What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This residential-style getaway has a prime location in Zakopane with views of the Tatra Mountains.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The meadows of Gorna Rownia Krupowa sit right outside, and Krupowki Street is five minutes away on foot.
The rooms
Apartments have private kitchenettes, and wide picture windows look straight out toward Mount Giewont.
The saunas
The Finnish dry sauna looks through full-height glass onto the snow, and an infrared cabin sits beside it.
The spa
An indoor graduation tower trickles saltwater over dark brushwood, and treatment rooms host Japanese Kobido massages by appointment.
How it began
The villa was once the workshop of carpenter Jan Czarniak, whose original wood planer is built into the front desk.
