The breakfasts were delicious, and our room was clean and neat. The hostess was so friendly and sweet. My wife and I came for a weekend after a friend recommended the place, hoping to get away from the city, and it was just right. The farmstead sits in the forest, with the Neman nearby. We spent ages walking along the riverbanks, listening to birds and watching storks in the lovely scenery. It was especially peaceful because it was just us and the hosts. We’d happily recommend it.

Evgeniya, who owns the farm, was so caring that I’d love to return. The place itself has a real history and character, yet feels cozy and comfortable. With forest all around and the Neman right there, it felt like stepping into a Yakov Kolos novel. I found myself slowing down, with no urge to rush anywhere. It was incredibly peaceful, a perfect spot to switch off from the outside world.

The Neman was only about 300 meters away, and there were forests and mushrooms nearby. The high bank, a favorite tourist spot, was less than two kilometers away. Our rooms were spacious, with amenities you don’t always get at agritourism farms, and could fit as many as six families. There were barbecues, a sauna, and a kitchen. The hosts were welcoming and did their best to accommodate us. Everything was wonderful.

The Neman is close by, and the air feels easy to breathe. The estate grounds are beautifully kept, with flora and fauna blending together. The food was excellent, too. Our host was a welcoming woman, and the owner was such a kind person, unlike anyone I’ve met. I recommend it.
