The season is in full swing in Cesis, and the recent spell of beautiful weather has seen plenty of visitors to the town. Recent residents of Cesu Namins have enjoyed canoeing down the river Gauja using the cottage as a convenient base.
Cake and coffee just a stone's throw away
We have also been pleased to see the opening of a new cake and coffee shop on the same street as Cesu Namins,called “Vinetas un Allas Kārumlāde”. Vineta and Alla, who make the cakes by hand, have been one of Cesis region’s best-kept secrets for a while though their wedding cakes are much in demand across the whole country.
Purely in the interest of research we tried a couple of their home-made cakes and strongly recommend that you do likewise!
One more thing to remember – this year’s Cesis Art Festival runs from 23 July to 15 August. It looks like a good one with the European Union Baroque Orchestra performing at the church (you will actually be able to hear them from Cesu Namins!) and a season of classic Japanese films being shown at the Castle.
July 31 looks like being the highlight, with the whole town set to become a picnic site and local food to the fore.
STOP PRESS: Cesu Namins is now booked from July 8 to 15 so book soon.
