Rest on Sokoliny farm very much. We went with my daughter for a week, as a result we spent 14 days on the farm, we didn’t want to leave.
They lived in an authentic hut - it keeps warm at night, cool during the day. In the hut - ancient towels, paintings by folk artists, a collection of Easter eggs. There is a refrigerator and an electric kettle. Every day fresh water was brought to us from the well - the water drives salts well and is tasty in itself.
The staff is friendly, attentive.
There are houses on the farm with all conveniences - a toilet, a hot shower, but we chose a more budget option - with a summer shower - and did not regret it. The water in the shower heats up during the day - like fresh milk.

We have considerable experience in eco-tourism behind us, but perhaps nowhere else was there such delicious food as in Sokoliny Farm. We tried everything on the menu in two weeks. Most of all I liked kulish, Cossack potatoes (cooked on the stove, in a cauldron, the potatoes are baked until golden crisp, served with garlic watering, this is an old Cossack recipe 18 river), pancakes with poppy seeds and pork ribs. Fried crucians freshly caught from Smosh are something! A must try is honey wine. The strength is only 12 degrees, not cloying, and after that the head does not hurt. Delicious!
The farm has its own beach, boats and catamarans. The water in Smosh is iodine and very clean.
What we liked: for the owners, the farm is not only a business. Several huts that could be occupied by tourists have been given over to museums. There is a historical and ethnographic museum - the collection is impressive. The history of the region from Trypillia times to the present day. Folk icon, clothing, dishes, archaeological artifacts. Another museum is dedicated to the Cossacks and countrymen who fought in the Ukrainian People's Army.
I liked that the farm truly honors and revives Cossack traditions, has its own equestrian theater. You can ride horses - on your own or with an instructor.
Of the attractions nearby - Kachanivka, the Tarnovsky Palace, where Taras Shevchenko stayed three times. Walk for about 20 minutes. In Kachanovka you can order a sightseeing tour, but we still stocked up with guidebooks in Kyiv and did fine without guides.
Summary. If you are looking for relaxation not only for the body, but also for the soul, - Sokoliny Farm is just such a place.
