The picturesque plains of Sūduva offer a corner for lovers of romance, palaces and sophisticated cuisine. This is Zyplių Manor, surrounded by a spectacular park and vast forests. The history of the manor is rich in noble names. It goes back to Napoleon Bonaparte himself, who gave this piece of land to Duke Poniatowski. Later, the estate was the home of a succession of noblemen, most notably Count Potocki: it is thanks to him that we now have a 21 hectare park and an avenue of balsam poplars. The current composition of the estate ensemble is also his work. Then came the Soviet era, when it was decided to turn the manor into a hospital, then - in a collective farm office, then it became the headquarters of the district executive committee...

It was only in 2012 that the manor, which had been already forgotten and badly devastated, was finally restored by the local municipality. As if all those years had not existed, the manor is alive again as it was centuries ago. You will be invited to pick a period's hat, to explore both the Manor as well as the avenues and vineyards, to "hunt" some pheasant and to have a taste of restored noble cuisine at the "Kuchmistrai". After the day's activities, honoured guests will be welcome to enjoy an elegant overnight stay in a hotel in the Manor's outbuilding.

Zypliai manor hotel is located in the office - a small separate building of the ensemble. We can accommodate 24 guests: we have twelve double rooms. Of them, there are four connecting with another room.

We divided the hotel rooms into three categories: Ladies (double rooms with desk and bathroom); Ladies (double with additional sofa-bed, work space and bathroom); and Gentlemen's (spacious double rooms with living room and work space, with a view of the manor park). Two doubles can be joined together to create a room for four or more, with a sitting area and separate bathrooms.

All rooms have TVs, fast wi-fi, heated floors in the bathrooms. We provide bed linen and cotton towels, hygiene products, bathrobes, slippers. Rooms are cleaned every day. Rooms on the upper floor are air-conditioned.

The hotel rooms are not suitable for recreation with pets.

Pony breakfast in bed or on the terrace of a nearby restaurant? You can choose and let us know in advance*. We will coordinate the time so that breakfast at the manor becomes a real ritual of morning pleasures. But we hope you will come back to us during the day too: we have something to surprise our guests with.

The restaurant "Kuchmistrai" operates in the historic manor kitchen building and continues the culinary traditions of the manor. For lunch or dinner, you can choose courtly dishes from the menu - trout, duck, venison or other delicacies. For wine lovers, we offer to order the educational programs "Mažoji puota" and "Dijiji puota" (prices from 35 to 55 euros, depending on the luxury of the dishes; tastings can be ordered for a minimum of two people). For groups of 10 or more, we offer "Pheasant hunting", "Smeton cuisine tasting".

The restaurant's programs, bespoke lunches and events are also available for groups from the street, but this does not disturb the tranquility of the hotel residents: there is enough space in the large territory of the mansion to preserve the privacy of the guests.

In the rooms you will find mineral water, coffee, tea, sugar, a teapot and cups.

*Bringing breakfast to the room costs extra.
