Zakopane St. Stanislaw Guest House

Description from the owner

Zakopane located at the foot of the Tatra Mountains is the Aspen of Eastern Europe with a newly rebuilt ski lift raising skiers by large gondolas some 6000 vertical feet to the lodge atop Mt. Kasprowy. Runs are intermediate to expert. Beginner slopes are at nearby Nosal which also has a high, very steep professional run. Other smaller and lower lifts are within a few miles. Picture town of Zakopane is basically a single main walking street filled with shops of all kinds, numerous excellent restaurants serving grilled and other Polish foods. There are several large hotels, unlimited pensions and B&Bs.; Within 20 minutes drive is a new, modern... hot springs spa with 3 different large pools (1 outdoors). It includes showers, private lockers, hot tubs, slides, several kinds of jets, a very nice bar and restaurant. There are a couple of nice golf courses- one near Krakow and one in Slovakia on the southern side of the Tatras (about a 1 hour drive). great location next to Tatra National Park and its walking trails, ski complex at Nosal, and all tourist traction.

St. Stanislaw, a small pension, recently renovated from an old, historic nun’s residence visited by Pope John. It is typical mountain style with steeply pitched roof, stone and heavy wood exterior. Furnishings are simple, attractive, locally made beds, chairs and tables. There are about 15 rooms with bath and shower accommodating singles, double and families, an adequately stocked kitchen, game room with stone fireplace. The view from most rooms is lovely- acres and acres of grass leading to the forest. In the summer, sheep herded by very clever sheep dogs and guided by their shepherd, graze slowly from one end to the other. In winter, deer come down from the mountains, thru the snow-covered spruce forest down to the water across the road. There are in Zakopane year round attractions, events, festivals, international ski jumping competitions, art exhibits, historic places, museums. Quaint and interesting towns and villages, castle, river rafting and other endless attractions.Read more

  Zakopane- A must place to visit

  Zakopane is a beatiful, vibrant, booming small town at the base of the Tatra mountains and is the ski capital of eastern Europe. We stayed in a 100 year old renovated nun's residence.Wonderful hiking trails thru the valleys with clear, refreshing air. The town has numerous very good restaurants, bars & nightclubs. It's a 2 hour easy bus ride to historic Krakow. All in all, it was a healthy, relaxing & educational vacation.

We were very happy with service our room and warm treatment by Owner, although the weather was bed, rain and cold. We rented this same appartment again for vacation, but this time in august.

  I had a great time in Zakopane, Poland!

  Left on 05/29/2010 for a stay in July 2009
  
  

  Stayed 5 nights at this very conveniently located and quiet "St. Stanislaw Guest House". Appreciated the room which was bright and clean. There was a kitchen and a wireless internet. The shop around the corner has everything I needed for a delicious polish breakfast. Nice restaurants and bars were close, in the walking distance. I would love to go there again and I strongly recommend this place!
  As a solo traveler I enjoyed a B&B; next door where the host lives and where I could meet other guests. The host, his name is Greg, was there when I arrived and he gave me the keys, and he arranged an early taxi pickup for me on my departure day. He was very helpful. Zakopane is a lovely, unique town, very attractive all year around. "St. Stanislaw Guest House" sits next to the borders of the Tatra National Park. What else would I need for my vacations... I had a great time!
