**Apartment "V Kovárně" – A Place with the Soul of Old Krumlov** Our accommodation is set in a historic house with a rich past – this was once the place where horses were shoed by the local blacksmith. The atmosphere is truly unique: stone walls, forged iron details, and carefully chosen decorations that honour the craftsmanship of the past. The interior is styled in warm tones, blending historical character with modern comfort. You'll find thoughtful touches throughout – hand-picked decor, natural scented textiles, and a personal approach that will make you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you arrive. Here, you’ll experience more than just a stay – it’s a gentle step back in time, in a peaceful corner of the old town where history comes to life.

Hello and welcome! My name is Piotrek Kowalski, and I’ll be your host during your stay in Český Krumlov. What I enjoy most about hosting is creating spaces where guests can truly relax and feel at home – and where history meets comfort. Outside of hospitality, I have a deep passion for horses. I spend much of my free time working with my horse Armando, enjoying the peace of the countryside and the connection that comes from caring for these incredible animals. I also love traditional crafts, especially working with natural materials like linen and amber – a passion that shows in the details of the apartments I’ve created for you. Looking forward to meeting you and making your stay special!

Some words about the place..... 🏰 1. A Step into History – The Charm of Old Krumlov Guests often fall in love with the authentic atmosphere of Český Krumlov’s historic centre. Apartment "V Kovárně" is located just a few steps from the town’s main landmarks – yet in a quiet street away from the busy flow of tourists. Within walking distance you’ll find the State Castle and Chateau, the iconic Cloak Bridge, castle gardens, and the Revolving Theatre. Every stroll through the old town feels like a step back in time, with cobbled streets, stone houses, artisan shops, and hidden courtyards full of character. ☕ 2. A Lively Neighbourhood Full of Flavour and Art Guests appreciate the vibrant mix of cafés, restaurants, and galleries just around the corner. Whether you’re looking for specialty coffee, handmade desserts, or creative Czech cuisine, you’ll find it here. We recommend Kolektiv Café, the cosy Monastery Garden Bistro, or the stylish Papa’s Living Restaurant with a lovely river view. Art lovers will enjoy the Egon Schiele Art Centrum, the historic Seidel Photo Studio Museum, or the Regional Museum, which often hosts seasonal exhibitions. 🌲 3. When You Feel Like Exploring Outside the Town Český Krumlov is not only beautiful in itself – it’s also the perfect starting point for nature trips and countryside adventures. Many guests take a trip to the Kleť lookout tower, which can be reached on foot, by bike, or by chairlift. Other popular day trips include the Zlatá Koruna Monastery, Blanský Forest nature park, or Lake Lipno, where you can walk the treetop trail, enjoy a boat cruise, or ski in winter. For a taste of rural heritage, don’t miss Holašovice, a UNESCO-listed village with fairytale charm.
