There are such combinations that seem completely natural and even inseparable. Like the Żywiec Beskids and quiet hiking trails without tourists, like Szczyrk and skis, straw and the smell of childhood in the countryside and finally wine and cheese. Here in Żywiec, famous for its brewery, we have created a family vineyard, the fruit of which, without the use of wine chemistry, is used to create our pink Pinot Noir and white Cuvee.
Surrounded by an oak forest, the greenery of the southern slopes, birds singing and in an atmosphere of constant relaxation, Sen & Wino is a place that combines what we like the most. Good wine and good dreams. We are a family that decided to create a holiday complex for you out of passion. We built two ecological, anti-allergic houses, whose wooden skeleton is filled with straw cubes, and staying in such a place is a better treatment for the body than treatments in Busko Zdrój.
You already know that you can count on a good night's sleep, homemade wine with a board of local delicacies, but you do not know that this is not the end. In winter, we jump into ice holes, spend whole days on ski tour trips, or on the nearby slopes. In the summer, we organise orienteering marches, burn calories on bicycles, and in the evening, with a glass of wine, relax in the jacuzzi. We are happy to share our slow attractions with you. We invite you to our Żywiec Beskids. Here, where the landscape resembles Tuscany and family dreams come true.
In straw houses that smell like childhood in the countryside. Those nights in the barn, where little kittens were running, mice were hiding in the corners, and hard straws were digging into your back. Although we will spare you the attractions related to straw behind your shirt and animals in the nooks and crannies, we will ensure healthy sleep and natural surroundings.
We have three houses for you, each for a maximum of 7 people, which first smell of straw, and when they are plastered - of earth and forest. Sometimes even grass when it blooms. After spending a few nights in such a house, some people no longer want to sleep anywhere else.
Everything here revolves around wine, and the interior design of the houses is no different. The interiors are inspired by our tastes.
Solaris Cottage:
refers to the preferences of Agnieszka, who enjoys light, refreshing white, rose and sparkling wines. He likes noticeable citrus, tropical and floral flavors. Hence the light, gray finish of the house, which is associated with summer, cool and refreshing wine.
Regent Cottage:
this is a reflection of Szymon's taste, who is a connoisseur of red wines. It likes tannic flavors, notes of ripe fruit and a noticeable "barrel" effect. That's why Regent was finished with a larch board left in a natural, slightly red color, which may visually evoke associations with mature red wine.
Cottage Bianca:
Bianca remains a compromise between the two previous houses and there we used oil in the shade of natural oak to finish the ceiling. This illustrates the specificity of the Biancki variety, whose taste is crispy like dessert varieties, fruity and neutral.
The houses have a semi-detached layout as follows:
On the ground floor
- bedroom with a double bed
- bathroom (toilet, shower, towels, cosmetic set, hairdryer)

- air conditioning
On the mezzanine
- 3 beds for individual configuration
- bedside tables
Outside
- terrace with a view of the vineyard and the surrounding forest
- jacuzzi
- swimming pool
-hammocks
- fireplace,
- trampoline, ping-pong, tree house and swing
This is what it looks like in numbers:
- bedroom: 7.5 m²
- bathroom: 4m²
- living room: 17 m²
- mezzanine: 11.5 m²
- terrace: 16 m²
Clay houses have a very favorable microclimate, especially friendly to allergy sufferers, because they are made of non-toxic materials. Clay plasters allow you to maintain the humidity level at about 60% Rh, thanks to their properties they neutralize micropollutants, dust does not stick to them (they are electrostatically neutral) and they are antiseptic (they inhibit the growth of bacteria and mold on the walls). They constitute a great barrier against noise, ensuring acoustic comfort.
You eat what you want and drink it with our family wine. There is a kitchenette available in the houses, with everything you need for cooking, and if there is something missing, we will certainly meet these expectations. Just let me know.
On request, we will move heaven and earth to organize local products for you: butter, milk, cottage cheese, oscypek cheese, home-made eggs from grandma, home-made smoked meats. We can serve breakfast from these products (or other products, if you have any preferences).
You can certainly taste the delicious wines from our vineyard with us, together with a selection of regional cheeses suitable for the type of wine.
We create our liquid treasure from hand-picked and selected fruits that are unique and unique. It is not mass production wine, it is a family vineyard and winery, so we engage friends and the harvest is immediately merrier and work becomes a pleasure. We do not use wine chemistry in its broadest sense. Each of our wine is, in a sense, a work on which we work all year round. At the stage of their creation, we make many efforts both to reflect the individual character of the strains and the uniqueness of this place. Each of them is full of our emotions, dreams and passions.
