Livonian & Latvian Homestead "Stūrīši & Branki" offers guest accommodation in 4 houses owned by our family, quietly situated in the picturesque historic Livonian fishing village in Mazirbe, Kurzeme. Each house has a unique setting, history and style, varied types of rooms and amenities. We welcome you to get "back to basics", experience great food and hospitality in the middle of the countryside.
THE HOUSE:
The household "Mežmaļi" is a completely private house with kitchen, porch and garden full of fruits and berries. This house has a true Latvian grandmother feeling and it hasn't been renewed as extensively as the other houses. The price for this location is significantly discounted. The house has the capability to be flexible with bed arrangements and sleep up to 11 people.
Breakfast is NOT included in your stay & can be ordered for €9 per person.
"Mežmaļi" has a fully equipped kitchen and a truly one-of-a-kind setting, where you have the opportunity to sleep and live in a setting which people in our village usually had in their houses during the Soviet era and a time before. Please explore the pictures carefully to assess the property for yourself - all pictures have a description.
Please be aware that there is no toilet with running water inside the house. Instead, you will have an outhouse next to "Mežmaļi" and an access to a shared guest bathroom on the premises of our Summerhouse, which includes a running toilet. A true back-to-basics in countryside experience!
EXTRAS:
Children are welcome and we can arrange a crib.
A traditional firewood heated sauna (hot rocks and steam) is available for hire to all guests who stay at least 3 nights.
The family of "Branki" also provides excursions, guided tours and information about the local points of interest. If ordered in advance, large groups can have a meal here - up to 160 people in the summer.

About the host
Hosted by Igors
Family cook, designer, entrepreneur - I care about an authentic feel and taking care to add the right details and make our house a rare and unforgettable experience. I like to combine the best and the most interesting elements of various historical ages while retaining the traditions of Latvian and Livonian living. As a certified cook with over 25 years of experience in cooking for legions, restaurants and my family, I truly enjoy cooking in a proper countryside kitchen.
Why they chose this property
Mazirbe is a getaway from the world. Hardly any phone reception, no internet. Instead there are miles and miles of a green, fresh pine forest. You can go pick berries, mushrooms or just for long, healthy walks. If forests are not in your fancy, there is a white sandy beach! During summers and early autumn water gets warm enough for swimming. Usually you can have the beach almost to yourself - this remote location is far away from popular routes.
What makes this property unique
Rural location, with beauty and peace all around you. Come here if you truly want to get away, regain that easy feeling of a summer-house holiday and just enjoy the very fresh air, surprises, nature and food.
We rely on local farmers and their stock - all of our food is bought from great, hardworking people - supplying fresh meat, dairy products, locally-grown vegetables, individually crafted local foods (Sklandrausis, for example), berries, mushrooms and when the sea has the right conditions our village fishermen sell finger-licking good fresh fish.
