QELNAVOR Retreats — a room at the end of the path
Some rooms exist to lose afternoons in; the Menaggio is built for losing them properly — lockable quiet, shelving engineered for real libraries, and a desk option that has ended several excuses for unwritten books.
A tea house is a philosophy with a roof: proportions taken seriously, thresholds that slow you down on purpose, and joinery clean enough to hold the ritual. Ours are built by carpenters who understand that the door should sound right when it closes.

Questions, Answered
Is it usable year-round?
Insulated retreats with heating are four-season rooms; the listing states the package. Three-season models say so plainly and cost accordingly.
What maintenance does the interior need?
Pale timber interiors want dusting and an occasional oil; floors are finished for shoes-off living. The building's care card fits on one page.
The QELNAVOR Promise
The statutory 24-month warranty under Czech law applies, together with any manufacturer's warranty — glass units, hardware, louvres, shingles and finials are available as spare parts.
