First Minute Christmas in the mountains – why Guests book already in summer

August.

High summer, sun, terrace breakfasts, kids running in the garden.

And then, between one day and the next, someone comes and asks:

"Do you have availability for the

It surprises me a bit each time.

After all, December is still far away.

But not for everyone.

Some know right away — holidays must be booked early.

My regular Guests no longer ask if it’s

They ask:
"When should we book?"

Because they know what Christmas in Kościelisko is

And they know there aren’t many spots.

Christmas in Kościelisko is not a “package.”

Christmas in Zakopane often looks similar:

• big hotel
• many people
• set schedules

Here it’s different.

At Willa Izydor, Christmas feels more like home than an offer.

What is it really like?

Preparations start early.

Janusz works in the garage — sometimes wooden Christmas trees, other things later brought to the villa.

I’m in the kitchen.

The scent of Christmas slowly begins.

Home-style Christmas in the mountains

We don’t do anything “for show.”

We do it like at home.

Christmas Eve with silence

This is the moment Guests remember most.

There’s no rush.

There’s no noise.

There is:

• a shared table
• traditional food
• conversations

And something that can’t quite be

Band and costumes — but no exaggeration

A highlander band plays for us at

We dress in traditional costumes.

But it’s not a performance.

It’s part of this place.

Natural.

Why book Christmas in the summer?

Because we only have a few rooms.

And many Guests return.

Often our “chain” works:

• someone was here
• recommended us to friends
• someone returns every year

And suddenly, there are fewer and fewer spots.

As an owner, I see one thing

Holidays are very important times.

And more people don’t want to spend them:

• in a crowd
• in noise
• in a rush

But calmly.

Why do holiday guests choose Kościelisko over Zakopane

Because here:

• there is quiet
• there are mountains outside the window
• there are no crowds

And Christmas… begins to make sense.

That’s why someone asks in August.

Because it’s not a last-minute decision.

The decision is:
“where we want to be.”

If someone wants a different Christmas experience… it’s best to consider it early.

Because places like Kościelisko disappear faster than you think.

We invite you to homely and authentic Christmas in Kościelisko!
