Old Town

Art of Serenity

Kraków, ul. Zacisze 12

Art of Serenity occupies a thoroughly restored townhouse at Zacisze 12, in the very heart of Kraków. The name brings together two things, the art filled interiors and the name of the street, which means “quiet place” in Polish. Each apartment is named after the painter whose work hangs on its walls: Gustav Klimt, Tamara Łempicka, Franz Marc and Salvador Dalí.

There are four apartments to choose from. Three are 20 m² studios for two, with a private bathroom, a fridge in the room and access to a fully equipped shared kitchen on the landing. The fourth is 32 m², with a separate bedroom and a living room with its own kitchenette, and it sleeps four. All are air conditioned and sit on the first floor, which the lift reaches.

The street is a pocket of calm the noise of the city never reaches. Galeria Krakowska and St Florian’s Gate are a two minute walk away, and the Main Square five. The locks are code operated, so you can check in at any hour from 3:00 pm, and you can leave your luggage in the luggage room.
