We have visited our family in the small village Cicmany near to Ilava city (or Trencin - approx. 55km) in the middle of July 2014. We have chosen Penzion Javorina because we saw this place many times while visiting our family. And it was very good choice! Very nice and cosy accomodation with great balcony with the view to the small yard and hills above the village. The staff was so friendly, but it is common on Slovakia I guess :-) People there are very nice. Breakfast was very rich with local specialities. Also the menu of the restaurant was very special and delicious with big portions.
The village itself - Cicmany is small, but very nice with restaurants and beautiful landscape. With Strážov mountain or near Javorina hill, where you can ski during the winter time. Or you can go to swim to the natural lake - Nitrainské Rudno. I can recommend very nice and majestic mountain - Klak, you can see it from Javorina hill. Don´t forget to visit also the museum of national tradition and culture in Cicmany and buy delicious sheep cheese in Cicmany or near village Zliechov, directly to the shepherd chalet.

We have been to this charming bed and breakfast an numerous occasions, always leaving with great memories and looking forward to our next visit.
Our kids love all the farm animals that are in the back yard and the morning wake up call of the rooster completes the experience of this lovely place.
Brano and his crew are always accommodating and the food that comes out of the kitchen is the best of traditional cuisine you will taste anywhere in Slovakia. If you like bread don't skip the breakfast as they serve the best rolls and bread ever!
Even if you don't need accommodation if you plan on traveling to the lovely village of Cicmany make sure you stop for great meal at Javorina you won't be disappointed!
