Nostalgia for last year's vacation

Written: 16 november 2009
Travel time: 28 december 2008 — 4 january 2009
Who does the author recommend the hotel to?: For recreation with friends, for young people
In principle, the memories of last year's New Year's holiday are GREAT! But rather - "DESPITE" and not "BECAUSE":
1. Despite the fact that we were not expected at the Villa "WISIENKA 2" - WE STILL LIVED IN IT!
We are 2 married couples from Donetsk, who, in principle, can afford to stay in 4 * European hotels, but all our friends vied with each other to praise the local villas, cottages, they say, local flavor, wooden houses in the Goral style, etc. Moreover, the DeTour agency showed colorful photographs of our villa, and we, after a break in the Internet, nevertheless found photographs, it seems, of the second Cherry.
Believe me, our arrival in Zakopane is worth writing about in detail. So, the bus brought us to Zakopane at about 6 am - at first we were all overjoyed that we almost did not stand at customs, and we have a whole day ahead of us.

We knew that there would be no transfer to the villa, and almost immediately agreed with the local minibus driver that he would take us to the place. It turned out that in addition to us, 2 young couples were going there, in my opinion, from Kharkov (I don’t remember exactly) with two very small children. We all loaded into the car and pretty quickly arrived at Bronislawa Czecha Street (seemingly so). It turned out that we were not expected! And in general! All the doors were closed, everything was littered with snow, the house was not wooden at all, but stone, although beautiful ...I understand that check-in is from 12 o'clock, so it is customary, etc. etc. But (! ), as they say , there is a nuance - it was somewhere minus 19-20 on the street, and to say that we were cold - to say nothing at all: -( We started calling the travel agency, (for our husbands, roaming allows) - we barely got through (Sunday, 6 am ), and we were sent to the villa Wisienka 1. The driver seemed to be understanding - he was lucky, since Zakopane is small, and we didn’t drive very far.
And we saw exactly the house that in the pictures on the Internet and in the agency was given to us as supposedly “Wisienka 2” - wooden, colorful, etc. But, they didn’t expect us there either, everything was closed - although it was visible in this villa that people live. I’m omitting all the juicy details of our conversation with the Lviv tour operator, I think you can guess ...: -) We returned to Bronislawa Czecha and about eleven minutes later, “dear Pan” Marek arrived (who was very praised in one of the reviews). The uncle, in principle, turned out to be a normal cunning Pole. It turned out that we were the first who came to this cottage - it was just completed and, as it turned out, the buffet-dining room was not yet ready. In the end, we stayed, and the guys with small children left to look for more comfortable conditions.
2. DESPITE THAT THE COTTAGE IS NOT COMPLETELY READY TO RECEIVE GUESTS YET, WE ALMOST LIKED IT : -)
Everything about the rooms is good. Yes, they are small, I think somewhere around 13-14 square meters. m. But!
Everything is absolutely new and of good quality - both furniture and plumbing. The room is warm. The water was hot, once it was turned off - because of the severe frost, something happened there, but Pan Marek was called and by the evening there was water. I think that with what scandal we entered, it made an indelible impression on the pan and he tried his best. Once the light went out - but they also quickly fixed everything.

Objectively speaking, of the significant disadvantages, only that we had breakfast in a nearby colorful tavern - there were literally 10 steps to it, but they had to be taken in the morning frost, and in the tavern in the morning it was cold. Breakfasts, of course, it sucked - everything is quite modest, we still laugh, remembering the hostess’ phrase “Is it not enough for Pan? ” in response to our question - “Where is another serving? ". : -) But, to be honest, we ate enough - and our peasants had enough to hold out until dinner. And this is the main thing...
3.
DESPITE THE THAT THE TOUR PRICE INCLUDED ONLY BREAKFAST – WE GOT GREAT PLEASURE FROM POLISH CUISINE!
Yes…. This, of course, is a special song and I can sing it for a very long time. Therefore, I will only say the main thing - have lunch and dinner in local taverns and restaurants - you will not regret the money spent on this! Mushroom soups (! ), local goulash, dumplings, trout…. Yes, hot wine! Well, in between skiing, of course, a sacred thing - sausages or meat with the same mulled wine.
4. DESPITE THAT NOBODY HAS BEEN SKIING BEFORE, EVERYONE HAD GREAT PLEASURE!
Although, I confess, out of all our cheerful company, I was the one who skated the worst in the end, but HONESTLY - I got no less pleasure from it. Where we rode, how much and how - I will not describe either - it's time to wrap up.

Conclusion - nostalgia tortured, we will definitely go again and advise you!
