About this property

Nestled on the shores of Lake Lipno in the small South Bohemian town of Horní Planá, Penzion Eliska is a charming three-star guest house with something increasingly rare in the region — its own private beach area with direct waterfront access. The town itself sits quietly along the lake, well positioned for exploring the wider Šumava landscape, and the UNESCO-listed Český Krumlov Castle lies roughly twenty-three kilometres away, making it an easy day trip for history and architecture enthusiasts. Surrounded by a pleasant garden and outdoor seating that looks out over the water, the property feels like a genuine lakeside retreat rather than just a place to sleep. Rooms at Penzion Eliska are comfortably fitted with private bathrooms, parquet flooring, tea and coffee making facilities, refrigerators, and dining tables — practical touches that make longer stays far more manageable. Free wireless internet is available throughout, and there is complimentary on-site parking, a welcome detail for anyone arriving by car. Families will appreciate the outdoor playground, while winter visitors can take advantage of ski equipment hire and a ski pass sales point on the premises. The non-smoking policy throughout keeps the interiors fresh and welcoming. This is a property that works particularly well for couples seeking a quiet lakeside escape, and guest ratings reflect that, with high marks for the location. Families with younger children will also find it practical thanks to the beach, garden, and play area. For those using the guest house as a base, České Budějovice is under fifty kilometres to the north, and the Lipno Dam and its surrounding recreational areas are a short drive away. Unpretentious and well located, it offers honest value in one of South Bohemia's loveliest corners.
