We welcome you. Anna and Lech Marczak. |
Estate Giże is situated in the village of Giże, 6.4 km from
the town of
Olecko, in the hilly
part of the Mazury region. It is a beautiful post-glacial area, which
includes a vast amount of lakes and hilly countryside. Nearby sits the
deepest lake in Poland, called Hańcza, having a depth of over 108 metres!
The tallest hills are Szeska Góra to the north of Olecko, Piękna Góra near
Gołdap and Cisowa Góra in the Suwałki National Park.
Our estate takes up an area of 20.81 hectares. The farmland is used for
growing wheat, vegetables, fruit trees and hazelnuts. The farm itself is run
by ecological methods and has a certificate of ecological farm work received
in 1999. In an area of about 1.23 hectares there is a fruit orchard,
hazelnut grove and a raspberry plot. A conifer forest takes up part of this
area. |
|
|
A big attraction is the lake. You can bathe in it,
sail by boat or kayak, fish and be amazed by the wonderful reeds
surrounding the lake. |
|
On the estate you will find two new spacious buildings devoted
to the accommodation of our guests with cosily equipped rooms and apartments. |
There is also the chimney hall, which is an ideal
place for social gatherings, conferences especially in the
wintertime. |
|
|
Our houses characterise the old style and elements
of architecture particular to the Mazury region, for example:
jerking head roofs covered in original red tiles from the beginning
of the 20th Century, ornamental windows and clinker bricks set into
the house façade. |
An ecological material called ecofibre, produced in Poland, is used to heat
the houses. This type of heating is commonly used in Scandinavian buildings.
The houses are equipped with Vigas log fired central heating boilers. Log
fires are burnt at a high temperature and release a pleasant fragrance of
timber.
|
The estate is equipped with its own thick-reed ecological sewer
system of an area of 350 m2 . |
A huge attraction, particularly in wintertime, is
the sauna situated on the edge of the lake. |
|
|
A fence surrounds the whole estate. The driveway
onto the courtyard from the country lane has an entrance gate in
manor style. On the approach there is a retaining wall made of
country square fieldstone, which is characteristic of the Mazurian
landscape. Further, there are footpaths for walks and the enjoyment
of nature. On hot summer days one can sunbathe on the small pier and
in winter warm up at the fireplace in the beach house.
|
Children here are in paradise. They can use the big
play area with lots of recreational amenities. There is a holiday
school with benches and blackboard, a ping-pong table, table
football, outdoor chess, netball and badminton court, bikes,
tricycles and a giant trampoline! |
|
 |
We serve excellent regional dishes for our guests.
Many of them are prepared from organic products of a high
nutritional value. |
Our estate has received great recognition. The prizes we have won in
countrywide competitions prove this: Green Summer and Gold Perch – First
Prize in Poland for the best and most beautiful eco-tourist farm. |
|
We whole-heartedly welcome you to our family estate, either in organised
groups or as individual guests. Everyone here will experience peace, silence
and the beauty of undisturbed nature, our friendliness and also will have
the chance to see one of the most beautiful parts of Poland – Mazury.
Anna and Lech Marczak and their children warmly welcome you.
