| 1. | a person who takes up an art, activity, or subject merely for amusement, esp. in a desultory or superficial way; dabbler. |

| 3. | of or pertaining to dilettantes. |
Such is the chosen identity of Matya Dio, self-proclaimed painter, experimental novelist and lover of caffeine. Besides being an interesting woman, she runs a small guesthouse in the charming little town of Český Krumlov and the place is appointed as you might expect from a young, funky artist with an eye for details and a passion for colour.
Dilettante's Hangout is in a perfect location for exploring the Old Town, which is well worth exploring. The guesthouse consists of the sub-terranean Buddha Suite and the main-floor Nirvana Boudoir. There is a handy kitchen, lounge with books, guitars and a fireplace and a patio with seats and a hammock. Both suites accommodate 2 comfortably and the going rate is less than $70 CAD/night, as of summer 2008.
