access. Enjoy :)…

It was a privilege to stay in such magical place. Castle looked like from a fairy tale from the first sight. And I felt like beeing in a fairy tale as I was in castle garden all alone. That happens during the week out of the main season, when there are not much visitors. I stayed in the biggest suite, apartmant Rainer. The dining room and bedroom are really spacious and carefully decorated with old furniture and lots of paintings. Probably with the guidelines of Mrs. Stemberg who is a perfectionist. You can see that in her boutique with the dress creations and in nearbay cafe Custoza where they sell so many tempting and also delicious sweets. Most of them also by her recipies, and when she has got time, she made them by herself! Diner was another nice experience in a restaurant, which is also decorated in chateau stile, probably with some real antics. Wandering around small garden in front of the castle is nice, but for a real peace, you should go to the main park behind the building. Guests get the keys of the garden doors. Large park is partly like a botanical garden with informative descriptions (in Czech) and there is also a small zoo with lamas, kangaroos, parrots, ducks, coaties... Something to entertain children even the big ones. I also enjoyed guided tour of the castle. The best is a private one, which could be acompained by a bottle of champaine... The rooms are fully furnitured with antique pieces, a lot of them are original. There are also numerous of paintings of the family and other important persons. And the castle chapel with a few houndred years old organ (functional) is also worth a visit. And last, all that was quite affordable!…
