is no place for casual outfits and casual furniture.
We want our guests feel like at home, so everything
must be worked out to the smallest detail.
Our interiors give a sense of comfort,
privacy and total security.

Why are we called Scharffenberg and why the walls
in our apartments are decorated with "literary" patterns? Centuries ago in our tenement house the royal printing house of Mikołaj Scharffenberg was located. The first Polish version of the Holy Bible was made in here!
Get to know the story of this place.

Our interiors are spacious, lofty and quiet, likewise
all the other Cracovian tenement houses. The walls are decorated with golden-framed mirrors. Solid window-frames, classical furniture and offbeat wallpapers,
created with photos of prewar newspaper annuals.
We'd like you to feel this vibe.

Krakow was always the capital of fiacres. The city formally received this title as the first in the world in 1998. Only
150 meters separates the Scharffenberg Apartments
and droshkies (horse-drawn carriage), pulled by two horses with richly ornamented tack, decorated with lanterns, led by fancifully dressed flyman. 

Wawel castle, situated on a hill in the bend of the Vistula river, class zero monument, official residence and headquarter of historical reigning royal dynasties. One
of the most beautiful Polish monuments, the majestic castle is attracting crowds of tourists. At the bottom of the hill awaits a mythical fire-breathing dragon!

The Jagiellonian University is the oldest university in Poland and one of the oldest in the world. Most influantial Polish authors like Kochanowski and Rej were studying here, it's a place where Copernican theory has been taught and a legendary Nawojka was studying in the 15th century,
the first Polish female student and teacher.

In the evning Krakow Main Market Square turns into
a playground for lights and shadows. Any imperfection disappears and what remains is the magic of walking among the café tables, accompanimental murmur
of fountains and a game of colors altering the old
walls surrounding the main square.

Vistula river crosses Cracow, curving from the Monastery
in Tyniec, by Salwator and the bottom of Wawel hill, flowing across Poland, to the Baltic Sea. In the past it was a part
of the Amber Road. Every time different, in winter frozen, hugging swans. In the summer full of barges with cafes. Always beautiful in the light of the sunset.

Day of Joy in Zabierzów near Krakow - full of colors,
crowd flinging bags of powder rainbow, fun for children, teenagers and adults. No matter how old you are and what music you listen to, it's important that you can laugh,
you get energy from fun and love colors! The festival
is open to all and completely free.

Planty, urban garden, girdling the center of Cracow
with a green circle, created in 1820 at the site
of the demolished city walls. Aged oaks, chestnuts,
maples and beeches, secluded alleys of the old
greenness statues, colorful flowers... the perfect
place for the relax in the city!

The florists have their stalls on the Main Market Square since forever. They are fully aware, that every woman dreams about a huge bunch of red roses or a bouquet
of odorous lilies of valley, especially when given right away in romantic engagement spot - by the monument
of Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz.
