If you wish to experience the spirit of authentic Polish landscape and immerse yourself in an atmosphere filled with mystery and inspiration, Villa Zamek in Lanckorona is a must-visit location. This charming wooden villa, picturesquely situated on a hillside in Lanckorona, offers breathtaking views. These can be admired from the balconies of each room as well as from a large terrace and dining area. The views stretch as far as the Tatra Mountains.

The uniqueness of this place is evidenced by the fact that right after winning an Oscar, director Andrzej Wajda didn't choose a luxurious hotel for celebration. Instead, he disappeared into the distant and enchanted gardens of Villa Zamek.

The garden surrounding the villa is extraordinary, filled with mysteries and botanical curiosities. Located on a steep slope, the garden descends to one of Lanckorona's narrow streets. Described as one of the most botanically interesting gardens in Lesser Poland, it contains specimens of trees and shrubs from different parts of the world. While the garden may give an impression of wildness and neglect, it only adds to its charm and mystique. Here you will find Davidia, Metasequoia, an abundance of azaleas and rhododendrons, magnolias, and other beautiful specimens. Among them is even a unique Japanese maple in Poland that is around 100 years old.

Villa Zamek is more than just a guesthouse; it is an oasis of peace and inspiration. Over the years, it has hosted numerous personalities from the worlds of art and culture. Each room exudes warmth and originality, and the communal dining area is adorned with portraits painted by Krystyna Zachwatowicz-Wajda. The villa is a place where history meets the present, creating a unique atmosphere conducive to creativity and relaxation.
