Trzy Jaskółki na SiarceKiczory,  129

The agro-tourist farm called “Trzy jaskółki na Siarce” (“Three Swallows on Siarka”), belonging to Janusz and Stanislava Warzeszaks, is located just below the Babia Góra Mountains on Orava, in the village Kiczory (from the territory of whole Poland, the direction is towards the border crossing in Chyżne). The house is located far from the road traffic, upon a small and safe brook, surrounded by the forest. This makes that the place is unique, lovely and simply fabulous, where there govern silence and peace, climate of a genuine, Polish, mountain, neat village.
We offer our guests 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-bed rooms with bath-rooms, access to an individual kitchen and dining-room (with TV). The farm is of an ecological type, and its products, particularly dairy products (cottage cheese – revelation; milk, eggs), are used in guest feeding.
The hosts are a young couple; they have been receiving guests for several years. The host is a teacher, his wife is a skilled cook (she specialises in a simple but still a very tasteful village cooking; she also takes care of impeccable tidiness at home). Guests say our style is able to create a magnificent climate of a truly family atmosphere, kindliness and hospitality – that is why they readily return to us, even several times, also together with their friends.
The offer is addressed to all those who likes silence and peace, especially to families with children. It is also addressed to one-class spring and winter field schools. Owing to the location of the house upon the brook and close to the forest, and to an unrestricted area around the house, and owing to the possibility to come into contact with the household animals, this place is an interesting area for games and rest for children.
The farm was assigned with a category in 2003 by the Polish Federation of Rural Tourism, it has been recommended by this organisation and is a member of the Association of Galician Hospitable Farms.
