In the hinterland of the Pieniny Mountains, I've created a place that allows you to recharge with positive energy. The overstimulated, the overworked, and those whose shoulders are tense with stress will find their place here. The bubbles of the jacuzzi and sauna sessions tend to effectively relax them. The same goes for the view of the Trzy Korony Mountains, a constant companion here, ensuring deep breathing. Active guests will be delighted by the proximity of mountain trails – the one to Lubań runs right next door; the cycling loop around Lake Czorsztyn; the possibility of a boat cruise or stand-up paddleboarding on Lake Czorsztyn; the forests of Pieniny National Park; and in winter, skiing in Szczawnica or Kluszkowce.

Harmony reigns here, and the distinct influence of nature is palpable. I learned minimalism in Japan. Those skilled in this art know that less is more, and uncluttered spaces are the best place to relax. That's why I filled the interiors of two eco-friendly houses – for four and six – with light, comfortable furniture in bright colors, and a few touches reminiscent of the country of the rising sun. Guests in the smaller house will experience the pleasure of sleeping on tatami mats and futons, while the larger one will have access to a yoga and meditation room. Although Japan surprised me with its contrasts, I drew from it my own delights: a healthy lifestyle, simplicity, and elegance. And I brought them here, to Grywałd.

Time truly slows down here. Come and slow down, too.

I'm waving to you from Grywałd in the Gorce Mountains, in the hinterland of the Pieniny Mountains. From 600 meters above sea level there is a magical view of Trzy Korony, and the trail to Lubań, at the foot of which the plot is located, runs right under your nose. It is close to the Pieniny National Park and Lake Czorsztyńskie.

I built two houses with a shape resembling barns, inspired by Japanese modernity and minimalism. Their interiors are bright, simple and natural. There is a jacuzzi between the houses, and you will also be able to use the benefits of a dry sauna.

Oki, i.e. larger, is an 80-meter house for 4-6 people. I invite you to this house without pets.
Consists of:
– two bedrooms (one with a double bed, the other with two single beds),
– a kitchen connected to the living room, with: a fold-out sofa, two fold-out armchairs that can be put together to create a couch), a fireplace, a large table for 6 people and a corner with an armchair and a table where you can read or work,
– bathrooms with shower,
– saunas,
– terrace with a set of lounge furniture.
In the attic there is a spacious space dedicated to yoga and meditation practices, which I will be happy to make available to you.

Chisai, i.e. smaller, is a 25-meter house dedicated to 2-4 people. You can come here with small dogs.
Consists of:
– living room with kitchenette – there is a fold-out sofa, a coffee table and a round table,
– a mezzanine with stairs leading to it, where there is an open sleeping space – you will sleep on traditional Japanese mats, i.e. tatami and futons,
– bathrooms with shower,
– terrace with a set of lounge furniture.

Eco-friendly materials were used to build the houses, the insulation is made of annual plant fibers, there are also photovoltaic panels, a rainwater tank and a heat pump.

All culinary plans will be realized by cooking in spacious and well-equipped kitchenettes.

The surrounding restaurants are famous for their mutton dishes, but if you are a veggie, you should be delighted with the sheep cheese moskole.

If I had to describe the atmosphere of this place in a few words, I would choose: power, regeneration and rest. What is inside the houses and what is outside is conducive to slowing down, noticing details and just being. The good energy of this place makes you come back as if you were taking part in a regenerative workshop.

I will share with you the good energy of the place, as well as:
– a soothing view of Trzy Korony, which you can stare at for hours, especially in the morning, when there is still a blanket woven of fog in the fields,
– relaxing the senses with jacuzzi bubbles,
– a relaxing sauna.

Residents of a large house, after arrangement, will be able to use the space in the attic, which is dedicated to yoga and meditation practices.

The area is grateful if you feel like doing some exercise or sightseeing.

Working in a small house is free. You can sit down to it in the living room at a round table or on a sofa with a table next to it.

There are work desks in both bedrooms of the large house, but you can also click and make calls from comfortable armchairs or a sofa in the living room. A common table is also suitable for this purpose.
