Siedlisko Ikigai
Poland, Greater Poland Province, Sobiesęki Pierwsze
1 house
Without animals
Self catering

Do you ever get completely lost in something you do with passion? To derive joy and satisfaction from the activity itself, not the goal? This is ikigai - the Japanese philosophy of happiness, which suggests that we should look for pleasure and meaning in what we are doing at a given moment, without expecting spectacular results or applause. It is she who sanctions all those projects that we sometimes think about "without sense": novels written in a drawer and paintings that no one will see. What counts is the here and now. Our ikigai was to create a little Asia in the Greater Poland countryside. We renovated the house ourselves, in which almost everything was made with our hands: from the wardrobe to the decorations. However, our work had a clear goal - we wanted to make our guests travel to the Far East through their visit here. We traveled there for a long time, and Joanna had the opportunity to live in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and Thailand for 10 years. So you must believe that he has the climate and philosophy of Asia at his fingertips. Perhaps our habitat will help you discover your own ikigai?

Hi! This is Joanna and Mateusz. We love traveling, upcycling, woodworking and gardening, art (we also create a lot ourselves), cooking, psychology and books... and we can go on and on. Always busy with a new project :)
We dreamed of returning from big cities to a quiet, idyllic countryside, but we missed Asia. So we created little Asia. :) And now we want to share it with others. Our life, as well as our place, is inspired by the Japanese philosophy of "ichi-go ichi-e", which reminds us that every moment of meeting is one of a kind and unique. We want everyone who visits us to feel special and be able to find peace and inspiration.

- bathroom,
first floor:

The area of the habitat is not fenced. Around us we have a real village, where you can hear a rooster, a horse peeks through the fence, and sometimes a neighbor drives by in a carriage.
In the autumn season we provide air conditioning heating downstairs, heaters for the bathrooms, and wood for one day of burning in the fireplace.
However, if you love the fireplace and are very warm-loving - you can come with your own wood, or we can buy it for you :)

Reviews
Bardzo klimatyczne miejsce, ale było niestety trochę niedociągnięć, o których rozmawiałyśmy z gospodarzami i mam nadzieję zostaną rozwiązane w przyszłości, bo miejsce ma świetny potencjał. W opisie domu widnieje “do 11 osób” jednak krzeseł jest tylko dla pięciu, i nawet w 6 osób ciężko było komfortowo zjeść. Materace, kołdry i poduszki bardzo różniły się komfortem pomiędzy sypialniami. Łazienki, mimo że klimatyczne, są dość niepraktyczne. Pod prysznicami stoi woda, z czego na dole zalega ona na całej podłodze w łazience, czasem brakowało ciepłej wody. Jeśli chodzi o kuchnię, tam natrafiłyśmy na najwięcej problemów - zmywarka kiepsko domywała naczynia, a podczas zmywania ręcznego pod zlewem z kolanka wypadła rura i zalała podłogę i wnętrze szafki, co szybko naprawiłyśmy, jednak problem się powtórzył. Jeśli te rzeczy zostaną naprawione, myślę, że przestrzeń będzie naprawdę super. Przestrzeń na dworze jest piękna. W sadzie są owoce, przy stawie rosły kanie, a za płotem pasły się konie, można się było w pełni zrelaksować. Jest miejsce na ognisko oraz grilla, a także balia i tężnia, idealnie na lato :)
Cudowna lokalizacja. Ma duży potencjał. Było kilka niedociągnięć, którymi podzieliliśmy z właścicielami. Po ich poprawieniu jest szansa na doskonałe miejsce z japońskim klimatem pośrodku polskiej wsi. :)
Bardzo urokliwe miejsce w Azjatyckim stylu, idealne na grupowe zgromadzenia!
