First Impressions: Arrival, Accessibility & the Elevator of Doom
Pulling up, "Little America" isn't quite what you expect. More like…a stylish, modern interpretation. The architecture is sleek, with plenty of glass and clean lines against the backdrop of the Brandenburg countryside. Immediately, though, I'm checking for accessibility. This is huge for me, as I travel with someone who needs it. Accessibility: They get points for having an elevator. A bit slow? Maybe. A little…intense? Possibly, with a slight tendency to make you feel like you're trapped in a slow-motion thriller. Okay, I am now jumping from my seat for my first observation.
Accessibility: They get points for including facilities for disabled guests. They also have exterior corridors, which is great so you don't waste any time from the start of the day towards your room.

Navigating the grounds? Pretty good. Ramps are available, and I didn't encounter any major barriers. This is a huge plus for me.
Internet & Techy Stuff: Wi-Fi Woes (and Wins!)
Okay, here's the tech breakdown. They boast Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! – and yes, that's capitalized because it's important! Also, the Internet access – wireless was pretty damn reliable. Like, I could actually upload those Insta stories about my experience. In addition, Internet [LAN] is also available in the rooms, so you can get down to business. However, I still wonder about the Wi-fi quality in public areas.
(Keywords: Free Wi-Fi, Internet Access, Wi-Fi in Public Areas)
Rooms & Amenities: A Luxurious Embrace (Mostly)
My room? Nice. Really, really nice. Think minimalist chic meets comfortable coziness. Air conditioning was a lifesaver (especially after that sauna), the blackout curtains were perfect for sleeping in (bliss!), and the extra long bed was a dream. A fridge? Check. Coffee/tea maker? Absolutely. The complimentary bottled water was a thoughtful touch, too. However, the minibar was a bit overpriced.
(Keywords: Non-smoking rooms, Air conditioning, Bathrobes, Coffee/tea maker, Free bottled water, Mini bar, Refrigerator).
Inside the room, there are Alarm clock, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Carpeting, Closet, Desk, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mirror, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.
The daily housekeeping was efficient and friendly, and I appreciated the fresh towels. The bathroom was well-appointed, but I'm kind of old-fashioned and wish they had a bathtub. I am excited to share with you that there is a smoke detector.
Now, the one thing that could have been improved: A bit more attention to detail in the cleaning department. Nothing major, but a stray hair or two here and there. Perfection is unattainable.
Wellness & Relaxation: Spa, Sauna & Seriously Good Views!
Okay, now for the good stuff: the SPA! I was there to relax. The Spa area is stunning. The Pool with view is breathtaking, especially at sunset. The sauna was pure bliss (and I’m now a confirmed sauna convert). Yes, there's a steamroom, too. There's a Gym/fitness center that is available with a lot of equipment!
(Keywords: Spa, Sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Pool with view, Fitness center)
I had a massage, and it was divine. The therapists were skilled, and the atmosphere was incredibly relaxing. The body scrub was also a treat. And the whole vibe just screamed “escape the everyday.”
Here's the honest truth: I spent way too much time in the swimming pool. Just floating, staring at the sky, and letting all my worries melt away. It was pure, unadulterated relaxation. I think some people are going to find it hard to leave this spot.
Dining & Drinking: Food, glorious food! (and a few quirky observations)
The food scene is a strong point. There are multiple restaurants, offering a variety of cuisines. The international cuisine in restaurant was fantastic, and the Western cuisine in restaurant was on point. The buffet in restaurant provided a varied selection, and the Asian cuisine in restaurant was a delight. I'd suggest checking out the Coffee/tea in restaurant and Happy hour.
(Keywords: Restaurants, Bar, Breakfast [buffet], International cuisine, Western cuisine, Asian cuisine, Coffee shop, Poolside bar)
Breakfast [buffet]: It was great, with fresh bread, fruit, and a good selection of hot dishes. They also had Asian breakfast, so you can also opt for that.
Happy hour. The Poolside bar was the perfect spot to grab a cocktail and soak up the sun after a day spent in the spa. The Snack bar was a solid choice for a quick bite. Room service 24-hour service is also available. They’ve got Vegetarian restaurant.
I have to also add, the bottle of water was always a nice touch, but I did feel like they should put a salad in the restaurant.
Cleanliness & Safety: Sanitized, but Not Sterile!
I felt safe despite being paranoid about COVID. They've definitely stepped up their game. Anti-viral cleaning products, hand sanitizer stations everywhere, and daily disinfection in common areas. I noticed the staff were really good at Staff trained in safety protocol and that it was easy to use cashless payment service. Having a doctor/nurse on call is a reassuring thing.

For the Kids: Babysitting? Yes! (and all the things)
This place is designed to be family/child friendly. They offer babysitting service and Kids facilities.

Escape to Paradise: Belvilla's Casa Pachino, Pachino, Italy Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Little America Modern Retreat in Storkow, Germany. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions, questionable decisions, and maybe, just maybe, some actual relaxation. This isn’t your glossy Instagram highlight reel, folks. This is the unfiltered, slightly-chaotic truth.
Day 1: Arrival and the Quest for the Perfect Coffee (Which, Spoiler Alert, Did NOT Happen)
14:00: Landed at Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). Smooth…ish. Found the transfer to Storkow pretty straightforward, thanks to some surprisingly helpful signage. Already feeling a sliver of "I can conquer anything!" energy. Famous last words, I'm sure.
16:00: Arrived at Little America. The marketing photos are… flattering. The reality? Still gorgeous, but a little less pristine than anticipated. Little chipped paint here, a slightly wonky door there. But hey, character, right? Besides, the lake view? Breathtaking. Instantly, the city-stress melted away, like a bad relationship on a summer evening.
17:00: The hunt for coffee begins. Because travel, for me, is fueled by caffeine and anxiety. The retreat's "gourmet coffee" was a tragic disappointment. Weak, watery, and tasted vaguely of sadness. I'm already starting to mourn my espresso machine at home. This is going to be a long trip.
18:00: Unpacked (sloppily). Found a rogue sock under a bed. Wondered whose it was. Briefly considered a deep dive into the life and times of the previous guests, but decided against it (for now).
19:00: Dinner. Restaurant at the resort. The food was actually decent. I'm not saying it was Michelin-star worthy, but it filled the hole in my stomach and gave me a small dose of hope for the culinary future of this trip. The wine, however? Utterly unremarkable. Sigh.
20:00: Stroll along the lake. The sunset. Oh. My. God. Seriously, the sky was ablaze with pinks and oranges. Felt a surge of genuine joy, a rare thing indeed! Took approximately 50 photos, all of which will probably look the same.
21:00: Stumbled back to the cabin, feeling all zen and stuff. Watched a movie on the tiny TV (which, naturally, was a confusing foreign dub), promptly fell asleep halfway through.
Day 2: The Sauna Saga and the Great Paddleboard Debacle
08:00: Woke up feeling surprisingly good. Ate a breakfast of stale bread and some kind of processed cheese. Again, not great, but the lake view keeps my spirits up.
09:00: The Sauna Experience. Okay, listen up. I love saunas. I thrive in them. I picture myself as a Finnish goddess, sweating out all my demons. This sauna, however, was a trial. It was clean, but the "aromatherapy" was essentially smelling like a hospital. I sat there, stifling silent sobs as the heat slowly peeled away my resolve. Felt a bit claustrophobic, ultimately only lasted a few minutes. Failed at my first attempt.
10:00: Decided to punish myself further and try paddleboarding. Mistake. HUGE mistake. I have never, and I mean NEVER, felt so uncoordinated in my life. I wobbled. I teetered. I fell. Repeatedly. Landed in that lake looking like a drowned rat. The water was probably 5 degrees. I blame the wind, the board, and my lack of upper-body strength.
11:00: Retired to the cabin, shivering and defeated. Wrapped myself in a blanket and ate a bag of chips. Comfort food is vital.
12:00: Lunch (another questionable sandwich). Spent the rest of the afternoon attempting to dry my clothes (unsuccessfully).
16:00: Started reading a book. Managed to turn a grand total of three pages before my brain decided to short-circuit.
19:00: Dinner at the restaurant… again. This time, I asked for something spicy. It was… okay. The staff, I'm beginning to notice, seems a little… removed. Like they're used to dealing with incredibly stressed-out city folks who need a break. I guess I fit the stereotype.
20:00: Took a relaxing bath with the bath bombs I had brought in the hope of recovering from my previous sauna experience.
21:00: Back to the movie. This time, I made it to the credits. Victory!
Day 3: The Unexpected Joy of… A Hike? And the Persistent Coffee Problem.
08:00: Still no decent coffee. My soul is slowly withering. Considering smuggling in a French press.
09:00: Decided, against all my better judgment, to go on a hike. The retreat has some trails around the lake. The forest? Surprisingly beautiful. The air was crisp, the trees were majestic, and the birds… well, they chirped. I felt myself actually breathing deep breaths. This whole "nature thing" might actually be working.
11:00: Lunch. The restaurant's menu repeats itself. I'm starting to dream about food I can't have.
13:00: I found the perfect coffee shop. This little cafe in a nearby town was a freaking godsend. The coffee was strong, the pastry was heavenly, and I actually felt like a human being again. Took far too many breaks in the cafe and almost didn't make it back in time for dinner.
19:00: Dinner at the… you get it. Ordered something different this time. The waitress gave me a look that said, "Good luck with that."
20:00: Stargazing. The sky here is incredible. I lay on my back, feeling insignificant and incredibly grateful.
21:00: More movie watching. Started feeling homesick, and that's when I realized that this trip wasn't about perfection but the experience. Realizing this has turned around my whole experience.
Day 4: Departure and the Lingering Taste of…Well, Everything.
08:00: Last attempt at the retreat coffee. Still depressing.
09:00: Packing. I will honestly miss this place.
10:00: Final walk by the lake. Took one last deep breath, trying to bottle up the beauty for later.
12:00: Bye Little America!
Final Thoughts:
Would I recommend Little America? Yes, with caveats. Come for the scenery, the quiet, and the chance to disconnect. Don't come expecting gourmet food, or perfect service. Bring your own coffee, your sense of humor, and an open mind. Things may not be perfect, but the imperfections? They're part of the charm. This was a flawed, messy, and ultimately unforgettable adventure. And you know what? I wouldn't trade it for anything.
