About

Willa Pod Wierchami

Willa Pod Wierchami sits in a quiet part of Zakopane, about a 25-minute walk from Polana Szymoszkowa Ski Resort and roughly 3 km from the Gubałówka cable car. The guesthouse is set back from the commercial centre, offering views of the Tatra foothills and neighbouring villas from many rooms.

The property keeps a traditional Zakopane style with wood panelling, a fireplace, and a sun terrace. There's a restaurant serving homemade dishes, a bar, BBQ facilities, and a leisure room. Ski storage, luggage storage, and a paid airport shuttle round out the practical side.

“The staff were friendly and welcoming. I had a great stay in winter and appreciated the free wake-up calls. The room was authentic and bright, with central heating, an iron and ironing board, and a TV. It had a lovely garden view. Everything was very good and met all my needs. I highly recommend it.”

9Verified guest

“Comfortable stay during winter. The staff were all amiable. The room was authentic with a private bathroom and a nice view, for example. We could see the snowy hills and other villas. The location was marvellous, about 2 miles from Adventure.”

“We had a good stay in Zakopane, just next door to a shop, in a quiet area about 15 minutes by bus from Zakopane centre. Jan did everything for all of us. It was particularly good for being dog-friendly in the mountains.”

9Verified guest

“I had a wonderful stay at this guesthouse! The breakfast was delicious, and the owners were very accommodating, even serving it early for me as I had to leave for a hike. The Wi-Fi was reliable, allowing me to work and attend meetings without issues. The shower had hot water, and the location was great—a bit outside town but closer to the mountains. If you don't have a car, keep in mind it takes about 50 minutes to walk to the town centre and buses run every hour. A cute and cosy place with friendly and helpful staff. Cons: Hard to think of anything.”
