U Lawendowej Wiedźmy Istebna

We will host you in one of the 5 rooms of the "Wiedźmówka" house of the "U Lawendowej Wiedźmy" agritourism farm. In our extensive area, among meadows and farms, there are two more buildings (the Black Cat villa and the Wizard's cottage), where guests can also stay. However, we care about peace and relaxation in the spirit of slowness, there is plenty of space and no one gets in each other's way (see our regulations at the bottom of the page). In the common space of "Wiedźmówka", the living room, you can sit by the fireplace for long conversations. Outside, you can relax on deckchairs, in the sauna, in the hot tub or by the evening bonfire.

We invite you for home-made dinners, prepared on a wood-fired kitchen. We cook simply, based on regional cuisine and home-made products, but taking into account the principles of rational and healthy nutrition. On request, we will prepare vegetarian dishes for you, but remember to discuss your expectations and habits with us in advance (may be in the kitchen after your arrival). We call our canteen Grandma's Kitchen and it is a place where you can dine as much as you want, even after finishing your meal. The kitchen is located in the basement of the "Wizard's Cottage", one of the three houses of our agritourism farm. Breakfast in the form of a Swedish buffet (always replaced with pancakes or pancakes with fruit and whipped cream): 8.00–10.00. Soup (so that no one goes hungry, especially children): 12.00 Second course with dessert: 16.00 (to be agreed with the staff) Children up to 3 years of age they eat with us free of charge.

We are for people looking for a base for exploring the Silesian Beskids and those who are looking for a friendly agri-business with several attractions on site.
