A nice house in the suburbs of Katowice just by the forest
We offer a terraced house with a living room, 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It is located on the edge of the city of Katowice, Silesia district, Poland. We have 2 small gardens – one behind our house and another on the roof of our garage. Our housing estate borders a forest, where you could walk and, if you are lucky, see boars, deer and foxes. The area is children friendly. Except the forest there is a playground nearby. There are a small grocery about 500m from our house and 2 supermarkets a little bit farther.
We could leave you a car, so you might be able to go sightseeing. About 70km from Katowice there are a few interesting places: Kraków, the former Polish capital with the Wawel Royal Castle and ancient city center, Częstochowa with famous St. Mary church and Beskid Mountains. You can also visit Wrocław (2h by car) and Warszawa, capital of Poland (3h by car) - both are very interesting cities.
There are many facilities for children (aquapark, zoo, amusement park) not far from our house (20 minutes by car).

ES1509Encantadora la recepcion a nuestra llegada por el hijo mayor de la familia. Florido y ponderado jardin que disfrutamos.Si bien no se ofertaba television en el anuncio de la casa, echamos de menos una solucion alternativa en sus inmediaciones. España y la Eurocopa. El coche en orden y la casa acogedora. Mejor con WIFI.
