Villa Kamionka

Villa Kamionka is a bit of a mad architect's dream, a bit of what was saved from the brick ruins standing on the plot. In this way, a place was created that pleases the eye, ear and soul. It consists of two buildings: the Big House (7-9 people) and the Little House (4-5 people). The Big House has 130 m², 4 bedrooms with bathrooms (1 duplex with a double bed and a sofa for 1 person, 2 with a double bed, 1 with a single bed), a living room of 80 m² and a large kitchen with an island. The Little House has 40 m², a bedroom with a double bed and a bathroom, a bedroom with 2 single beds and a bathroom and a small living room with a fold-out sofa. Both buildings have heated floors, so it is warm and pleasant in the winter season. The wooded plot has a forest atmosphere, there are terraces, a micro-lake and a 60-meter covered shelter. There is also a fireplace and a place for a bonfire. There are two outdoor summer kitchens and places to sit, lie down and swing. Privacy is ensured by the absence of neighbors. The buildings are close to the local road, and you can hear cars in front of the houses. Behind the houses, from the garden side, you won't hear them anymore. In the forest grove on the plot you will find peace and quiet.

I hope you love cooking, because Villa Kamionka's kitchens are designed to prepare miracles. But that's nothing compared to where you can eat them! The large, 14-person table in the dining room has seen many candlelight feasts and will see many more. On warm days, I suggest using one of two summer kitchens, which have their own unique atmosphere. There are even more possibilities - there is also a large wooden table waiting for you on the terrace, with a grill right next to it. I would like to reassure those who don't cook - there is no problem in finding something tasty nearby. In 15 minutes you will reach Apretura in Żyrardów, where you will be fed not only deliciously, but also in a historic 19th-century factory resource building. For a more traditional dinner, go to the palace dining room at the Radziejowice Palace. After lunch, you can burn calories by walking around the palace park.

A stay at Villa Kamionka is a pleasure in itself, especially when you are in good company. At your disposal is the entire area of an unusual forest plot that charmed me with its topography. The house with a terrace is suspended 12 m above the place that I like to call the "navel of the world". There is a pond waiting below, and next to it there is a wooden platform with pouffes for relaxing. In the evenings you can organize movie screenings at home. There is Hi-Fi equipment with Bluetooth, a DVD player and a projector with HDMI input, and you can lie down comfortably on a huge sofa during the show. When you get tired of lazing around and throwing feasts on the terrace, you can get some exercise. There will be badminton equipment waiting for you, and a ping-pong table on the veranda, where you will probably play many games in the sun. I encourage you to use Nordic walking poles and take walks around the area. I wouldn't call it wild, you will find traces of civilization here, but the house is surrounded by forest areas where you can hide away and experience peace. Diving is my passion and I came across this place when I was going diving. 4 km from here there is Deepspot, the deepest diving pool in Europe (!). It is 45 m deep. This is a unique place on the map of Poland, and Villa Kamionka is an excellent base. Maybe you can gather a team of friendly divers and go here for a weekend? In Mszczonów there is also a water park with thermal waters, Termy Mszczonów, and 7.5 km from here, Suntago with a sauna and many attractions for children. However, in Kamionka you don't have to worry about crowds, it's a very quiet area. You are half an hour away from the Bolimowski Landscape Park. Few people know that in the very center of Poland there is a wild area of the Bolimowska Forest with swampy meadows, beaver habitats, a reserve of the winding Rawka River, which you can go rafting on, and numerous monuments: palaces, manor houses, romantic parks and churches. There are as many as 23 tourist trails running through the park, leading through the "Puszcza Mariańska" and "Siwica" reserves. Along the way you can meet otters, storks, kingfishers and even moose. In 15 minutes you will reach post-industrial Żyrardów, full of monuments from the 19th and early 20th centuries. On site you can admire the impressive former spinning mill from 1833 and the main church of Żyrardów. Our Lady of Consolation with Art Nouveau stained glass windows and an impressive chandelier. Over 3 million bricks were used for its construction!
