The space The interior design reflects who we are, and from the entrance, you'll discover a wealth of elements that are a mix of rustic, boho, and industrial styles. The swing in the middle of the room. The ring that supports the swing was made by the village blacksmith, and the fabric part was hand-woven by us from jute yarn. Another original element is the Mysterious Library, where the books are placed backwards. If you want to read, pick up a book, and you're sure to find something you'll like. Our favorite corner of the house is the reading nook, built in the house's former porch, enclosed with large windows. In the middle of the house was the stove, built by a ceramic artist with local natural materials: clay, sand and brick. The stove is not only used for heating in winter, but also as a ladder. It leads you to the upper part of the house, where the sleeping area is located, with a double bed and a single bed. Part of the house's ceiling was removed, thus creating a high, open space. The kitchen also has a story, just like every room and item in the house. The table and countertops were made from wood saved from being burned. There are no kitchen cabinets, but there are crates that hide everything you need for cooking. The kitchen is equipped with a small electric hob, mini-fridge, espresso machine, cutlery, crockery and basic ingredients. From the kitchen, you can go out onto the terrace, from where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding hills and forests. Here you can have lunch or drink your coffee in the morning. In the large backyard, you will find many places to relax, swings, hammocks, and plenty of space to play. Next to the terrace, the emphasis was on the campfire and the barbecue area. The former animal stable has been converted into a colorful and cheerful creative and leisure space. All the details are related to the house and the tradition of the place. Guest access You will have full and exclusive access to the house, terrace and barn. There are also two glamping tents on the property that we do not rent separately, as they are only used as extra accommodation capacity for special events. During your stay, you will not be disturbed by other guests. Other things to note Please take into consideration that the property is suitable for a large family. Inside, there are several different areas, but the whole house is an open space, so the level of privacy is lower. Even though there are several sleeping places in the house, we recommend a maximum of 5 guests, as it would otherwise be too crowded. We provide a full cleaning service before your arrival, but please consider that you are coming to a country house. Some things will never be the same as in a hotel. By the very nature of the place, you will be more exposed to wildlife, insects, pollen, dust, and everything that comes with country living.
