Haapsalu is a seaside resort town located on the west coast of Estonia. Haapsalu has been well known for centuries for its warm seawater, curative mud and peaceful atmosphere. Salt mud spas frequented by the Russian Romanov family still operate. Narrow streets with early 20th century wooden houses repeatedly lead to the sea. Haapsalu has been called the "Venice of the Baltic." The name "Haapsalu" is from Estonian haab 'aspen' and salu 'grove.

Our trip to Europe was fantastic. My husband and I wanted to plan a 2 week vacation. This was our first trip to Europe, so I had no idea how to go about planning it, let alone booking overseas hotels without wondering what kind of place I was going to end up in. I found your site on Google and decided to check it out. I was not disappointed! It was quite easy to use. The four rooms we booked for Paris, Milan, Venice and Florence were clean, well maintained and in good locations as promised.The fifth was a B&B in Rome, also in a great location and within easy walking distance of several of the sites we wanted to see. Your site really made the booking process so easy! Being able to see photos of the properties, pinpoint their locations and read reviews from other travelers gave me a sense of security that I was booking a legitimate and well tended hotel. When I emailed your site with questions, they were answered promptly by a live human. I would definitely use the site again and recommend it to anyone looking to get started on planning their own trip.

It was my first time traveling to Europe and I didn't even know where to begin. I don't think I could have planned my trip without RoutePerfect. I used RoutePerfect to book all my accommodations and I am glad I did. It was so easy and I was able to customize my trip to fit my budget. My hotel in Karlovy Vary was the nicest I've ever stayed at.
