Calcographus noster Cracoviensis, or royal official printer. This title was granted to Hieronim Wietor in 1527 by Sigismund the Old. This distinguished Renaissance typographer was born in Lubomierz, whose roofs you can see from the windows of our old house in neighboring Mielęcice. The printer imported the latest fonts from Italy - cut antiqua and Renaissance italic. He introduced decorative italic to the press, modeled on Italian chancellery. And he was the first to use fraktura for typesetting in Polish. And we, in awe of the esteemed Lubomierz resident, in whose office the first work on the history of Poland was printed, called our house Wietorówka, and the apartment and four rooms in it: Antiqua, Fraktura, Rotunda, Italika and Tekstura.
Their interiors are clean in form and have few distractions. They were created to bring adults peace of mind, space to focus and hear their own thoughts. On the ground floor there is an apartment for dog owners, on the first floor - four rooms and a common area with an old stove painted white (they can be rented separately or in a package). There is also a common barn for chilling or working, hammocks among the trees, a slightly wild meadow and a table in an old orchard. We have a lot of donated tables here. At each one you can gather, celebrate, have workshops and enjoy the closeness of nature. Among the greenery and elderberry bushes we are fulfilling one of our dreams, because we decided that it is not worth waiting for retirement. You do not wait either, drop by Wietorówka.
In an old settlement, we have created an intimate guesthouse for adults. The historic building stands on a hill, surrounded by a lush garden and an old orchard. It offers guests views of charming Lubomierz. We have prepared one apartment with a separate entrance on the ground floor and four rooms and a common area on the first floor.
ITALIKA is located on the ground floor and has a stone terrace and a fenced garden – all dogs are welcome here. The apartment consists of a living room with a seating area connected to the kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, and a separate bedroom with a double bed. The terrace offers a beautiful view of the Benedictine monastery.
FRAKTURA is located on the first floor. It consists of: a hallway with a wardrobe, a bedroom with a double bed and a work area, and a bathroom with a large shower.
ANTYKWA is also located on the first floor. It consists of: a bedroom with a double bed and a work area, and a bathroom with a large shower.
ROTUNDA is a room on the first floor. It consists of a bedroom with a double bed and a bathroom with a shower. From the Rotunda's windows, you'll see our old orchard.
TEXTURE is our newest room, located at the end of the hallway. The spacious bedroom with a large bed is separated from the living area by a half-timbered wall. Guests also have access to a large, bright bathroom with two windows and a comfortable shower. The room is located on the first floor.
All rooms have comfortable beds that can be converted into two single beds.
At your request, we can combine four of the rooms on the first floor into a separate apartment, the FONT LIBRARY, for eight people, and rent it exclusively.
Each room is dedicated to two adults and decorated in a different style. The décor is created by carefully selected furniture, accessories, books, albums, and paintings by our friends, including local artist Marianna Sztyma. The first floor features a common area, consisting of a living room with a kitchenette, a games and books area, a balcony overlooking the orchard, a large table, and a fireplace.
Be warned that Milęcice is a vibrant village – cows graze here, tractors drive through the fields, harvests are underway, bees buzz, and cicadas play their concerts. This has its own unique charm, but also brings with it its distinctive sounds and aromas.
We hope that our home will appeal to those captivated by the Lower Silesian landscape and who want to explore it better. You will also find a place to relax, work quietly, or pursue your own plans.
We'll be happy to prepare breakfast for you – 50 PLN per person. We serve both classic and vegetarian options, with no special dietary restrictions.
In the Italika apartment, you'll have exclusive use of the kitchen on the ground floor. Upstairs, next to the rooms, there's a simple, shared kitchenette – perfect for coffee, tea, and simple kitchen essentials.
There's also a fire pit – you can roast something over the fire or cook in a cauldron.
If you're planning to visit with a larger group, ask about organizing meals.
You can buy fresh bread and other products at the nearby shop, which is a short walk or bike ride away. You can also ask us on site; we'll be happy to answer any questions.
It's true that we are located far from the hustle and bustle, nestled among the forests, fields, meadows, and hills of the Jizera Foothills. It's also true that this is a land full of picturesque corners, historical monuments, breathtaking views, small chapels, charming villages dating back to the Middle Ages, palaces, castles, and mountains practically at your feet. Such a wealth of attractions makes it difficult to get bored, so we've made sure that our home and its surroundings are conducive to the sweet pleasures of doing nothing. You can fill your days with this activity or practice it after returning from our charming surroundings.
A few days is definitely not enough to hike, bike, ski, kayak, and explore the wild corners of the Jizera Foothills and its beautiful architecture. So come for a longer stay, because it's worth it...
...go wherever your feet take you. The charming town of Lubomierz is just a 5-minute walk away. Worth seeing in the town: the market square with its arcades, the town hall, the historic bridge, Baroque sculptures, and the church towering over the town. There's also the Kargul and Pawlak Museum in a beautiful Renaissance tenement house, and several shops. The National Comedy Film Festival takes place here in August. Be sure to visit the Benedictine monastery, which is visible from our house. This has been the true heart of Lubomierz since the Middle Ages, and is surrounded by Benedictine Park – perfect for a picnic or a walk. Did we mention that Lubomierz was once called the Valley of Love?
…it's worth taking the blue hiking trail right next to Wietorówka. Beyond the village, it heads towards Lwówek Śląski (north) and leads along the slopes of Kamiennik and Kołodziej, offering magnificent views of the valley, Lubomierz, Milęcice, and the panorama of the Karkonosze and Jizera Mountains. This part of the trail is wild and very rarely used; you're more likely to encounter a deer than another hiker. If you're brave enough to climb the balks and don't mind the narrow paths, you can reach the mysterious palace and ruins of the manor farm in Nagórze.
...venture a little further afield on trails in the Jizera Mountains, Karkonosze, Kaczawskie Mountains...or hike the wild paths of the Jizera and Kaczawskie Foothills, the Land of Extinct Volcanoes, or the Bóbr Valley.
...bring your bikes with you or rent them nearby. Ride the route along the Kwisa River to Lake Leśniańskie and then to Czocha Castle. Head to Świeradów-Zdrój for singletrack and the Czech side to Nowe Miasto pod Smrekiem (marked trails are located on the border, around the Smrek Mountain massif, with a predominance of paths on the Czech side). You can also head to Jakuszyce and explore winter cross-country trails by bike.
...strap on your skis. The nearest ski resort is Ski&Sun in Świeradów Zdrój (21 km from Wietorówka), Ski Arena Szrenica (22 km from Wietorówka), and Jakuszyce – approximately 100 km of cross-country ski trails (23 km from Wietorówka).
…it's also worth getting in the car and taking the road through the Bóbr Valley Landscape Park (about 30 minutes) to Siedlęcin. Here, you can see the largest medieval residential tower in Poland. Inside, you can see the only paintings in the world preserved in situ depicting the legend of Sir Lancelot of the Lake. And on Saturdays, a local produce market is held beneath the tower.
…visit one of the vineyards, which produce delicious wine. We recommend visiting Jerzmanice, Sokołowiec (Agat Winery), and Uniejowice (Kindler Winery).
…visit Lenno Palace to feel like you're in Tuscany, try a lemon tart, and sip coffee. And just above is the oldest brick castle in Silesia – Wleń Castle.
…note a curious fact... Nowhere in Poland are there so many Nepomucens as in Lower Silesia. You'll see several of them in Lubomierz itself. More information can be found at: nepomuki.pl.
…and if you'd like to stay with us longer, it's worth spending a few days in Wietorówka. We have a barn with an outdoor cinema. You can work together here, eat a meal, practice yoga, but above all, relax. Read a book, paint a picture, or take an afternoon nap. You can hide out here when it rains or when the sky is scorching, find your own little nook, and do whatever you want. With the barn doors open, you can enjoy the view of meadows and hills. Behind the barn is a grove, and hammocks nestle among the trees – another good place to slow down and admire the setting sun. There's also a meadow and an old orchard with apples, plums, and pears. In the evenings, you can sit by the fire. If you need even more space and a little more breathing room, a 15-minute walk from Wietorówka awaits you. It's a spot on a hill offering a beautiful view of Lubomierz, the Karkonosze Mountains, and the Jizera Mountains in the background. Armchairs await you there.
And if you feel like getting out and about, you'll find a Sudetes Guide under one roof. Przemek will suggest places to visit and, upon request, will prepare and lead a personalized tour.
Wietorówka invites adults who want to spend some time without children.
If you come to work with us, choosing a place will probably be your biggest challenge. Each room has a desk, upstairs – a large communal table, and in the garden you'll find several quiet spots where you can set up your laptop, a book, or just sit with a coffee.
There's also our barn – a seasonal space for work, meetings, and spending time together. In spring and summer, you can work here, practice yoga, have dinner together, play board games, and sometimes in the evenings we host a cinema. The barn also features a separate, intimate space with a collection of plates painted especially for us by Marianna Szyma. The barn itself also hosts cultural events – meetings with authors and artists, concerts, and exhibitions.
We also have a garden and an old orchard filled with trees, tables, and armchairs. Here, you can laze around, read, or work.
A 15-minute walk from Wietorówka, you'll find Widokówka – a hilltop retreat with views of Lubomierz, the Karkonosze Mountains, and the Jizera Mountains.
Important: We have fiber optic cable throughout the house, and Wi-Fi works in all rooms and common areas. However, there's no Wi-Fi coverage in the barn.
