Krumlov House is green
We want to change the world, one bed at a time:
Here are some of the ways Krumlov House sustains energy & promotes healthy living:
Solar panels — radiator reflectors — energy-star efficient appliances & office equipment — interior wood reclaimed or obtained from locally managed forests — green cleaning products — air-drying & folding laundry (no iron!) — second-hand and bio cotton sheets — energy-saving light bulbs – eco-paper brochures — wind-powered website hosting — recycling & composting — non-smoking, family-friendly environment — supporting & promoting locally-owned businesses – donations to charity (local and international)
We encourage our guests to:
drink the tap water – re-use plastic shopping bags – participate in Krumlov’s outdoor activities : cycling, boating, and horseback riding — use public transport — limit showers to five minutes — reduce, re-use, and recycle.

So many festivals, so little time…What’s there to get jazzed about? Jazzky Krumlov (Sept 8 – 11). Our personal favorite is The St. Wenceslas Festival (Sept. 24 – 26) – Don’t miss Burčak, the first wine of the season, the gathering of the Václavs, or the fruit dumpling eating contest!
