There are three rooms available for guests at the lodge in Soltysy: Jamka, Norka and Dziupla. In each of them you can take refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city, forget about the daily rush and sink into the linen bedding. Tired guests will be soothed by the silence, tranquility, and the view of the centuries-old oak tree standing right under the house.
Basia Hyjek: How did your adventure begin?
Anna Jasinska: We had been thinking about agritourism, or more like a guest house - a place where kindred souls would come to visit us and each other, for 20 years already. However, a completely different job caught up with us, milled around, burned out, as it usually does, but gave us new experiences. We returned to the old idea, found a suitable place - an old forester's lodge with a large aged oak tree in the middle, renovated it and began to receive guests. From the beginning, we focused on a narrow circle of sensitive people, who in peace and quiet will want to rest from the excess of stimuli, urban hustle and bustle. And often to meet like-minded people.

Basia: What were the most difficult moments of creating this place?
Anna: I don't remember difficult moments, the renovation was not easy, but we had the help of family, previous owners and a vision of idyll in a moment. In fact, the idyll continues!
Basia: What was particularly important to you in creating this place?
Anna: The most important thing in creating this place was to profile it - so that random people don't come to us. We don't have any advertising, we don't advertise anywhere, we don't even do voucher stays. We want people to come to us who have chosen us themselves, such people feel best here. The important thing for us is that there is a friendly, cozy atmosphere, we have only 6 beds, so the intimacy is conducive to that.
we wanted to create a place where people similar to ourselves would meet, and these meetings have resulted in friendships from the beginning

We wanted to create a place where like-minded people meet and these meetings have resulted in friendships from the beginning - between the guests themselves and between us and the guests as well. We arrange joint trips to other agritourisms, and guests often book further stays with us in the same group where they met here. On the edge of time we live in a social bubble, we think the world is good and filled with nice people. And let it stay that way.
Basia: Where did you get the idea for such interior design?
Anna: The decor of our interiors is a kind of eclecticism, a combination of what we like, and we like very different styles - from Scandinavian minimalism, through cozy boho elements to psychedelic ditsy popping out of a corner suddenly. Retromodern, vintage and modernrustic also come through.
true freedom. A scarce commodity. Just like true silence and darkness. All of these are for rent with us. Silence and tranquility

Basia: How do you want your guests to feel here?
Anna: We would like our guests to truly relax and not have to do anything. In my opinion, this is the greatest comfort in life - to not have to do anything. True freedom. A scarce commodity. So is true silence and darkness. All this at our place for rent. Silence and tranquility.
