Why „U Zemänov“ ?

Why is the apartment called „U Zemänov“?

Zemän means Yeoman

The village Strelníky has many residents with the same surname “Majer” (Farmstead, Grange). They are about 80%. To distinguish individual citizens, they use to give them nicknames (sins). The previous owner of the house had a lot of lands and therefore had a sin “Zemän” (Yeoman). The house in which the apartment is located in the village is therefore called “U Zemänov” (by Yeoman).

Although the apartment is completely new (2016), its atmosphere is complemented by the fact that it is part of a house that was built in 1839. Interesting facts about this house as well as the process of the recent reconstruction can be found in The house story

If you have children

Behind the house there is a large (1600 m2) garden with a playground full of fruit, vegetables and medicinal herbs. From the gazebo in the garden and from the window of the apartment you have the permanent supervision of your playing children. Additionally just 400m from the house there is a small ski resort suitable for children. You can read more in The playground and the garden and Skiing

If you like romantic

The garden is slightly uphill and at its upper end there is a magnificent view of the Great Fatra, Low Tatras and extinct volcano Poľana. Here you can see the most beautiful sunsets in Slovakia. The fireplace will intensify the romantic atmosphere. See photos at The playground and the garden

If you like privacy

You can be sure, that the apartment will be only yours all the time. No one else will share the inner space with you. And the parking space is hidden in the yard.
