7 Slowhop Retreats in Warmia, Poland

A beautiful spot created by a tennis pro and a yoga enthusiast near Lidzbark Warmiński. Both have an eye for art, so the interiors speak to guests in the language of Picasso and Modigliani. The apartments are delightful, and the hosts are passionate about sports and cooking. There’s a lake on the doorstep for extra indulgence, plus yoga and mindfulness classes, personal training sessions, and tennis lessons with the host. “Such a charming place. Storks are everywhere, and you can also spot cranes and herons! Simply beautiful.”

Slowhop says:

We recommend it to couples looking to celebrate an elegant anniversary in stylish surroundings away from it all, as well as families with children. You can even take a donkey for a walk. Who wouldn’t love that? We certainly would!

'Everything was top-notch. The cottage is clean, well-kept, and full of charm. The tub water is spotless, and there's an option to use it even in bad weather. Great communication with the host and openness to suggestions. You can truly disconnect from everything. I especially recommend it to young parents needing a break from their kids and wanting some time just for themselves! We already know we'll definitely come back :-)'.

This house grew out of dreams and a longing for nature, surrounded by 25 hectares of forests, meadows, and rolling hills where you can spend all day weaving flower crowns, chasing butterflies, and following wildlife tracks. There's a fallow deer farm on site that you can visit and admire. Anglers will enjoy the fishing ponds, while green cycling trails and kayaks await the more active visitors, and you can always relax in a hammock for an afternoon nap. “Stunning surroundings! The perfect spot to escape city noise and recharge your batteries on long walks in nature. Highly recommended.”

Slowhop says:

The house sleeps up to 12 guests. There’s no meals included, but you get a kitchen and a few great local food spots nearby. And because of the deer farm, no pets, please.

The name “Kawkowo” stirs many souls. If you haven’t heard of this village yet, you have some catching up to do—Kawkowo deserves its own Wikipedia entry as “the place with the most atmospheric guesthouses per square meter.” In a century-old house lives a children’s clothing designer with her husband, a painter, and they’re happy to welcome families with kids.

Slowhop says:

Silence, harmony, and creative hosts inside this artistic haven. Plus, plenty of outdoor space for kids to run off all the years spent in the city.

'Amazing atmosphere, wonderful century-old houses, exquisitely finished interiors, an incredibly picturesque setting, delicious cuisine, and above all, hosts who redefine the word “hospitality.”'

This spot is so ultra pet-friendly—and animal-friendly in general—that it attracts only good people. It’s the kind of place for those seeking not just rest but also great company. Picture listening to Billie Holiday with your dog draped over your legs in a hammock.

Slowhop says:

With six rooms accommodating up to 16 guests, pets aren’t just allowed—they’re encouraged! There’s no on-site catering, but you’ll find a fantastic kitchen and can cycle off for groceries.

'A slice of heaven on earth, gorgeous surroundings, beautiful rooms, and the homestead itself so charming you don’t want to leave! We spent a wonderful weekend and will definitely be back!'

This place looks as if sketched with an enchanted pencil. Host Paulina brought it to life with all her heart. It’s not just another hotel or farm stay; it’s a home where guests are received like family. There’s a dining room perfect for sipping freshly ground coffee, chatting for hours about the scent of wildflowers, and listening to lazy jazz. You can smell the herbs in the air and do whatever you like, with no rigid rules or glancing at the clock. The hosts are fantastic, fully ready for little explorers. The vibe here is simply electric.

Slowhop says:

With 15 bikes, a playground for the little ones, and endless greenery, you can even host workshops here. No dogs, though.

'Delicious food made only from natural ingredients, just like grandma’s on vacation. A beautiful house, a warm atmosphere, peace, and wonderful surroundings.'

Here, the house is tucked away on a hill between trees and a gently flowing stream. The abundance of greenery often triggers a surprise rush of endorphins. It’s a little Bullerbyn where you can roll in the grass, climb trees, and pedal along forest paths. Hats off to the hosts for the magical interiors that let you tune everything out, forget about the outside world, and simply unwind.

Slowhop says:

Beautiful interiors, homemade preserves, and fantastic conditions for little ones. You can also take a bike trip along the Copernicus Trail or stroll through the forest.

'A magical place. The hosts are incredibly kind—I recommend it to anyone seeking relaxation, peace, and comfort at once. Thank you for the fresh flowers in the rooms and the abundance of delightful trinkets that delight the eyes and the soul.'

The interiors here are a bit different from a typical Slowhop countryside—more modern, for those who have a thing for glass and design. It’s tucked right in the forest, close to a lake—a real treat, and the host is great. You get the house all to yourself and can dance around naked to your favorite tunes without anyone batting an eye.

Slowhop says:

There’s no meal plan, but you’ll have a well-equipped kitchen, and the house accommodates eight guests plus a four-legged friend. A few steps away you’ll find a sunny beach and kayak rentals.

'This place combines the beauty of nature with priceless peace in today’s world. A huge living room with a view of a wall of vibrant greenery... you just have to see it, feel it... atmospheric, comfortable, with attention to every detail.'
