This is description I wrote on the CN site years ago (my wife thinks it's too "poetic"):: "Sung by poets, lauded by bards, revered by the cognoscenti, Château Novak, a sun-kissed architectural jewel precariously perched on the verdant slopes overlooking the slothful Berounka, demurely - but joyfully - awaits your visit. Higher than the ancient neogothic fort of Křivoklat (1 steep mile away), lower than the Cool Bohemia icon that is Velka Bukovas' sleek observation tower, Château Novak is a pearl whose fragrant, multicoloured garden is its' delicious oyster - come, tease it delicately open, and discover the nacred treasures that demurely await you." Umm, actually it's a huge ex farm building that my wife (née Novak, thus the name ;-) and I have lovingly transformed and decorated over the past twenty years: It's of course not a château, but it's a large, rambling house with, on the ground floor, a comfortable living room, a vast (75 m²) game/meeting/event hall with a pool/ping-pong table and big-screen O/H projector, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a dining-room for 12 . The 7 bedrooms, each with its' own bathroom, are distributed among the two upper floors, and comfortably sleep 12 adults and four children. Of course there is (free) wifi. You will particularly enjoy the terraced garden, which features a BBQ as well as a Badmington/volleyball court: it offers a stunning view on the Berounka Valley (canoing!) and on the village of Krivoklat, famous for its' crenelated castle and deep forests (the whole area is in the process of being declared a National Park). The charming historical centers of Beroun and Rakovnik are just twenty minutes away, and it takes 40 minutes by car - through the forest and along the Berounka river - to reach the magnificent capital city of Prague, unless you prefer to visit Pilsen and it's celebrated brewery (there are many more smaller breweries a few miles away ;-). There are a small shop and a pub in our village, and a bigger shop and restaurants can be found four miles away in the valley, notably the very pleasant riverside "U Jezzu". Vaclav Havel Prague airport is an hour away. We look forward to your visit! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Wheelchair-accessible parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 6.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 22 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 1 accessible parking space - Area rugs in public areas - Front entrance ramp - Smooth flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair accessibility - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Take great care in dry weather (also with the BBQ) ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Bicycles - Billiards/pool table - Kayak - Table tennis ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycles - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Grey water recycling system - Local artist showcase - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 6,458 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114510000/114509100/114509094/594c099a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Vacation home Svatá by Interhome Svata - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=114509094&PinnedHotelID=114509094&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 12:00 PM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs only 1 total (up to 22 lbs per pet) Note from host: Sur accord PREALABLE - Only by PREVIOUS agreement ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome Note from host: Renter is responsible for damages/ extra cleaning! ### Events Events allowed: family gatherings and birthday parties By previous, written agreement only! ### Smoking Smoking allowed: in designated areas Take great care in dry weather (also with the BBQ) ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Parties and events (including family gatherings and birthday parties) are allowed on site; maximum attendees: 16 Note from host: By previous, written agreement only!

Wir waren mit 13 Personen da. Jeder hat einen guten Schlafplatz finden können und jedes Zimmer hat ein eigenes Bad. Das ist super. Im Erdgeschoss war viel Platz für unsere große Familie und der tolle Billardtisch lud uns alle zu vielen Spielen ein. Vom Essplatz im Garten hat man einen wunderbaren Blick. Bei Volleyball, Badminton, Tischspielen, Lesen in der Hängematte, Billard, Filmabend (Beamer+Leinwand vorhanden)... verbrachten wir in großer Familienrunde einen tollen Urlaub im Château Novák. Die kreative Einrichtung des Hauses und die vielen verschiedenartigen Gemälde haben uns viel Freude bereitet. Eine kleine Wanderung führte uns zur Burg Křivoklád. Die Berounka lud uns zum Baden und Paddeln ein. Und im "U Jezzu" haben wir mehrmals lecker gegessen. Die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber war immer schnell und sehr angenehm und wir hatten eine tolle Urlaubswoche. Wir können die Unterkunft definitiv weiterempfehlen.

The house is very originally furnished and has everything you could possibly need: spacious kitchen(s), clean toilets, cozy and clean beds, huge common rooms. A highlight is the piano, billiard and table tennis table, projector + screen, fireplace, garden with seating and barbecue facilities, espresso machine. Everything top! Very uncomplicated communication, friendly reception & service. 2 castles and plenty of hiking opportunities in the immediate vicinity offer everything you need for a short vacation like we had. We would love to come back! ##### Sylvi M.
