About Us
About "Branki" & "Stūrīši"
"Branki" & "Stūrīši" is in a well-kept, great location, away from the modern society, filled to the brim with rich history, tradition and mix of cultures. We can also provide you with information to learn about the local village, history and points of interest. The charm of the village Mazirbe is retained by its rural setting and location in the protected zone of Slītere National Park. You will find several UNESCO world heritage sites all around.
Our family & You
"Branki" has been in our family for generations. Our guesthouse business started spontaneously 8 years ago and now it is a welcome, familiar routine - during the winter we enjoy the peace & quiet of the secluded village and during the summer we open our doors to become hosts! You are a guest in a beautiful countryside location. Come to us when you need to get away, re-set, relax. When you need someone to feed you well!
Our family cook is a certified chef with over 25 years experience in making truly remarkable, tasty foods be they traditional, international or original. You must try the wonders he can do in a proper countryside kitchen.
We have made our best effort to supply our visitors with the best options and amenities, however countryside has its limitations, which is why we ask you to respect the nature of the location.
We have hosted weddings, yoga retreats, seen visits from prominent people in Latvian political, artistic and business scenes. If you have a special request or idea for an event, let us know and we will see what we can do. For all special events our family dresses up to showcase our hand-crafted traditional clothing of Livonians from 13th and 19th centuries.
House Rules
Respect for the surroundings and various items in the households is a must! All houses and items are of historical and personal significance to our family.
Serious note: These houses and things within them have endured various wars, political disagreements, the horrors of Soviet Union, the subsequent deportations and many other tests of time. We build them up, we work hard to fix the old houses and to retain the important traditional and historical elements, which are so easy to forget in the current modern world.
Please respect this and be nice to our homes and the things we love.
