We have two cosy houses for you. They stand near ours, among the meadows, forests and lakes of the Suwałki Region. It smells of wet earth, wood and fresh bread, and we believe that this smell is better for everyone. We invite you to a place where we cook with enthusiasm, guests find pleasure and care for themselves. With soaks in a hot tub, birch twigs, salt peelings, honey and ginger compresses, water from Czarna Hańcza River, and spreads with coffee and cinnamon. With good taste and interesting conversation. This is our Suwałki Region, come and discover it.
We built our houses in accordance with the idea of ecospacing - architecture that is harmonious with nature, using ecological materials. It smells of wood, the Wigry forest and freshly baked bread. We have made sure that you feel comfortable here, regardless of whether you like lazing around on the terrace with your kids or running through the forests and exploring the area by bike. We will adapt to your wishes and no one will disturb you. We have two separate houses for you, on two plots located a 5-minute walk from each other, with two bedrooms, a living room (in the older house with a low-emission fireplace stove, in the newer one there is no furnace, but there is a photovoltaic system), connected to it kitchen, terrace and bathroom. A family of 4 will sleep well here - we can also prepare an extra bed. And we'll talk if you want...
We cooperate with local suppliers and neighbors. So you can order a banya nearby from Piotr or Zbyszek, and massages, e.g. from Agnieszka or Ola.
Here, the days are filled with the smell of baked bread, home-made preserves and the Wigry forest. We bring breakfast from the garden, and we go to friendly farmers for eggs, milk and butter. We welcome you with the smell of fresh bread or challah, and then it's like Hitchcock - the tension increases with homemade strawberry jam or goat cheese from Diana. We cook in the spirit of slow cooking, seriously, in accordance with the traditional flavors of the Suwałki region, although we also color them, inspired by travels to various corners of the world. And... we tell the truth. Krystyna makes the best lentils. But we know how to make a good potato sausage, and on cold evenings we warm up with pumpkin soup with apples. We catch fish and prepare it in 101 ways. We bring smoked meat from Aleksandrów and serve it with homemade cheese.
