В последнее время современные туристы все чаще they prefer not expensive overseas resorts, but domestic recreation centers. One of these places is “Vattsy” - a recreation center, which is located in the heart of Russian nature, in the Novgorod region.
База отдыха "Ватцы" (Валдай - город, недалеко от which it is located) opened relatively recently, in 2004. Located in the village, which borrowed its name. Although the village is quite small, about 30 yards, but very cozy and distant from the city bustle. The base is located 12 km from the city of Valdai (or rather, its center) of the Novgorod region, practically in the midst of the forest.
The presence of two lakes in the place where the asphalt and the road of the village ends is remarkable. These are Lakes Medium and Patrushikha.
There are no such rooms at this Vattsy recreation center (Valdai is close to it). But the choice of wooden houses is huge. And you can book it in advance without prior payment.
They are located in two different parts of the village (the parts are 900 km distant from each other): the distant and the nearest territory.
In the near area there are two cottages andhouse, cafe and sports ground. In addition, guests have the opportunity to go to the pier and visit the stables. At the same far cottage and three cozy houses, as well as a bath (open for guests to visit).
Расположены коттеджи (в один из них разрешается settling with animals) almost on the lake, across the road. However, the movement on it is dead-end and practically absent, but it is quite possible to drive to the house by own transport without hindrance.
The houses are exclusively double rooms, in some ofthey have the possibility of arranging additional space. The cottage accommodates up to 7 people. The rooms are heated in winter. The use of the guests are provided with a microwave, refrigerator and barbecue (located on the street). Also there is a shower, toilet and, of course, towels and a hairdryer.
Despite the fact that there is practically no distance between some of the houses, they all have good sound insulation, the windows look in different directions, and the verandas of each of them overlook one of the lakes.
At the base there is a large parking lot, so there is always the opportunity to come by a caravan of cars with friends or take a motor home with you.
