This is what will happen when musicians, the founders of the first independent philharmonic in Poland, take action. Charming, panoramic houses inspired by the greatest artists in history. So there is colorful Frida Kahlo, jazz Miles Davis, trendy Valentino and nostalgic Edith Piaf. The characters are completely different, the distribution is the same. To be even closer to the stars, we have added igloo domes to each house, where you can spend the night under the canopy from the milky way, drink your morning coffee with one eye on the pasture full of cows, and the other on the paternal inselbergs. Here you can serve special dinners at sunset, read in silence or count the clouds. After taking a few breaths and chilling out, it's time to explore the area. Castles, caves, rocks, a chapel on the water, walking paths and asphalt bicycle routes. Especially for you, we have created our subjective guide to the Ojców National Park, our favorite place on earth. After returning from a sightseeing trip, it's time for sunbathing in the meadow, integration in the gazebo, amateur ornithology and children's frolics on the musical playground.
We have great plans - musical, artistic, food and ecological, come see what's going on. We invite.
You can sleep under a star ceiling, you can sleep in an artistic bedroom - the choice is yours. On a green meadow, overlooking a pasture full of cows, and further on the paternal rocks and outliers, we have built 4 chalets for relaxation. We are only 30 minutes away by car from the Krakow market, and the reality is completely different. Instead of a flock of pigeons, we have pheasants, singers, swallows, finches, blackbirds, and wagtails. Instead of horse cabins - cows, foxes, deer. We move on foot, by car or by bicycle. If you have bikes, be sure to take them with you. We visit castles, drink coffee with a view of Frida Kahlo or the evening fog on the hills.
In the heart of Ojców National Park, a few minutes by car or a dozen or so by bike from Maczuga Herkulesa, we have 4 independent houses for 4 people, inspired by cinema and stage stars. So there is Frida Kahlo, Edith Piaf, Miles Davis and Valentino. Their interiors reflect the life and art of artists. Frida's house is full of color, Miles's trumpet hangs on the wall, Valentino has red accessories inspired by his signature "Valentino Red", and Edith Piaf's house is full of nostalgia, poetry, lyric and serenity.
They have different characters, but they do not differ in terms of distribution, each has:
- a living room with a sofa bed connected to a kitchenette, dining table,
- a bedroom with a double bed and a wardrobe,
- exit to a large observation deck,
- the terrace leads to an igloo dome *, which can be used as a bedroom under the stars, a relaxation area, a dining room, a reading room.
The houses are completely independent, they stand on one plot, but they are fenced off for privacy.
In our area there is also a music playground, an integrative gazebo, where as part of the Eco Festival we prepare in the summer, concerts, meetings, workshops and tasting local eco specialties are held.
* due to the construction, the use of igloo tents is possible only in positive temperatures. For this reason, in winter, you should take into account the possibility of temporarily excluding the igloo from use.
Each cottage has a well-equipped kitchenette, so you can cook whatever you want. You can serve it at the table in the dining area, on the terrace or in a bubble. You can also throw something on the grill grate in the garden or eat nearby. Jump for a fresh trout in Ojców, eat a cake and drink a coffee in the Niezapominajka bistro in the Prądnik Valley or drive to Jerzmanowice to the Chochołowy Dwór restaurant.
It is not without reason that you can find us in the heart of the Ojców National Park, with a view of the inselbergs. We love this place for its nature, views, animals, unique sunsets. In the morning you can meet face to face with a pheasant, a moment later cows come out onto the meadow in front of the houses. Take binoculars, because you can spot song thrushes, swallows, finches, blackbirds, and wagtails.
Each cottage has a terrace for relaxation, morning coffee and evening winking. Each cottage also has its own igloo dome for sleeping under the stars or for admiring the Milky Way. You can organize a dinner here, take a nap during the day - just what your heart desires.
