| Kaliste is a small village in the central south of the Czech Republic, just under the highest peak of the Bohemia-Moravia highlands, Javorice.(837m) The village has a local shop for all necessities, and a pub. Nearest small town is Pocatky (5km west) for shops, bank/cash machine, clinic, restaurants etc, even a delightful museum. Jihlava (25 mins by car NE) is the main district town, with all amenities, including 24 hour TESCO hypermarket, zoo, aquapark, hospital etc.
The house is adjacent to a 40 sq km protected forest, off-limits to cars, which offers hiking and biking trails, blueberries to pick, castle ruins and rock formations to explore. There is a lovely natural lake to swim in 5 mins by car to the north, set among fields just before Nova Ves. Within 30 mins drive are romantic Rostejn castle, Telc, Jindrichuv Hradec towns and chateaux as well as Cervena Lhota chateau, and many other historic towns and castles slightly further afield. The whole area is perfect for an envigorating rest 'far from the madding crowd'. |

| Welcome Pack: On arrival we provide 'starter pack' of soap, toilet paper, dish washing liquid, bin bags, and basic information about the house, the heating etc. We have some guidebooks, maps and ideas of what to do locally as well, plus a suggested one day trip to see the main features of Prague (2hrs by car). If you need any shopping bought, to be in the house when you arrive, that can be arranged, but a cup of tea/coffee and biscuits are of course 'on the house' for weary travellers. |
Guestbook: "We have had an excellent stay and found everything that we have needed. The whole area has been wonderful to visit..."
"We had a very enjoyable time...We did all our cooking on the wood stove, baked bread, plum crumble etc... walked, swam, explored, and above all enjoyed the quiet for reading and writing."
"...I really enjoyed the quiet nights and quiet roads, the countryside of rolling green fields and pine forests, visiting Telc and Cesky Krumlov, seeing nuthatches, blackcaps, black + ordinary redstarts from the kitchen window, and a green woodpecker..."
"We enjoyed eating out at such reasonable prices..."
"We've had a wonderful holiday. The house was great. Thank you for all your help and guidance, which we have used to the full."
"Thank you. It's been wonderful." |
