Unfortunately you won’t be able to actually bathe in wine, but it is still a unique experience on offer for post pandemic fun.

Prioritising comfort, the giant barrels have transformed into cosy bedrooms complete with double beds, ensuite bathrooms and for some, a small living room with a TV. Guests to the hotel are, of course, welcomed with a bottle of wine.

A small number of the ‘Wellness’ barrel rooms also boast a sauna and an indoor whirlpool tub for those in need of some self-care.

Prices start from £162 a night based on two people sharing the wine barrel experience.

Thought Brits will have to wait a while before they can hop on a plane. At the time of writing England, Scotland and Wales all have national lockdowns, which include a ban on international travel.
