Location
Jelenia Gora (Deer Mountain), Sosnowka, Myslakowice, Kowary, Lomnica, Staniszow, Szklarska Poreba and Karpacz are all jewels of the Karkonoze mountain region. In the heart of this area not far from the road connecting Jelenia Gora and Karpacz is our guest house, the Villa Nova.
The house is situated on a wooded hillside on the edge of the forest. It has splendid views of the surrounding hills, meadows and fields, and our guest rooms look out onto the picturesque Kaczawa mountains. On one side lies Szrenica mountain, on the other Sniezka mountain, and in between lies the majestic mountain chain of the Karkonoze, offering excellent terrain for both walking and cycling (bikes are available for guests to rent).
