Wipsowo 44 is the address of the farm we bought 10 years ago. In the ocean of meadows in Warmia stood a house in a deplorable state. The date 1897 was written on the wall - quite a past behind this ruin. The 130-year-old farmhouse has acquired a new look and continues to be a natural part of the Warmia landscape, and we have gained a new life. Calmer, more modest, more aware, barefoot, sociable and fragrant. Summer, lavender, spring, orchard, autumn, mushrooms, winter, frost. We don't go anywhere in the summer. It is so beautiful, clean and healthy here that every day is an event not worth missing. Old orchards, vast meadows up to three walls of mixed woods beautify each day with a million different colours every day. The swaying long, multi-coloured grasses are an attraction in themselves.
You may never leave us. Spa in Kurnik, Ruska Bania, breakfasts in the orchard, yoga on the terrace and Lavender Field provide enough impressions. The lack of cellular signal definitely helps to immerse yourself in the new reality.
And our adorable animals. They adore our guests. We have the impression that they are full-time petting animals, cuddling and adoring all comers. We also have ducks and happy hens living with us on the farm, which are fed with sesame seeds during the season. This is why we have adopted the term "sesame eggs". They end up in scrambled eggs, in cakes, soft and hard.
You can admire the heavenly spectacle, relax during a massage at the Kurnik, and you can get to know the cordial surroundings. Saturday's Eco Market in Jeziorany is a must-see. The various organic products of local farmers are known throughout the country. In fact, the lakes surround us on all sides. As far as the eye can see from our farmhouse, you can see the water from the upstairs windows, and you can reach it on foot. You can explore the surroundings by bike or in a canoe from a lake or riverbank. We will set a boat for you on the water, rest your head.
We value peace, quiet and your company. The places where you will be hosted are separate rooms and flats, the Lavender House - a cottage by a lavender field or the Milla House - a cottage in an old orchard with a million subtle colours. It is beautiful in spring, summer, autumn and winter. So you are welcome at any time of the year.
Learn&Rest is a very old, far enough away from people - settlement in Warmia.
The main, very old house was built in 1897 and the other buildings were built over the years until today.
The building for guests is the new "old" barn in the "EXCLUSIVE" version. We have 2 comfortable double apartments with access to the terrace, comfortable beds, bathrooms and kitchenettes. On the first floor there are 3 and 4-person rooms with single beds and bathrooms. At the disposal of the guests of the large house, in the common part downstairs, there is a large breakfast table, coffee set, cafe space and a huge terrace integrated with the meadow and forest. Cranes are still screaming in the meadow. Even now.
If you value privacy, choose our LAVENDER HOUSE.
The most beautiful time of the Lavender House is the time of Blooming Peonies. When it fades, the lavender season will begin - the most fragrant time of the year. From the window and the veranda you can see a piece of our lavender plantation, it is just around the corner. This is where you can come with your dog.
The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen - prepared for everyday use, bathroom with shower. Sleeping - 2 people downstairs + 2 - people on the mezzanine. The bedroom for two people is located on the mezzanine, which is accessed by steep, wooden stairs - rather for people in good shape and physical fitness. For those who prefer to sleep downstairs - there is a double sofa. In the kitchen - basic equipment, if you lack something - let us know - we will try to fill in the gaps. WiFi is near our house, in the fitness room and the large Learn Rest house, i.e. everywhere around.
You can choose a fresh, like the first strawberries, MILLA HOUSE cottage. You can also live here with a dog. This cottage is full of noble colors and raw materials. You will feel it from the very entrance.
Comfortably equipped with a large bathtub with a window "open" to the world and nature. There is a fully equipped kitchen, a bedroom upstairs with a terrace and downstairs a fold-out sofa, a wood stove and of course an exit to the terrace with a view of nature.
This year (2023) we are putting into use SENSEI ROOM, an extraordinary, two-person apartment for two people.
It is located on the first floor of our barn. Through a long bridge you will pass from the apartment to an extraordinary room for relaxation, meditation or just being together. This place is just for you, no one else has access to it. You will feel here like a couple in a wonderland. The relaxation room, which you enter through the Sensei Room, is not heated, so you will find thermal comfort rather in summer and early autumn. The Sensei Room apartment itself is warm all year round. We invite you here without dogs.
THE HERMIT'S HOUSE is a place for those who want to be alone with themselves. Located by a lavender field with a view of the meadows and forest. The cottage is modestly equipped. Bed, lamp for reading at night, chair. deckchair on the mini terrace. This is a place for people who need silence and solitude. The cottage is available only in summer and late spring. There is no bathroom here. The resident of the Hermit's Cottage uses the bathroom in the large house or the Spa in the Kurnik. You can also come here with a dog.
Important: in the large house we host you without animal friends. For guests with pets we have cottages Milla House, Lawendowy Domek and Domek Pustelnik.
It is always fairytale here. Wipsowo is a charming village in Warmia, and in its distant colony number 44.
We appreciate and respect Nature, Art, Aesthetics, Convenience and Comfort.
This is what we offer to our Guests.
Here you are at Home.
<Breakfasts are prepared by the master of delicious, healthy dishes - Mrs. Jola. In each version (vegetarian, traditional, gluten-free) it is delicious, light and healthy. Vegetables in season come from our large greengrocer's, eggs of course from our happy hens, honey and preserves we take from our own supplies from the dugout or buy from the neighbors.
For guests from the cottages - Lawendowy, Milla House, Pustelnik and the Sensei Room apartment - meals are provided in a basket.
The nearest shop in Wipsowo can be reached on foot (2 km) or by bike (we provide free bikes). In Wipsowo you can also order good, homemade pizza from the neighbors, which will be delivered straight to our yard.
In Jeziorany (7 km) on Saturdays there is of course the Eko Targ, known throughout the region, where all the local experts in home-made food at a star level gather. You can buy cheeses, bread, preserves, oils, cakes, herbs, vegetables and fruits, country dairy products, fish, cold cuts, pates. Whatever the hosts prepare.
You probably can't get more bored than here. It's a kind of shock therapy for a busy body. You'll be tested. At first, it'll be hard because the body has to survive the detox, but later, when you come to terms with the idea that you're staying here for a few days and the internet is only available in some places, you'll appreciate the peace, quiet and the smell of blooming lavender.
A great way to build muscle mass and sunbathe without basking in the sun like lizards is to train in our fitness room in the barn. It just so happens that we have dumbbells, barbells, yoga mats, meditation cushions and many other accessories that motivate physical activity and relaxation. You can also go to the nearby lake on foot or by bike (we have six). You relax, and we're waiting for your reports. We'll be happy to share any with us@.
You can laze around on the terrace or in hammocks in the birch grove all day long. The surroundings are beautiful, so it's worth going on a bike trip. You can ride your bike to Jeziorany for the Eco Market or a good pizza. And in the evening, you can do a workout in the gym in the barn or sit by the fire by the summer kitchen in the birch grove. You can also take advantage of a stay in our SPA in the Kurnik and in the Ruska Bania and Finnish Sauna.
In a habitat that was created for rest and relaxation, there could be no shortage of rural biological regeneration. Look into the henhouse and you will find a SPA there. Chickens have lived here since 1926, but due to the development of our agro, they moved to a new location, closer to the green grass and willows by the pond. We, on the other hand, have pimped out the old chicken apartment for you and decided to make it available to all those who are looking for closeness to nature in a unique climate and place in Warmia.
The natural ingredients we use in treatments are collected by us from the field and garden, so that in autumn and winter they can be used as masks or scrubs. A close-knit group of friends will definitely be happy to go to Ruska Bania. An ideal place to spend time together for even a dozen people. However, we do not recommend entering it for people who do not feel sympathy for each other, because it is difficult not to look each other in the eye.
It is good to plan your stay with us in the summer at the turn of July and August, to be able to see how purple we become with delight. This is when our lavender fields bloom, which smell really relaxing. You will have the opportunity to participate in the flower harvest, make your own bouquets and take them home and enjoy this scent all winter long.
What’s there for children?
The biggest attraction for children are our friendly animals. Benio the dog and cats are a wonderful group of friends and coordinators of games. Currently, we also have rabbits, ducks, chickens, one guinea fowl and geese. Other attractions are everything that nature has to offer. Forest, meadows, space and delicious pancakes. You can explore the area on foot, you can take bikes for children, because we have vehicles for parents on site. Lakes, hills, ponds, fog, clouds, deer, flowers, butterflies, a dog, chickens, lavender. For children, we also have a small colorful playhouse, a mini sandbox and a basket with toys. Parents can lie on deckchairs right next to their children at this time. Rolling down the hill by the house, collecting bouquets of wild flowers, staging wonderfully professional children's plays and dance performances on the terrace stage. It's really great! And swings. They are in every corner.
What’s there for employees?
Good wifi in a large house, non-stop service with good coffee. Lots of fresh water with mint and lemon, hope for dinner... An electrical socket under the table, a projector, a magnetic wall or flipchart, a printer can be useful. They are here on site.
