There is such a magical place in Krakow, a few steps from the zoo, in Lasek Wolski. It has edible chestnuts, planted by a famous artist in the 1950s, there is also a 19th-century building with a secret garden full of organic vegetables, and a guesthouse, filled with the art of former farmers. Artists, painters and writers used to visit this place, Stanisław Lem loved it, seeing his native Lviv here somewhere. He talked about our house and its hosts in the following way: "In Przegorzały there was a beautiful, large, old orchard with apple trees, which still gave birth to a lot of apples. From the north, the Burtanów orchard borders the Wolski Forest, where the Krakow zoo is located. We used to go there to collect fur from shedding bison for Romek Husarski's mother, and she made sweaters from it."
And now wonderful people come here, and no less wonderful hosts try to feed them with dignity and provide hospitality, contact with art, which there is still plenty of and healthy rest. We invite you to Ekosamotnia * on the edge of Lasek Wolski in Krakow.
* the season runs from April to the end of October

Our kitchen is full of the idea and practice of slow food cuisine - based on local ingredients, regional recipes and all natural. We grow herbs and vegetables from seeds ourselves, make pickles, sourdoughs, preserves and juices. We love baking bread with various additions and serving fancy pastries. Our cuisine is based on the flavors of Polish cuisine, with a Mediterranean touch, and our desserts are our own recipes. There are rumors that they are worth sinning for...
