Carl Schmidt Guesthouse

Kesk tn 4, Põltsamaa vald, Jõgeva maakond, 48105

Carl Schmidt’s House is located in Central Estonia, right in the heart of Põltsamaa, where everything you need is within reach. This means you don’t have to worry too much about packing your travel bag.
In this old house, not everything is like in a modern glass hotel. It is a historic hotel where you can smell the wood, the walls breathe, grandma’s lace doilies adorn the tables, ventilation systems don’t hum, and sometimes the walls talk instead… It has been a post office, a secondary school, a hospital, and in the 1960s, it was also a hotel.
On the first floor, a cozy café-restaurant, a reception desk, and a hair salon await you. On the second and third floors, there are rooms in three price categories.
Additionally, the complex includes the Hullava Naise Pub next to the guesthouse. The unique name and the surrounding imagination are topics of conversation among locals. The pub’s menu offers homemade dishes, including daily specials and soups that satisfy even the biggest appetite.
Visit Põltsamaa, the pearl of Livonia — a town of history, roses, and wine!
