From the 1930s, the Smederov farm belonged to the Novák family. The first owner was a renowned physician, František Vladimír Novák, who after the First World War contributed to the research and development of medical radiology and worked at Prague's Bulovka. He and his wife, also a doctor, were looking for rural peace and a break from a demanding mission in Smeder's. The farm was very modern for its time and provided 100 cattle, as well as working and riding horses. The complex also had its own bakery, orchard and vegetable garden.
Dr. Novák died at the age of 46 as a result of many years of work at the Institute of Radiology. His mistress and children managed the difficult war years, mainly due to the self-sufficiency of the Smederov farm. After 1948, however, came nationalization and with it a great decline. The last nail in the coffin was a fire in the 1970s that engulfed the bakery and cowshed. The farm was deserted and instead of a rural paradise, it looked more like a dump.
After 1989, what was left of the farm returned to the hands of Dr. Novák's children and, in time, their grandchildren. And it was they who contributed to what the farm looks like today. Preparations began in 2009 and in 2016 an expensive reconstruction of all buildings that could still be saved took place.
Everyone who tries to save old places with history and devotes their time and money to the reconstruction of ancient memories has our admiration. That is also the farm in Smederov, which is proudly named Novák's Court.
Novákův Dvůr is a large farm where we have our horses. But don't worry, you won't have to sleep in the stables. For you we have a beautifully renovated cottage with 4 rooms and a private apartment. So you can come as a solo traveler or 5 families at once.
APARTMENT for 3 people
On the upper floor of the main building of the farm there is a nice, bright apartment 2 + 1. Prim is played by natural materials, and muted shades of beige and brown. The bedroom overlooks the farmhouse and has a comfortable double bed, which can be supplemented with an extra bed or baby cot. The separate kitchen is small but well equipped. And there is one poem in the dining room! You can stay here if you like complete comfort and above-standard comfort. If you prefer to get married, come to the cottage!
COTTAGE for 15 people
Detached, newly renovated cottage hides 4 separate rooms. You can rent them separately and share with others a spacious kitchen, dining room, bathroom and living room. Or rent the whole cottage (even with an apartment) straight away. It can accommodate up to 15 people, so ideal for 3-4 families.
The cottage also has a terrace, outdoor heated pool, garden for children, barbecue and faucet! In the common room you can relax in front of the TV and use the Playstation 3 with a wide range of games.
APARTMENT
The kitchenette in the apartment is really modest in terms of space. But you make up for it when sitting at a round table in the dining room. If you do not want to cook, we will be happy to arrange breakfast, half board or full board with import from a nearby restaurant.
COTTAGE
A spacious, modern kitchen is shared by the whole cottage. But the kitchen is so long that the whole regiment will fit you there. You may want to edit the improvised continuation of the MasterChef competition.
Sit around the dining table, use the garden seating area, or relax on the spacious terrace with beautiful views. And the offer of importing food from the restaurant also applies to holidaymakers in the cottage.
A barbecue is also available to the settlers of the cottage. And what kind of barbecue would it be without good beer? There is a tapping device with its own cooling in the cottage and 10 ° and 12 ° on the Hostomice pin.
APARTMENT
The apartment is designed more for sleeping or as a background for exploratory expeditions to the beauties of Brd, while the cottage offers a wide range of active and passive relaxation for all ages.
COTTAGE
The cottage’s common room has a flat-screen TV and Playstation 3. The terrace has a hot tub for up to 6 people. From the terrace, a staircase leads directly to the spacious, heated outdoor pool and garden, where you can run, jump, relax, read a book or observe the horizon.
As you are on the farm, you can arrange a tour of the stables and horseback riding. And on the edge of our land there is a fishing ground where you can catch what you throw on the grill in the evening.
BRDY
As Brdy used to be a military training area, it has remained untouched by tourist feet for years. Today they are a protected landscape area, so even today it is necessary to move in them with military caution. They are interwoven with cycle paths, so step on the pedals and let the wild nature of the Brdy hills impress you.
NEPOMUK
You can recognize the statues of St. John of Nepomuk by the five stars that adorn his halo. We can find them all over Europe, but there is only one birthplace - in Nepomuk. In 1734, a Baroque church of the famous architect K. I. Dientzenhofer was built on the site of his birth house. You will also find the Midsummer Museum and the Municipal Museum and Gallery.
North of Nepomuk, don't miss the Zelená hora chateau. In the past, it was inhabited by leading nobles from the Švamberk, Šternberk or Martinice families and preserved the Czech St. Wenceslas Crown. After 1948, a military barracks was established here. Among other things, Švandrlík's novel The Black Barons takes place here.
BURNED RIVER
Spálené Poříčí is a little known town, which excels in great care for its historical monuments. As the name suggests, the city was burned down several times during the Thirty Years' War. Nevertheless, you can see a beautiful Renaissance castle with preserved sgraffito decoration, surrounded by two romantic castle parks. Stroll through the mysterious Jewish Quarter and stroll through the more than 200-year-old Jewish cemetery. A walk to the Hvížďalské waterfalls pours optimism into the veins, and a visit to the Šťastná věž lookout tower, where you can try a climbing wall, will stir up the adrenaline.
Whichever direction you go, you won't be disappointed. There are dozens of castles, ruins, lookout towers and breweries in the area. And you Brdy!
What’s there for children?
If you rent a room in the cottage, or the whole cottage, children can have a great time in the garden. We have a swimming pool, trampoline and sandpit. And when the weather is not good for outdoor stays, you can all get together in the common room and use the board games, TV or Playstation.
When you talk to us, we also plan a meeting with the horses. A ride awaits the more adventurous.
Go to Pilsen and explore the zoo, dinosaur park and Techmania. If children love animals, but not in a cage, make them happy by visiting the Ždírec Zoo. All animals are carved from wood, so you can cuddle with them.
There are many nature trails and beautiful natural swimming pools in the area.
