There is a house in an old apple orchard in Rzeczyca, with no cell phone reception or wifi. There are 4 hectares of revitalised farm, right next door to Kazimierz with its roosters and lovely art galleries and delicious Jewish food. There is an old wooden house where the hosts live, a barn where you can eat, dance and have a party and two straw houses.
In the old orchards on the hill you will find idyllic peace, the smell of juicy fruit, time for conversation, reading books and a moment for the children. You can bring your bathing suit - we have a swimming pond with water like from a mountain stream. Come and join us!
On an ecological farm located where Kazimierz's roosters say goodnight, Easter kittens meow loudly, and eggs taste as before. We bought 4 ha of a run-down farm and fled from Warsaw to Kazimierz. We renovated an old wooden log house and gave it a second colorful life. This is where we live, we have resurrected the Barn (you can find the projector here) where you can eat, dance and have a party. We are also in the process of building three straw houses for guests (two are ready so far). In total, we can accommodate 36 people in the rooms.
- There are two guest houses at your disposal, with a total of 9 separate 4-person rooms (two beds downstairs and two on the mezzanine). Each room with a separate entrance, mezzanine and bathroom with shower and hairdryer. There are towels, bedside tables with lamps, style, chic and minimalist elegance.
- The guest house is built using the "strawbale" technology, i.e. it is a frame structure filled with straw.
In addition, at your disposal is:
- 120 m2 barn with a covered terrace (80 m2). This rural banquet and conference hall was created by adapting an existing barn, while maintaining the atmosphere of the original. You can organize an atmospheric communion, baptism, training or workshop here. There is a projector available in this part of the farm.
- Parking at the facility.
- An old apple orchard located on a hill where you can lie down with your belly up.
There is no TV or Wi-Fi in the rooms, and there is no coverage on the farm. You have to talk, you can read, lie under a pear tree and stuff like that.
In the old apple and pear orchard, we cook what nature has given us. We like hosting and serving, because we know that food brings people together and it is at the common table that bonds are formed. We combine with regional cuisine dishes in an original version using, mainly, products from friendly local farms. We like to test new recipes, and seasonality is our main ingredient.
We invite you to:
- Breakfasts are buffet style. It includes: rennet and white cheeses from our neighbor, home-made yoghurts, eggs from happy hens, jams from our fruit, cold meats from local family-owned factories, good sourdough bread and real, not "puffed" rolls.
- Dinners (soup, main course and dessert) with our own cakes. If necessary, we also prepare a vegan version.
Eating in the area is, of course, in Kazimierz Dolny, 9 km from Gołębnik.
- U Hairdresser Restaurant - here traditional Polish and Jewish dishes, such as chicken soup, pork knuckle, but also Macobraj, i.e. omelette with matzo and shakshuka.
- You can't miss Sarzyński Art Bakery. It is here that the famous Kazimierz roosters are baked, and the young generation of the family, i.e. the talented sisters Iga and Anna, enchant the most beautiful cakes and cookies on this side of the Vistula River.
- Zielona Tawerna - apparently you won't find other such pork chops.
- Bajgiel Restaurant is primarily Jeremi's Bagels prepared according to an original, family recipe.
Rzeczyca is basically the end of the world, but you will reach us in 2.5 hours from Warsaw and one hour from Lublin. Here trees sing and drop juicy pears and ruddy apples from their branches, birds serve wild trills on bird radio frequencies, and the internet and cellular network ends somewhere in front of our house. So the special attraction is the lack of coverage. It is a place designed to calm down, enjoy nature and completely cut off from reality.
We provide our guests with a swimming pond in the natural swimming pool technology. It is a treat not only for children. It is a real chlorine-free swimming pool, the water of which is pure like the water in the stream.
Our towels are not beach towels, so bring your own to swim in the pond.
Not Podhale, not the Karkonosze, not the Beskids, not even the Pieniny. It may surprise you, but in the immediate vicinity you will find 3 ski lifts. Winter in Gołębnik is just as beautiful and attractive as other seasons:
- a skiing and snowboarding center in Rąblów,
- Kazimierz Dolny ski station,
- Parchatka ski slope.
A visit to the neighboring Vineyard Wieczorków will complement the relaxing holiday session. Be sure to go there for a wine tasting combined with local cheeses, cold meats and fish smoked in your own smokehouse. During such meetings, the owners talk about wine and their passion for it. You can also be shown around the vineyard and see the winemaking process.
If you don't find a festival or art exhibition in Kazimierz nad Wisłą, check out the local cafes. From many of them you will learn amazing things about the city. After the delicious pastries and buns from the Sarzyński Art Studio, take a stroll through the streets of Kazimierz. It is not only a renaissance square surrounded by tenement houses from the 16th and 17th centuries, but also a parish church, where in summer you can listen to concerts on one of the oldest organs in Poland, and a castle, in whose dilapidated courtyard, in the 20th century artists liked to organize balls with panorama of Kazimierz.
What else can you do in the area?
- sleigh ride,
- night tour of Kazimierz gorges,
- Nordic walking with a guide (beautiful routes !!),
- bicycle routes.
What’s there for children?
For children, we have tracts of grass to run, a playground, willow pears and apples for apple pie. As there are small cats in the countryside, a tractor will pass somewhere and a stork will fly overhead.
We have put at your disposal an ecological swimming pond with a paddling pool for children in the natural swimming pool technology. With such a pond, children must be under the constant care of adults, but there will be a lot of fun.
