About us
3/4-time travelers
We are Maťo and Veve, three-quarter-time travelers. In the last few years (20+) we have traveled half the world and lived on 3 continents. We have slept in thousands of beds and we know exactly what makes a stay on the road pleasant and cozy.
When we returned from Australia after years of living abroad, Maťo wanted to spend his summers in Europe. Close to his parents and grandparents. Therefore, we needed our own space. The obvious choice was the Štiavnické vrchy, where we both studied at high school. By buying the Pink House, we fell for cottage living and all its forms (garden, renovations, neighborly help, village talk, making brandy, living according to the 4 seasons and especially in a quilt and overalls...)
Although we love life in the village, we spend most of the year on the road. We discover the world, get inspired by new places and people, and then apply these to our Liblings. "We prepare our coffee the Egyptian way, the lamps are from Thailand, the mulberry paintings are from Laos, masks from Sudan and Honduras protect us from bad luck, mirrors from one grandmother, spirits from another... We enjoy combining old with new, local with pieces stolen from our travels. If you like places with a soul, an atmosphere that tells stories, and accommodation that is not just a place to stay, but an experience, Liblings is here for you.

Over the past 8+ years, we have built a life that is in many ways similar to retirement - but in an active and creative form.
Our lifestyle is atypical for many. Since we don't need our home during our absence in Slovakia, we are happy to rent it out."
In addition to Liblings (the unconventional ones for living, the dog pets and our human cub), we are also dedicated to art. You can catch Maťa, a trained actor, on TV in one of the popular series or live in the now cult Štiavnica performances of the immersive polydrama Kosmopol and Monopol. Veronika is dedicated to theater and music production and the promotion of non-commercial artistic and educational projects.
