It all started with my mother. It was in her head that the idea of a place where you could focus on yourself in the midst of beautiful nature was conceived. Yes, on yourself: taking care of your health, development and relaxation. Not to mention your belly, which is filled every day with delicious meals prepared from fresh ingredients bought in the neighbourhood. To take care of one's soul and body, to devote oneself completely to being here and now.
The idea was put into practice. We waved goodbye to our city, and they never saw us there again. Our family became the host of the paradisiacal guesthouse from Mum's dream, Pensjonat Bliżej Nieba (Closer to Heaven Guesthouse). We built it on one of the Beskid hills, which offers an impressive view of the mountains, forests, and houses piled on the neighbouring slopes. You can take your backpack and go on a trail, have a relaxing bath or pick a book from our library at random and absorb it all. And in the evening? Stare at the starry sky and the bonfire. All weary peace-seekers are welcome. You will rest here.
In a building located on a plot of over 3 hectares on one of the green hills of the Beskid Mountains or in a cottage exclusively for 2-4 people. The mountains are visible from many places of the facility, so you will be able to enjoy it both with your morning coffee and during exercises in a specially designed room. We have 12 double, triple and quadruple rooms with bathrooms and an exclusive cottage for 2-4 people. The double and triple rooms have single beds. The quadruple room has a large double bed and a fold-out green sofa (you can see it in the picture). It is possible to connect single beds with a special connector and - tadam! - we have a double bed.
Next to the rooms there is a common area equipped with a fridge, kettle and coffee and tea.
There are two bedrooms in the exclusive cottage. One with a double bed on the mezzanine, the other with a sofa on the ground floor. The cottage is equipped with a kitchenette with a fridge, freezer, induction cooker and kettle.
In addition, at your disposal is also:
- library with a large collection of books,
- exercise room / workshop room with a beautiful view - if we do not organize exclusive workshops,
- restaurant,
- SPA relaxation zone consisting of: two saunas (dry and infra red), a tub with water to cool down after saunas and an outdoor jacuzzi - the SPA zone is payable additionally,
- place for a bonfire,
- two roofed gazebos in an orchard among apple trees.
With us, everyone eats a lot and tasty. There are legends about our breakfast buffet. We serve mozzarella, which the oldest Italian would not be ashamed of, and fresh highlander oscypek cheese. We have smoked trout and herring with onion, cold cuts and sausage from a friendly butcher's shop. The milk is given to us by Władzia's cow from behind, and Grażynek's eggs from the courtyard of the postman Bolek. Apples, pears and strawberries are provided by Mr. Onion;) Chef Mikołaj will prepare you croutons with avocado butter, pancakes and delicious scrambled eggs. We will tell you the secret recipe for our pickles in sweet and spicy pickle, strawberry jam, plum jam, clover tea and potato bread - we do everything ourselves on the spot!
Gold flows in the taps, i.e. spring water, which not only tastes like anywhere else, but also heals, thanks to the content of micro and macro elements.
What after breakfast? Two-course dinner and a delicious homemade strawberry cake. How do we cook? As nature intended - that is, what we can find in the forest and in our neighbors' yards at a given time of the year. In summer, dumplings with strawberries, and in autumn, pasta with boletes. The products we use in our kitchen are organic, unprocessed - which guarantees a healthy and unusually delicious meal. We advise you to postpone slimming - you can leave a bit heavier (and happier) from us.
We offer the possibility of ordering our home-made preserves! It is a perfect gift for a loved one or a souvenir for you from your stay with us. We have oscypek cheese, braids, mozzarella cheese, honey, tinctures, preserves, pies, homemade cakes, pickled cucumbers and bread. It is enough to report it to us, among others. 3 days before departure.
We offer a choice of traditional or vegetarian diets. Please register your diet in advance.
The most important thing in our guesthouse is to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, great food and rest. We have mountains, meadows and forests around, and our 3 ha plot will give you space to rest on a blanket. Here's what you can do with us:
- go to the mountains: next to the guesthouse there is a black trail leading to Śnieżnica, and from there you can go to Ćwilin or go down to Kasina and walk through the valley. You can also go down to the central part of Wola Skrzydlańska, where three routes intersect, and from there you can start a longer or shorter hike. There are several possibilities, so there is a route of the right length for everyone.
- rent bikes from a friendly rental company in Kasina and go to the blue distance! We will bring the bikes to the guesthouse. We offer classic bikes, electric bikes, accessories for children - car seats and trailers.
- watching sunsets and sunrises: our location is a bit like a fairy tale, and thus we have a wonderful panorama of the mountains to watch in various scenes.
- go to our orchard and pick apples and wild blackberries.
- go for a walk: even a short stroll through the surrounding hills allows you to enjoy the beauty of the area. And sell out all our dinners :)
- go skiing or snowboarding - only 10 minutes from our guesthouse by car is the Kasina SKI ski slope,
- take advantage of the SPA: we can pamper and we encourage you to give your body a little luxury. We offer two saunas, a hot tub to cool down after the saunas, and an outdoor jacuzzi. We also offer massages, SPA treatments, relaxing baths and therapeutic physiotherapy. (Treatments are additionally payable).
- to read a book: we have a large-sized bookcase and perfect conditions for bookworms, i.e. sofas, armchairs and blissful silence.
- practicing yoga and / or meditation: our exercise room is just asking you to use it. Here you can exercise, stretch or immerse yourself in meditation (as long as there are no workshops)
- watching the stars: this is a good place because there is little light pollution. A naked eye is enough to enjoy the light of hundreds of stars.
- organize a picnic on the grass in the summer or an open-air summer cinema - we guarantee an unforgettable experience!
Near the guesthouse there are:
- Kasina SKI ski lift: mountain bike rides are organized there in summer,
