Large summer house 40" from Prague overlooking Krivoklat & the Berounka valley.

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!

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit
Danke, dass wir an diesem schönen Ort unseren Urlaub verbringen konnten. 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. Danke für alles :-)

Very nice, spacious house in a rural idyll
We had a very nice vacation at Chateau Novak in Velka Bukova. 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!
