HA well traveled but probably certifiable lunatic who is trying hard to restore a beautiful old house. The house is a lifelong renovation project...your booking greatly assists with the rejuvenation of this historic monument. Many thanks!

Spillenberg House is a historic national monument named from the 1550s after the physicians to the Hungarian monarchy, who established their ancestral home in the building. The building was redesigned from the Gothic style (remaining architectural elements can be seen on the ground floor) to the Renaissance style by the Spillenbergs. Later in the 1700s, Júlia Korponayová (the infamous white lady of Levoca) resided in the property, meeting her lover through a hidden passageway to the neighboring tavern. This home, has all the requirements you need to ensure you have a welcoming, safe retreat after travelling, exploring, hiking, cycling or skiing. This palazzo is situated in the very heart of a beautiful UNESCO walled town, with all the facilities of a small town but only minutes walk from unspoilt countryside.

Levoca is a stunning UNESCO listed town surrounded by National Parks (the Tatra mountains, Levoca Mountains and Slovak Paradise). Blessed with warm summers (25-35c) the area is perfect hiking and cycling country. During the summer there are numerous summer fetes, cultural displays and a wealth of historical places nearby. The town hosts a Roman Catholic Pilgrimage (approximately 300000 attendees) every first weekend in July. The town is linked to Spis Castle (about a 10 min drive East) the largest castle in central Europe as a joint UNESCO World Heritage site. In October the town host the Classical Musical Assembly 'Levoca Indian Summer', with performances from top classical musicians from across Europe. In the winter, the local town ski slopes (black, red, blue, runs with night skiing) are only only a 5 minute drive. Donovaly, Plesy and the Tatras ski facilities are a very short (20-30 min) drive away. An international cross country skiing circuit is located about 10 minutes drive away North of the village of Uloza. With the central European location, snow conditions are stable and last until late March.
