The house has a very interesting history and the apartment you are about to rent is our way of generating income to preserve the house for the next generations. The house was owned by my greatgrandmother Elvira and given to my mother and me as a gift 2016. The house was built 1933 by my greatgreatgrandmother Lize and her husband Janis. Lize and Janis worked hard to save the money and build this house that was meant to be their source of income when they get old, as they planned to rent out a part of the house. After the II World War it was confiscated by the Sovjets. Janis and Lize never got to live in the house that they had built. The house was returned to my greatgrandmother Elvira only 1994 after the fall of Sovjet Union, long after Lize and Janis had passed away. Elvira lived not far from her childhood town Skrunda until 98 years of age and was happy to see the house finally getting renovated. I hope you will enjoy staying at Elvira’s long lost and regained house and I want to thank you for booking this apartment and helping me preserve this house for our family. Please follow our page on facebook /skrundaapartments/ to find out more. Sincerelly, Anna (and her mom)

We are offering a newly renovated (2018) two room apartment with extra comfortable kingsize bed with delux mattresses, a pull-out couch that will accommodate two more adults or children, fully equipped kitchen, shower with automatic thermostat for easy water temperature regulation and other facilities that you might need for a comfortable stay. In the kitchen you will find electric owen and stove, microwawe owen, coffee maker, toaster, fridge and cookware. Also a washing machine with drying function is at your disposal. Other facilities are free WIFI, toys for kids, baby crib. The apartment is situated in privately owned 4 apartment house, in Skrunda centrum. The house is surrounded by a garden on one side, and on the other side you will find Ventas Street that is the central street passing through Skrunda. In the garden you will find apple trees, plums, lilac and jasmine trees, and almost 100 years old sheds that give the house its rustic charm and genuine rural feeling. Your stay will be far from the usual insipid tourist traps, and you will be able to experience the real small-town life.

Janis and Lize chose to build the house near beautiful river Venta. It will take you just a 3 minutes walk to reach the riverbank of Venta. We recommend a summer morning or evening walk or bike ride along the banks of Venta! The house is situated in the middle of central Skrunda, yet it is so close to the countryside, that you will get the best of the two worlds. Skrunda is a small town, perfectly situated in the middle of the Courland if you wish to explore the region. It takes just 45 minutes by car to reach Liepaja and Baltic Sea with its magnificent sandy beaches. If you want to explore the ancient town Kuldiga, it is just a short drive away. Just across the streat, a short distance from the apartment, you can enjoy the luxury 4 star restaurant meal at Skrunda Manor. If you want to “do as Romans do”, visit the local café-restaurant Jumis, also just across the street, some 300 m from the house. Jumis is definitely the most budget friendly restaurant in the region. During summer there is also an open-air café-grill bar near the house where you can try local beer and Latvian style grilled meat. Local food-stores are also just around the corner.
