No deadlines, rigid communication or overtime. Life in slow motion is right here. 15 minutes away from the Cloth Hall, the dragon and the bugle call, there is the smog-free Brzoskwinka Valley with the Beskidy Mountains in the background. It enchants with its views, undulating valleys, proximity to mountains, the smell of orchards and spectacular rocks.
In the midst of greenery, fruit bushes and a large garden, Zacisze has its headquarters. A house with a hundred-year-old history, which Łukasz and Magda rescued from oblivion. Now it enchants with modern décor in the spirit of hygge, lazy breakfasts at a shared table, sage honey from a friendly beekeeper and preserves without preservatives and enhancers. They have for you comfortable rooms with all the comforts for a total of 20 people, deckchairs to observe the constellations that shine brightest in Brzoskwinia and quiet moments by the fireplace.
Come for the moments. The ones we skip while running around every day. Find time for bike trips among the rocks, treasure hunts in the castle ruins, watching horses in the pasture, blackberries straight from the bush and wonderful views of the Beskids. Sometimes it is simply worth letting go for a while, and Zacisze is a place created for this.
In an old house immersed in greenery, in which we put our whole heart and a lot of creativity, and took out a few splinters from our fingers. The renovation took us over a dozen months full of inspiration, construction, design, renovation and restoration. We tried to make full use of old materials, e.g. hundred-year-old oak planks from a nearby barn, bricks, construction beams and boards that were used to finish the fireplace, kitchen and many other details. We also introduced greenery and oxygen to the interiors, and the common room turned into a real jungle.
Zacisze can accommodate a maximum of 20 people in 8 rooms. Each of them has a private bathroom and TV, and there is wifi access throughout the building.
6 double rooms, including 2 rooms with a balcony (single or double beds),
1 triple room (1 single bed + 1 double bed)
1 family room - 5 people (2 double beds, 1 single).
In the common area, make yourself comfortable in a cozy living room with a fireplace and a swinging swing, there is also a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator. In the garden, in a large gazebo, you will find peace and relief. Warm days must end with a fire and relaxation on a deckchair under a sky full of stars. After-dinner siesta on a hammock and raspberries straight from the bush for dessert. The chemical-free greengrocer and our fruit garden are at your disposal. You can eat as much as you want.
We feed at home, seasonally and in the spirit of slow food. We make every effort to ensure that as many products as possible come from small local suppliers and from our eco-garden. We serve breakfast in the form of a Swedish buffet, with everything your heart desires. Full baskets of pears, organic apples from our neighbors, from which vinegar, cider and all kinds of preserves are made. We buy the most delicious sage honey in the world from a beekeeper friend, and close the favorite summer flavors in jars. Without unnecessary "E", additives, flavor enhancers, using only our organic fruit from the garden, we make jams of blackcurrant, peach, mirabelle plum, strawberries, cherries, raspberries, mirabelle plum. There are also plum jam, pears in syrup and many other delicacies.
In addition to the breakfasts served by us, you can test your culinary imagination in the communal kitchen. In the garden you will find a place to prepare a fire and light a barbecue.
There is a shop in the neighborhood, and a few restaurants within 10 minutes by car, which also offer transport to our agritourism. We recommend:
- Lenartówka restaurant. Hardly anyone of the visitors knows about such a place in Rudawa. Here you can eat home-made, delicious, at very attractive prices. Pizza from the oven to lick your fingers, minced and prima sort pork chops, and dumplings as they should be.
- Paolo pizzeria, a pub that does not need to be advertised. Best pizza in the area and family atmosphere ensured.
In Zacisze, there is a place for boredom, relaxation, reading books, long walks, naps in a hammock and running barefoot. There is space for long breakfasts, evenings by the fireplace, fruit straight from the bush and small and large trips. It is worth taking bicycles and trekking shoes to Peach - the area is amazing, and nature attracts not only geologists and fruit growers.
It is a perfect place for horse lovers and cyclists. A few steps from the village you will find 2 friendly horse studs and plenty of bicycle and walking paths with postcard views of the Beskids and the Tatra Mountains.
For enthusiasts of strong sensations, we recommend rock climbing to choose from the color you choose. I have tested many of the 120 routes in the Brzoskwinka Valley myself. As if that were not enough, the neighboring valleys (Będkowska, Kobylańska or Bolechowicka) are a stone's throw away and a few minutes by car from us.
When you miss the Wawel dragon, obwarzanek, Bracka and plantami, go to Krakow. Taste bohemia in the cafe in Bunkier Sztuki, contemplate contemporary art at MOCAK and take a look at the Lady with Łasiczka. Take a walk to a round casserole in Kazimierz and watch a movie at the Pod Baranami cinema. Later, take a break from the smog in Zacisze and lie down on the grass under the canopy of the Milky Way.
Brilliant attractions, medieval secrets and rocky landscapes are at your fingertips. We recommend in the area:
- fun for young and old on a bicycle trolley in Regulice. The historic railway line No. 103 Trzebinia - Wadowice, operating here since 1899. Now it is experiencing its renaissance in the form of a trolley bicycle path. A bit of sport instead of a cake, and on the way, be sure to visit the best Czak Vineyard in Małopolska!
- An expedition following the medieval traces of the inhabitants of Tenczyn Castle. Tales of ghosts, princesses and knights, and distinguished guests of the Renaissance residence. Above the village of Rudno, on the Castle Hill, there are magnificent ruins, one of the largest in the Jura, which from the Middle Ages to the 17th century was the family nest of the Tęczyński family. Interestingly, this once magnificent castle, called Little Wawel, stands on a volcanic cone.
- Visit the Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec. Steep stairs will lead you to the oldest existing monastery in Poland, continuing the Benedictine tradition. On site, try the monastery kitchen and traditional spelled dumplings.
We direct treasure hunters to the Lipowiec Castle in Babice, the Radziwiłł Palace in Balice, the wooden church in Modlnica and the Vistula open-air museum in Wygiełzów.
What’s there for children?
From the very morning, kids still in pajamas, run out to the garden. Shoes are unnecessary, because Zacisze is a place of bare feet, raspberry-red hands straight from the bush and faces full of sour currants. Walking among the meadows, chasing butterflies, collecting pebbles and arranging bouquets of wild flowers are just the beginning. Just behind the fence, a few steps from the magical garden, you will find a horse farm full of thoroughbred horses, friendly ponies and competent staff. The kids can count on their first time in the saddle and watch the horses on the hills and pastures.
After you climb to the very top of the yard behind the house, you see a magical land that you have to capture on paper. You will find all the artistic materials on site. Take crayons and paper also on trips and play in the open air painting.
There will be no boredom. There is, however, a travel cot, toys, hammocks in the garden, a mini football field, and badminton. After a day full of attractions, there is a deep sleep and a happy baby.
What’s there for employees?
No matter if you are sitting inside the house or planning to spend the whole stay on a sun lounger in the garden, greenery will surround you everywhere. In the common area we have a large table for 18 people for meetings over morning coffee, but also for creative activities during group trips. If you do not plan to bring a group of friends, sales department or you just prefer to work alone, it is possible to divide the tables into 3 smaller ones. In the common area, we also offer 2 armchairs, a sofa and a hammock/seat at your disposal. In a large, quiet living room with a fireplace, you can conveniently conduct a video call, and colleagues sitting in the company can only grind with envy.
The rooms have a table that will be great for one person to work at.
