No matter how trivial it may sound, there is truly an idyllic atmosphere here, just like on the pages of Pan Tadeusz. There is a manor house, there are carpets of meadows, there is a rooster crowing in the morning. A bit of Soplicowo, a bit of monastic whispers, because we are adjacent to the Benedictine Abbey, and former state farm landscapes. From the windows you can see Lake Żarnowieckie, count all the storks in the pasture, and almost see the sea through binoculars. This is not your standard country glamour. It's a real village.
And in this village there is a distillery from 1900, which produced industrial spirit until 2007 - not very romantic percentages. After closing, the distillery stood there and alcohol was leaking from the walls, until we came and decided to turn the pension into an industrial holiday resort. Here you can sip frizzante while sitting on the distillery window sill, cook long pasta for long conversations, go to a wild beach with a towel on your shoulder in flip-flops, or kayak to the sea. To live dolce far niente in the old fabric of the farm.
In the distillery from 1900, which has produced a lot over the years, and now, after well-deserved retirement, it has turned into an industrial holiday resort. With a view of the meadows, Lake Żarnowieckie, former state farm buildings.
You enter the Distillery through the main door, and after entering, you will see a 5-meter-high vestibule. On the left you will see a door with a sign: Apparatus. Behind them there are the guts of the old distillery, but we cannot invite you there for now. We are working on this space, so everything in due time. On the right, wooden, quite steep stairs lead to the first floor. There is an apartment where you can make yourself comfortable.
There are 3 bedrooms with double beds, a living room with a kitchen and windows overlooking the fields, barns and Lake Żarnowieckie, and a bathroom with a panoramic bathtub.
In the living room, all the furniture faces the window, this is our nature program broadcasting 24 hours a day. There are also binoculars waiting for you on site, so you can take a closer look at cows in the pasture, the lake, and birds in the trees. When we rest at the Distillery, we sit on the windowsill and spend hours staring at the idyll outside the window.
You can also use the gardens in front of the Manor, where there is a small playground and a place for a barbecue and bonfire.
Not what, how! The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen. There are many good, large shops around Żarnowiec. You can buy fresh eggs from chickens and pheasants from local products.
Contrary to appearances, boredom feeds creativity, so let boredom settle down, and then kick your soul. Maybe, inspired by bucolic views, you will paint a picture, write a poem, a verse of a song like Osiecka, will you wake up at dawn to yoga or Tai Chi or will you feel like kayaking?
You can rent kayaks at Lake Żarnowieckie (about 2.5 km from the Distillery) and go on the Piaśnica River straight to the Baltic Sea. This is a great section for a three-hour rafting trip. Crystal clear water, open terrain with trees or forests on the horizon, meditation while rowing. Get something to drink, a hat, and sunscreen.
The same set (cream + drinks + hat) will also be useful on the beach by the lake.
With a towel on your shoulder, you can splash in flip-flops to Lake Żarnowieckie (2 km), to the wild beach.
If the sound of the waves must be an inseparable element of your rest, just get in the car and after 12 minutes you will land on the beach in Dębki. However, we are fans of other coastal destinations, a bit further, but more calm and beautiful. We recommend you one of the most beautiful Polish beaches - in Białogóra or Karwienskie Błota.
The distillery is located on the territory of a historic farm. The old buildings and extensive gardens are an attraction in themselves. There is a badminton net and a ping-pong table in front of the manor house adjacent to the distillery. In the evenings, you can light a fire or barbecue. You can also go to the barn and take cow therapy, drawing peace from the animals.
There are bike routes for those who suffer from Restless Spirit Syndrome. Take your two wheels and follow the route along the seaside towns. You can go on a bicycle trip from Żarnowiec to Władysławowo and back. On the way, visit Chłapowo, Jastrzębia Góra and Karwia on the coast. The route requires physical condition, as the distance is 56.4 km. Shorter stretches are also welcome, for example to the beach and return or to the store for ice cream.
What’s there for children?
We have a wonderful rope park for children - hidden among the hornbeam alley in front of the Manor House adjacent to the Distillery. For the youngest there is a sandbox and swings.
Like a vacation, there's also water, and we have plenty of it in the area. We are just a stone's throw from Lake Żarnowieckie with the beach in Lubków (4 minutes by car). And you can reach the seaside, the beach in Dębki, in 12 minutes.
