Prince Edward County hotelier Alex Fida’s off-season escape to Europe reminds him to embrace the weird and wonderful in the spaces he creates for his guests
I’ve been fortunate to call Prince Edward County home for nearly 35 years. When my Swiss mom and Austrian dad immigrated to Canada in the late 1980s, they discovered the magic of the County and chose Bloomfield to set up their restaurant and motel, Angeline’s.
Hosting thousands of clients a year with a small team is incredibly rewarding but there is an intensity that challenges even the most seasoned in the hospitality industry. The division of personal and private spaces at the inn and my other property, House of Falconer – an Ontario cottage cum gothic structure in the heart of Picton – are very blurry for me.
Two hours north on the Autobahn is the hamlet of Mecklenburg and Gutshaus Rensow. Owners Kristina and Knut have stripped back centuries of alterations to reveal the original 17th-century manor house. Collections of stones, feathers, leaves and bones are treated with as much care as fine European furniture, linens and objects. It’s a maximalist space that feels rich and considered yet unstuffy, embracing decay, dust and cobwebs that add to its beauty.
