WANDA’S SECOND LIFE. ALL THANKS TO RENATA GORECKA AND GRZEGORZ GACEK
The most
beautiful villa from the interwar period located between Kraków and Vienna has

Gacek. On Friday afternoon, the property—restored with meticulous attention to
the finest details—was officially opened, and the couple is not only writing
the latest chapter in the history of this health resort nestled at the foot of
the Little Pieniny and the Beskid Sądecki mountains, but also demonstrating
that business can be conducted with heart and soul.
