The House

Comfort steeped in tradition.

Every room of Etno Izba bears the trace of the hands that made it — solid wood, stone, a tiled stove and wooden ceiling beams that give the house its character.

Kitchen and dining area

The heart of the house, where the day begins slowly.

Stone walls, hand-crafted wood and a long dining table with a bench make room for shared breakfasts and long evenings. The kitchen is equipped for preparing your own meals.

Bedrooms

Two bedrooms, soft light and silence.

Two bedrooms with three beds, antique wooden furniture and olive-green curtains. Beneath the beams of the wooden ceiling, nights feel longer and mornings calmer.

Bathroom

Wood, stone and modern simplicity.

The bathroom combines the warmth of wooden panelling and a rustic washbasin with a modern glass-walled shower — traditional character without sacrificing comfort.
