Which of the two houses suits you?
We have two holiday houses near Varakļāni. The houses stand a few hundred metres apart - far enough that neither disturbs the other. They are completely different - here is an honest comparison, including where the other one is the better choice.
| What | Brīvdienu māja «Odumiņi» | Dabas studija «Teiči» |
|---|---|---|
| Type of house | Log house, 70 m² over two floors | A-Frame cabin, 70 m² with glazed gable ends |
| Included in the nightly rate | Premium hot tub in a glazed orangery (24 m²), open all year | Outdoor spa hot tub (37–39 °C), open all year |
| Sauna (optional, up to 3 h) | Wood-fired sauna — 50 € | Sauna with a designer Huum stove — 70 € |
| Grounds | 2 ha of grounds, a BBQ gazebo and a 15 m² terrace | 1.5 ha, a pond and an 18 m² terrace facing the Teiči reserve |
| With children | Playground with swings, a slide and a sandbox | No playground — the cabin suits a getaway for two better |
| Max guests | 4 | 4 |
| Check-out | 11:00 | 12:00 |
| Nightly rate for two | 160–180 € | 170–190 € |
Rates are per night for two guests; they can differ on public holidays. Both houses have the same owners. The houses stand a few hundred metres apart - far enough that neither disturbs the other.
