Fantastic place. The view of our beautiful Low Tatras is fabulous from here. Cabbage soup was like my mother’s. The staff is nice and helpful. Above all, relax and draw energy from nature while sitting in front of the cottage.

Those who haven’t been to Štefánička can regret it. The most beautiful environment, kind staff, wide range of tasty and hearty meals. Breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. A place you will fall in love with.
