Grandma was at the beginning. Not a chicken, not an egg, but a grandmother. Summer holidays full of sun, grandma's caress, bread and butter. Swimming in the dam, running on forest paths and heaps of experiences. So when life put us ahead of the decision to sell the house after our grandmother or to keep and restore it, we clearly chose the latter.
We will not tell you how much work, renunciation and stress the transformation of the old ruin into Cinderella took us. But we're glad we didn't give up. And maybe as a reward were all the treasures that we uncovered during the reconstruction. For example, those beautifully admitted beams with an inscription from 1903 at Marinka or those who passed the fire test at U Milušky. We took what we could and gave it a second breath, we completed the rest with our own hands or with the help and support of our amazing friends. Old forks converted to a hanger, beautiful handwork on metal railings, kitchen units, decorations.
Preserving and reviving the legacy of a beloved grandmother was simply the best thing. Come to us. The beauties of the Slovak Paradise await. And if you want, we will tell you even more, for example about the blast furnace for iron and slag, about wine corks, or about the shop, our local rarity. Or we'll take you on a great hike with a view. What to add - we are already looking forward to you!

SLOW TRAVEL IN SLOVAK PARADISE
You can jump like deer, but ... Slow travel is also about lounging, enjoying quiet moments and relaxation. Maybe the unread book you didn't have time for would call you.
