Calcographus noster Cracoviensis, or the royal official printer. This title was obtained by Hieronim Wietor in 1527 from Sigismund the Old. This outstanding Renaissance typographer was born in Lubomierz, whose roofs you will see from the windows of our centuries-old house in neighboring Mielęcice. The printer imported the latest typefaces from Italy - cut antiqua and Renaissance Italic. He introduced decorative italics into the press, modeled on the Italian chancellery. And he was the first to use fraktura for typesetting in Polish. And we, admiring the respectable resident of Lubomierz, in whose publishing house the first work on the history of Poland was printed, we called our house Wietorówka, and the apartment and three rooms in it: Antykwa, Fraktura, Rotunda and Italika.
Their interiors are clean in form and have few distractions. They were created to bring adults peace in their heads, space to focus and hear their own thoughts. On the ground floor there is an apartment for dog lovers, on the first floor there are three rooms and a common area with an old stove painted white (they can be rented separately or as a package). There is also a common barn for chilling or working, hammocks among the trees, a slightly wild meadow and a table in the old orchard. We have a lot of donated tables here. Everyone can gather, celebrate, workshop and enjoy the closeness of nature. Among the greenery and elderberry bushes, we fulfill one of our dreams, because we decided that it was not worth waiting until retirement. Don't wait either, come to Wietorówka.
In an old house, which we fell madly in love with at first sight, we have created an intimate guesthouse for adults. The old building stands on a hill, surrounded by greenery of the garden and old orchard. It offers guests a view of the charming Lubomierz. We have prepared for you one apartment with a separate entrance on the ground floor and three rooms and a common space on the first floor.
ITALIKA is located on the ground floor, 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 hall with a wardrobe, a bedroom with a double bed and a workspace and a bathroom with a shower.
ANTYKWA is also located on the first floor. It consists of: a bedroom with a double bed and a workspace and a bathroom with a shower.
ROTUNDA is a room on the first floor. It consists of: a bedroom with a double bed and a relaxation corner and a bathroom with a shower. In all rooms we have comfortable beds that can be converted into two separate beds.
At your request, we can combine three rooms on the first floor into an independent apartment FONT LIBRARY for six people and rent it exclusively.
Each of the interiors is dedicated to 2 adults and decorated in a different style. The interior design is created by carefully selected furniture, accessories, books and albums, and paintings by our friends, including a local artist - Marianna Sztyma. On the first floor there is a large and spacious common space - it consists of a living room connected to the kitchen, as well as: a corner with games and books, a balcony overlooking the orchard, a large table, a fireplace with a supply of wood.
We warn you that Milęcice is a living village - cows graze here, tractors drive through the fields, and harvests take place, bees buzz, and cicadas play their concerts. This has its own unique charm, but it is also associated with characteristic sounds and aromas.
We hope that the house, in a separate part of which we live, will appeal to all those who need respite, a quiet place to work or space to implement their own plans.
We give you everything you need to cook. The kitchen is part of a large common area. You can relax and have a good time here. In the Italika apartment on the ground floor, you will have the kitchen exclusively for yourself.
We encourage you to celebrate meals at the table in the orchard, delicious food and listen to the cicadas, just like in Tuscany.
If you prefer not to cook, we will organize breakfasts for you (additional fee), or we will give you the contact details for vegetarian catering, which you can order for the duration of your stay. You can buy fresh bread and other products in a nearby shop, which is a few minutes' walk or a bike ride away. Below is a list of recommendations - we suggest where to eat and where to go for local products. You can also ask us on site, we will be happy to tell you everything.
It is true that we are far from the hustle and bustle, among forests, fields, meadows and hills of the Jizera Foothills. It is also true that this is a land full of picturesque spots, monuments, views that make you hold your breath, home chapels, charming villages dating back to the Middle Ages, palaces, castles and mountains almost within reach of your feet. Such an accumulation of attractions means that it can be difficult to get bored, which is why we have made sure that our house and its surroundings are conducive to sweet idleness. You can fill your days with it or practice it after returning from our charming areas.
A few days is definitely too short to hike in the mountains, ride bikes, ski, kayak... get to know the wild corners of the Jizera Foothills and its beautiful architecture. So drop in for a longer stay because it is worth...
... going wherever your feet take you. The full charm of Lubomierz will be a 5-minute walk away. In the town, it is worth seeing: the market square with arcades, the town hall, the historic bridge, baroque sculptures and the church towering over the town. There is also the Kargul and Pawlak museum in a beautiful Renaissance tenement house, several shops. In August, the National Comedy Film Festival takes place here. Be sure to visit the Benedictine monastery, which can be seen from our house. This has been the real heart of Lubomierz since the Middle Ages, surrounded by the Benedictine park - perfect for a picnic or a walk. Did we mention that Lubomierz was once called the Valley of Love?
... it is worth taking the blue hiking trail right next to Wietorówka. Behind the village, it heads towards Lwówek Śląski (to the north) and leads along the slopes of Kamiennik and Kołodziej, from where there is a wonderful view of the valley, Lubomierz, Milęcice, the panorama of the Karkonosze and the Jizera Mountains. This part of the trail is wild and very rarely visited, you are more likely to meet a deer on the way than another hiker. If you dare to climb the borders and are not afraid of narrow paths, you can reach the mysterious palace and ruins of the manor in Nagórze.
… go a little further on the 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.
… take your bikes with you or rent them on site. Ride the route along the Kwisa to Lake Leśniańskie and then to Czocha Castle. Set off for singletrack to Świeradów-Zdrój and to 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 go to Jakuszyce and cycle along winter cross-country trails.
… 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), Jakuszyce – about 100 km of cross-country ski trails (23 km from Wietorówka).
… it is 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. You can see the only preserved paintings in the world depicting the legend of Sir Lancelot of the Lake. And on Saturdays, a local produce market is held under the tower.
… visit one of the vineyards, which produce delicious wine. We recommend visiting Jerzmanice, Sokołowiec (Agat vineyard) and Uniejowice (Kindler vineyard).
… visit the Lenno Palace to feel like you are in Tuscany, try a lemon tart and drink coffee. And just above it is the oldest brick castle in Silesia – Wleń Castle.
… note an interesting fact... There are no more Nepomucens in Poland than in Lower Silesia. You will see a few of them in Lubomierz itself. More information can be found on the website: nepomuki.pl.
… it is also worth spending a few days in Wietorówka. We have a barn with an outdoor cinema in it. You can work together here, have a meal, but above all, take a breath. Read a book in a hammock, paint a picture or take an afternoon nap. You can hide here when it rains or when the sky is hot, find your nook and do whatever you want. At the open gates you can enjoy the view of meadows and hills stretching all the way to Lwówek Śląski. Behind the barn there is a grove and hammocks among the trees. This is the best place to admire the sunset. We also have a meadow and an old orchard with apples, plums and pears, and there is also a place for a bonfire.
Generally, there is no boredom and in addition, you will live under one roof with a Sudety Guide... Przemek will be happy to advise you in which direction, what and when... at your request, he will also prepare an individual trip on which he will be happy to take you.

What’s there for employees?
Before we renovated the house, there was already fiber optics. Wi-Fi covers the common area and all bedrooms. Additionally, in Italica (the ground floor apartment) there is a socket to which you can connect with a cable to use the full speed of the internet. If you need it, you can also connect with a cable in the common area on the first floor. During the arrangement, we made sure that the spaces were clean in form and had as few distractions as possible. We wanted to give you a place to focus and hear your own thoughts.
If you come to work with us, your concern may be choosing the right place. You will certainly have no shortage of tables here. There are desks in each room, and in the common area on the first floor there is a large table. We also have a space for creative work in the barn. There you will find a large table and an old threshing machine, where you go up the stairs. And there are: a desk, bed, hammock and easels that you can use. We do not have wifi in the barn yet. You have to use the internet from your mobile phone.
