Where to relax after visiting castles and chateaus?
After a tour of the sights around Lipno, finding a place where the whole family can relax is always welcome. Our comfortable apartments for families with children are the perfect base for exploring the region. Here, you’ll enjoy a large fenced garden, a kids’ playground, a saltwater pool, and a peaceful retreat for parents.
And when you’re ready for more adventures, Lipno has plenty to offer beyond the historical sights: we recommend day trips, cycling paths, a visit to the beach, or perhaps a trip full of experiences with kids. In the evening, return to our garden, where the children can keep playing while you open something cold.
Book your stay in advance to secure your preferred dates.
We look forward to seeing you!
