Best Belarusian estates

Belarusian country estates:



Agricultural estate Nesvijskaya

Want to have it all? The Nesvijskaya estate deserves to be in the top of the best country estates in Belarus, and now we will tell you why.

  • Address. Minsk region, Nesvizh city, 6 Kosciuszko Street.

  • Comfort. The rest here is for a company of up to 15 people. For this purpose, the two-storey mansion has everything you need and then some: for an affordable price, you get the opportunity to relax in one of the most picturesque places in Belarus, not far from the luxurious Nesvizh Palace. And one of the most beautiful castles in Belarus — Mir — is just 30 kilometers away. Isn't this great?

  • Cuisine. Cook your own meals in the fully equipped kitchen, if you want, or order breakfast and dinner from the owners. Moreover, we recommend large and cheerful companies using the barbecue set and frying flavorful meat.

  • Entertainments. In summer — badminton and volleyball, fishing and songs around the campfire, in winter — skiing and walking around the beautiful beyond description territory. There is something to do all year round!

VETLIVA’s advice: do you still think Belarusian cuisine is limited to draniki and kalduny, so you don't expect anything different? It's a high time to study our gastro tour and make sure that the Belarusian national cuisine will give a head start to many other foreign opponents.

  • Cuisine. Fragrant, melting in the mouth dishes of Belarusian cuisine, cooked in the oven — sounds so yummy that you probably want to drop everything and ride off to the Starki estate! Machanka, jellied minced meat (kholodec), homemade sausage, crispy pickles…Perhaps we will stop here, so as not to cause you a hunger attack.

  • Entertainments. A wood-burning sauna is a wonderful way to relax and take a good steam bath. Since the Neroplya River runs nearby, you can rent boats or kayaks and make a real rafting trip on it. You can also go fishing here and try to get a trophy, and let alone walking through the scenic location and enjoying the beautiful nature of the Mogilev region!
