Camping is possible in the Castle´s courtyard for 10 to 15 people on the campers´ own responsibility in case they do not disturb any activities of the group staying in the building. To judge the matter is the responsibility of the caretaker. Setting up a tent is allowed only in the areas designated by the caretaker. Campers set up their own tents with the help of their own tools. Ditches can not be dug around the tents and other earthmoving works are also forbidden. Tent dwellers can use the common toilets and bathrooms in the building as well as the open-air fireplace next to the kiln, as far as they take into account the needs of other groups staying in the building.
Camping prices: 3 € / 1 person / 1 night (rules relating to the time of arrival and departure are valid as regulated in the building).

Important information about accommodation and renting
Booking Process
- See our web page, call us on telephone or send us an e-mail to find out, whether we have free rooms at the time you have chosen.

- As soon as we receive the prepayment on our account, your booking is finalized. You have nothing more to do. You will be informed about the finalization of your reservation in e-mail.
- Only bookings confirmed by e-mail are valid!
Reservation cancellation comes into force the day the Operator receives a written notice about the matter. In case of reservation cancellation the amount of deposit repayment depends on the time remaining to the arrival of the guest (including the day when the cancellation was made but not including the day of arrival):
- if there are more than 90 days before the arrival, we can repay 90% of the prepayment,

If the Operator cancels the accommodation (even on the day of entry before the accommodation is occupied), the deposit will be refunded.
At arrival, deposit payment (caution money) shall be paid. It is used only in case of key loss, special cleaning or other compensation for damage. Guests and tenants are repaid the deposit after consistently meeting their obligations. In case the total sum needed for damage compensation is higher than the amount of the deposit, guests and tenants are obligated to reimburse the excess before leaving.
The payment is usually received at departure against a receipt titled as "Donation to the Ivánka Castle". If necessary, (pre-)invoice of accommodation fee and rent can be issued. In such a case, please, consult it with the caretaker at booking and provide the personal data needed.
