Baltin Krogs
Located in the peaceful town of Baltini, just a few kilometers from Ilukstes Novads in the picturesque southeast of Latvia, this house offers a unique getaway amidst the "Dvietes paliene" natural park. Surrounded by nearly 5000 hectares of pristine natural landscapes created in 2004, it provides a perfect setting for those seeking peace and reconnection with nature. The property, set on two hectares of land, features lush trees and a pond where fishing is an activity at no additional cost.
The charm of this house is revealed in its careful restoration, which has preserved its distinctive character. Spread over two floors of about 100m² each, it is prepared to accommodate four guests. The residence combines rustic elements with practical touches to offer a comfortable stay. A noteworthy feature is the steam sauna, located in a separate building. Staying here means enjoying amenities such as a functional kitchen and spaces that invite gathering by the warmth of the fireplace, complemented by 19th-century period furniture. The house also benefits from a dual heating system, through fireplace or electric heaters, ideal for colder nights.
The location of the house is an ideal starting point for exploring the rich nature surrounding the area, with its access to numerous lakes and proximity to the Daugava river. Outdoor activities range from hiking and mushroom picking to fishing and photography in the lush local forests. Though the house proposes a retreat without modern distractions such as telephone or television, the nearby city of Daugavpils, the second most important in Lithuania and located 30 kilometers away, offers cultural and leisure options to complement the experience of tranquility and connection with nature.
