About
Praktyka

Praktyka is a slowly evolving art project, the brainchild of artists Ania & Henry in collaboration with architect Niall Maxwell, from Rural Office architects. 

Designed with heart and soul, each space is unique and considered with private gardens, hammocks and hand picked furniture. 

We provide accommodation and run creative workshops with Ania Jewellery.

Time away is precious. Let us be your local guide to discover secret wild beaches away from the crowds, who serves the best coffee and visits to local artist studios. 

“We have as a family fallen head of heels in love with this place and will keep coming back!”

Luke, 2021
