An apartment in Giżycko or a house by the lake?

Both make sense, they just give you a different holiday. Before you book, see which one suits you better.

Apartment in town

Giżycko town centre

  • The harbours on Lake Niegocin, the Harbour Promenade, the town beach and the Łuczański Canal within walking distance
  • Boat cruises and water sports hire right in town
  • In summer, especially in mid-season, the town and its harbours are busy
  • A convenient choice if you plan several days on the water from Giżycko harbour

Krzywe Lake Houses

A house on Lake Krzywe

  • A whole 130 m² house: four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a living room with a kitchenette
  • The lake shore 10 m from the terrace, the beach with a jetty 20 m from the houses
  • Lake Krzywe is a quiet zone with no combustion engines
  • About 55 minutes by car to Giżycko, 30 minutes to Mikołajki

To be honest: Giżycko is almost an hour's drive from our houses. If you want to set sail from Giżycko harbour every day, a place in Giżycko itself will be more convenient. If Giżycko is a day trip for you and you want to spend the rest of your holiday in peace by the water, a house on Lake Krzywe gives you more quiet and room for the whole family, with Mikołajki and Mrągowo closer by.

Modern and Loft · two houses side by side

Two houses rented whole

Modern and Loft share the same layout, size and equipment, and differ in the feel of their interiors. You book the whole house, not a room or a floor, and the price does not depend on the number of guests.

Both houses together · up to 20 guests

A larger group? Take both houses

The houses stand side by side. Each has its own bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and living room, while the garden, shore and fire pit are shared. A good fit for two families or a group of friends.
