Šturmų Sodyba

Lithuania


Several kilometres from the tip of Ventės Ragas, this is your chance to disconnect from your hectic life and enjoy the proximity of the sea in one of two comfortable apartments (we particularly like the smaller one with the statement wallpaper) or the basic, cosy summer house. The cafe serves organic vegetables from the garden and homemade kvas (gira).
