About Dilettante's Hangout

Located just 5 minutes walking distance from the town square of Cesky Krumlov, right above the Plesivec Stairs, secluded within the island of the old Plesivec Square,

Dilettante's Hangout is NOT A HOSTEL, but a home to an eclectic and eccentric performance theatre and cabaret artist, poet and painter Maty Dio, offering three non smoking en-suite accommodations for the vacation rental, Nirvana Boudoir, Buddha Suite and Cave Room.

Dilettante's Hangout is filled with art and original paintings and sketches line the walls.

Nirvana Boudoir:

The king sized wooden chunky colonial Mexican four poster bed, two large comfortable leather chocolate coloured armchairs, massive wooden Spanish wardrobe and the exotic oriental coffee bedside table blend beautifully, creating a cozy, comfortable double bedroom.

En suite bathroom is mosaic tiled and spacious, offering a bathtub with a shower, extra-large sink, toilet and a bidet.

Bedroom window overlooks the patio garden.

Nirvana Boudoir has no kitchen facility, but it does have a kettle, cutlery, cups and glasses.

Linen and towels are provided.

Nirvana Boudoir is available for both single travellers or couples at 790 Czech Crowns per night per room, inclusive of tax.

Buddha Suite studio apartment:

The standard double sized wooden/metal bed, massive Spanish wooden wardrobe and chunky bedside tables turn the ground floor into a comfortable studio apartment.

Custom designed two way open hearth fireplace faces the chunky chocolate brown three seater sofa and the bed ideal for relaxing on those chilly days.

Kitchenette is equipped with a toaster, coffee maker, fridge, cutlery, glasses, cups, plates, small cooker and a kettle.

En suite bathroom has a shower cubicle, sink and a toilet.

Two large windows overlook the patio garden.

Linen and towels are provided.

Buddha Suite studio apartment is available for both single travellers or couples at 890 Czech Crowns per night per room, inclusive of tax.

Cave Room:

Cave Room is a spacious, basic and simple basement bedroom for one person with a cave like environment. It is UNSUITABLE for those with a walking disability or for elderly.

The sleeping area is standard double sized.

Custom designed egg shaped open hearth fireplace faces the coffee table and a two seater settee.

Cave Room has no kitchen but is equipped with a toaster, cutlery, glasses, cups, plates and a kettle.

En suite bathroom has a shower cubicle, sink and a toilet.

The bedroom area has 2 small windows and the bathroom has one small window.

Linen and towels are provided.

Cave single bedroom is available at 445 Czech Crowns per night per room, inclusive of tax.

PLEASE NOTE again, Cave Room is located partially underground in the oldest area of the house, and it has to be reached by walking down a steep set of stairs. The bedroom due to its location has little natural sunlight, although plenty of lamps are provided. Wifi signal in this bedroom is low due to its location, but you can catch the better signal in the hallway or outside, in the patio.

If you are looking to stay in a hotel or hostel type accommodation, you will be disappointed, as this is my private home, there is no reception, no receptionist, no curfew, no standard hotel/hostel services, but I will personally ensure and that whatever your needs are, they will be met.

Should you not meet me, due to my schedule of performances, shows and public appearances, my family will attend you in the best way they can.

Happy travels.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?

if you need to get away from sterile hotels or ikea furniture, look-alike rooms, then this is the place to go. The house is very laid-back and informal. Maty is very forthcoming with information about everything and even found a legal and free parking space for us to safely park our car only 500m away. We came during a cold-spell so Maty already had a fire going in the hearth before we arrived: very cozy!

This is a Trusted Review. Why?

beautiful collection of pictures, toaster and fridge were a nice bonus. I'd recommend this if you don't want a cookie-cutter place to stay.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?

There are many little things that make this a very agreeable and distinctly different place to stay: Owner Maty is a really amenable person - truly eager to help, and genuinely useful ( the map/comments we were given definitely enhanced our stay). The rooms are wonderfully hippy-trippy but with all the right stuff - clean, great shower etc. It's a pleasant 5 min walk from the village centre. I'm glad I stayed there. Un saludo de España, Maty.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?

Great room with four-poster bed and nice en-suite bathroom and very close to town. The only negative comment I would make is the owner needs to be more available when checking out - I had to ring the bell numerous times and wait about 10 mins to pay.
