Šwiecie farm stay, Poland

Stayed for 3 nights at an “Agroturistyka” accomodation which is basically a farm stay. Lovely family and Ve got to play with the little girl Julia, not to mention their pet dog. Amazing homecooked Polish food, which we’ll definitely have to try to recreate back in Oz.

Also met another great couple who were staying a the same place while renovating their house near by. Amazing houses round here (in what used to be called the Sudetenland i think) which are all massive, old, german things with arches in the barn and cool stonework. They took us to visit some friends who had also renovated their house into this amazing, cozy little house furnished and decorated with all sorts of recycled bits and pieces and lots of art since the owner is an artist!

They also kindly gave us a lift back to Jelenia Gora the following day so we only had one bus to catch which was such a relief :)

Hi,

I've just got your website address from Gabriel and Deirdre (I'm working with them at the moment).

I'm originally from Poland (in Perth since September last year) so it's very nice to read the blog about Aussies visiting my country! I'm glad you liked the food and that people were nice to you :-) Any plans to visit other places in Poland? I can give you few tips if you want ;-)

All the best for the rest of your journey!
