For years, the ideas of creating a place where people would feel at home were born in our heads.
Finally, the day came, and in fact, the decision to change my life was made overnight. It was not easy and was associated with strong emotions, fears and doubts. We made this decision twice - the first time when we decided to go to Great Britain and the second time (a dozen or so years later) when we decided to come back! We were fed up with the noise, the rush, the big city, we dreamed of contact with nature, silence and our own corner of greenery. We decided that here in Taszów we are building our new beginning.
When the decision was made, we started collecting old, atmospheric furniture, dreaming that they would finally find their place.
And that's how, in mid-2019, we managed to buy a settlement with two houses in the tiny village of Taszów, Lower Silesia. Day by day we discovered new layers of possibilities. We started the renovation with great enthusiasm, completely on our own. Without the help of an architect and without a design or plan, we renovated each room step by step. The house underwent a general renovation and this is how "Obórka" was created - a beautiful room for two people with a private bathroom, which used to be a backyard cowshed and even now a cow lives in it, only in the form of an armchair.
Our main idea when renovating the house was to preserve the rural atmosphere of the house, which is over 100 years old, with a bit of modernity. . The old floor was made of several hundred-year-old boards from an old granary. But what we are very happy about are the original beams in the kitchen that we managed to preserve and restore. The house had a bread oven and a fireplace kitchen, which were created by Sławek, the host's handyman.
There is also an original stone wall and cleaned brick.
Our dream was to create a friendly and cozy place for everyone. We create homes where everyone can feel at home. We focus on integration and spending time together with our guests. But if you want to be alone, then we quietly disappear.
We serve delicious breakfast baskets using local products, and we make our own preserves from fruit from the garden. We bake our own bread, cakes and meat in the bread oven. In the near future we are planning long slow breakfasts and conversations about everything and nothing. That's how we like it. Truly, without haste and with all your heart.
It is an ideal place for people who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and make new friends. Come with friends and to meet new friends. With families, with pets and children. A huge garden connected to the forest, a wonderful old house - one of those that is said to have a "soul". On top of all this, there is a great atmosphere, peace and quiet.
Taszów is a tiny village whose origins date back to the 15th century, so it has quite a turbulent history. To this day, it has only fifteen permanent inhabitants, so you can relax here from the bustle and crowd and spend time only in your own company. A large house and an even larger garden, forest, clean air... it would seem that this place was created for an agritourism farm. First, however, we had to roll up our sleeves, because there was a lot of work to do on the renovation. It paid off - for 2.5 years, the Taszówka facility has been proudly welcoming and saying goodbye to delighted guests. But we don't rest on our laurels, we have huge plans for our "end of the world" - we want to stop time, put down the Internet, teach how to bake bread... make butter. We want to create an oasis of peace and good rest. Come eat a little slower!
