Let yourself be talked into a therapy for the soul in the Bieszczady Mountains. For healing forest baths shinrin yoku, meditation on the Barat Kut hill, at the foot of Mágura Łomniańska (Ukraine), a walk to the old orchard, for apples and pears straight from the trees. For a long sleep on futons filled with four layers of carded cotton and on pillows made of bamboo fabrics. For a sip of alkaline water from your own source and a walk along the Mszaniec stream. In the local forests you can meet kingfishers, wolf tracks and bear paws imprinted in the mud. And in the old Boyko chyża there are two rooms with bathrooms, the decor resembles Japanese wabi - sabi and a shared kitchen, in the historical part of the house.

The house stands on a beautiful plot overlooking Magura (Ukraine) and is an authentic Boyko chyża, which has been historically restored by an architect. Chyża is built exclusively from natural materials: ecological clay, concrete floors polished with beeswax, hemp that insulates the house, stone and old 100-year-old and new wood. You will not find plastic elements or chemical building materials in the house. Each wooden element (windows, doors, stairs, floor, ceiling) that we had to restore was made individually by a carpenter. The house has its own water intake, is powered by solar energy and is 90% self-sufficient. Because we lived in Asia for a very long time, we focused on the minimalist Wabi-Sabi style. If nature and the pleasure of the simple life of the Boykos play in your heart, we invite you to our place of power.
