  : The hosts of the "Windstille" -- a little "penzion," located in a picturesque rural section of Oscadnica -- offer their guests a whole independent section of a neat, nicely maintained section of their own house, access to their garden, a comfortable parking lot, and free, fast, wifi. Each of us had a separate room with an ensuite bathroom, all clean and spacious, a kitchen and a salon equipped with two sofas, table with chairs, and a plasma TV. The lovely family are welcoming, warm, and helpful, ready to share local knowledge and to accommodate their guests special needs, should such needs arise. For those seeking peace and seclusion, or slow-life away from the bustle of large cities, the place is ideal. Over six days in Oscadnica, we were able to produce almost 1/4th of the monograph on which we were working, enjoying the mountainous landscape around. Within walking distance from the the house there is a little grocery store, and a restaurant, offering its customers wonderful service and excellent cuisine. Several mountain tracks begin in the vicinity of the "Windstille," which might be of interest to naturalists and hikers. A larger Coop supermarket and several ski-lifts are located within a short drive. In short, if your needs are as unassuming as ours, if you do not need jacuzzis, swimming pools, bars, or meals served by the hosts, the "Windstille" will be an ideal place for an extended stay, and a good base for excursions.
  : It is important to know that in order to enter the guest part of the house, you need to climb a flight of stairs: guests with motoric disabilities (e.g. wheelchairs) might consider other options.

  : Nice big space if you have the entire apartment to yourself, there's also a garden with playhouse if the weather is OK. Very welcoming and accommodating host family. Each bedroom has a bathroom. Some staples provided in the kitchen, which was reasonably well equipped.
  : Not super easy to get to, you need to drive across a couple of very narrow and slightly worrying bridges. The beds and couches are all very old, noisy and uncomfortable, to the point where moving in your sleep made enough noise from the springs to wake you up. The apartment is also attached to the main family home via a door in the kitchen and you can hear all their comings and goings and conversations, from when the kids wake up around 0600. Also felt bad for the poor dog that spends all day in a bare, filthy pen with apparently little to no interaction with the family. The heating also seems to only be on for a couple of hours per day.
