My friends and me spent a - luckily sunny! - November weekend at Ranczo. It is only a 40-50 min drive from Cracow, but it takes you to a fully different world of hills, woods and little villages. Magda, the charming owner, speaks fluent English, is very communicative and flexible. The house, which can accommodate up to 14 people, is freshly renovated and fully equipped (dishes, tea, coffee, spice, hammocks, garden chairs, towels, board games, blankets, grill, but also hi-fi, wi-fi, a dishwasher and a washing machine - whatever you think of). Ladies especially appreciated the extra toilet, which is outside of the main bathroom :) The house is surrounded by an apple tree orchard, from where you get a beautiful panoramic view over the neighborhood. A perfect place for a weekend retreat but also for a longer stay in a larger group! You should take some supplies with you though, as shopping options are not quite around the corner :)

As it was November, we sadly couldn’t take advantage of the outdoor facilities, like the porch, the fire place or the pool. And there were no apples left for us in the orchard either :) next time!
