He won’t spoil any fun, but jokes have no place in the kitchen.

Václav is a passionate chef who lives for cooking. Always good-tempered, he takes his work very seriously. In his career, he gained his first experience at the Na Šustně restaurant where he met chef Tomáš Šťavík who pointed him in the right direction. He then worked for 5 years at the Kastrol restaurant under experienced chefs Pavel Menzel, Jiří Šafařík, and Pierre Memme. Quickly, he worked his way up to sous chef. As he says, it was there where he learned the art of haute cuisine. Then he set out to fulfil his dream and gained experience with Václav Frič at his renowned restaurant Na Pekárně in Čakovičky. Apart from cooking, Václav loves his family and is a proud fan of the Italian football club AC Milan. He lives by the credo: “Where there’s a will, there’s a way”.

Her wish is for every guest to feel at home at Statek Břežany, make the most of their stay and leave with wonderful memories.

Andrea graduated from the University of Business in Prague with a degree in Tourism. She is certainly no newcomer to Statek Břežany – for almost six years, she has been helping Václav take care of the estate and its day-to-day running. It was also here, at Statek Břežany, that they said “I do” in 2015.

At Statek Břežany, Andrea takes care of marketing and social media, giving future guests a glimpse of the unique atmosphere and charm of this special place. She is now also in touch with our guests from their very first enquiry through to their stay, making sure everything is carefully prepared before they arrive.

In her free time, Andrea enjoys photography, travelling and running in the countryside. Most of all, however, she loves spending time with her family and their dog, Chilli.

With the care you receive at the farmhouse, you will feel like you are at your grandma’s house.

Monika’s family comes from the neighbouring town of Kožlany, where her great grandfather was a baker. In 2008, with her husband they bought an uninhabitable building with a plan to rebuild it into a venue for stays with friends, family gatherings and social and company events. In building and running the farm, both draw extensively on their professional experience – Monika is a manager with rich experience at international companies, mentor and coach; Ladislav is the owner of a company distributing French cosmetics and running beauty salons in cooperation with spas, hotels, and wellness centres. Their common goal is to give pride of place to the beautiful environment of the Břežany village in harmony with the renovated interior spaces of the farmhouse.
