7 stays with beautiful kitchens in Poland

In this house, the focus isn’t just the kitchen—it’s a space made for creating culinary masterpieces. How do we know? Because Volodymyr Testardi himself chose it as the backdrop for his cooking workshop. You get a well-equipped kitchenette, a kitchen island, and plenty of open space—ready to unleash your gastronomic creativity! There’s a dishwasher (so you won’t fight over who has to wash up), sturdy pots and pans, sharp knives, beautiful tableware, and an espresso machine to help you gather your thoughts before the big cooking session. There’s also a real oven—not just the usual “let’s surprise you with a fan mode.” Counter space for testing new recipes won’t be in short supply, and the fridge has room for everything, so no need to chill prosecco in the lake on short notice. For fans of long breakfasts, there’s a large table where both the dishes and the morning conversation can stretch into noon. And once you’re fed, take a stroll along your private pier to enjoy the calm waters of Lake Ublik—sights and sounds included.

This house is a modern barn dream wrapped in blue. Here, you cook with a view of lush greenery in a space designed for zero distractions—well, maybe except for the scent of fresh herbs sizzling in olive oil. There’s room for chopping, stirring, kneading, and testing your latest recipe—even one with fermented lemon. You also get an outdoor summer kitchen with a long table to showcase your signature appetizers. Culinary bonus: you can have breakfast on the terrace or dinner under the stars—whatever suits your appetite. And in summer, you can snack on fruit straight from the tree!

'(...) The house has a well-equipped kitchen, a cozy warm living room, and a stylish bathroom. (...) The yard is thoughtfully designed in every inch, and so many attractions made us forget about our sightseeing plans and just drift away into this magical, raspberry-scented world :) (...)'.

There are all kinds of kitchens: U-shaped, I-shaped, even ones with more islands than the Balearics. Here, you get a classic L-shape plus a “tail”—a long table where you can roll out dumplings, host a tasting-menu dinner, or even a Georgian supra. Sounds like a food lover’s dream, right? What’s more, at Dzielnik you’re feeding not just stomachs but also aesthetics. We don’t have to convince you—just check the photo gallery. And once you’ve spoiled your taste buds enough, you can hop into the sauna, swing in the hammock, or fall asleep to tunes spinning on a vintage record player. Whatever feels right.

'(...) A major plus is the top-notch equipment. On many trips, we ended up in beautiful homes with scratched nonstick pans and espresso machines so filthy I was grossed out at the thought of coffee. None of those nightmares await you at Dzielnik :) You get maybe ten kinds of coffee and probably three ways to brew it :) Scrambled eggs (no teflon 😂) on the terrace with fresh coffee and a view of trees—that’s the perfect recipe for relaxation. (...)'.

Rustic Zarębki is a spot where culinary artists find room for experiments and stylish cooking. Nobody here will ask, “Why do you need three types of olive oil?” Two wooden cabins—each like a snippet from a Pinterest board for cooking fanatics—tempt you with a fully equipped kitchen and a vibe that screams “turn on the jazz and knead dough for a homemade tart.” The cooking experience is enhanced by a sweeping panorama of the Beskid Makowski mountains and Lake Mucharskie. And that’s not the end of the goodies: you’ll also find a long table, gorgeous tableware, and the promise of a feast that could stretch past midnight. After your lab-like cooking session, dive into a hot tub with a lake view. A covered terrace is at your disposal for al fresco dining, along with a promise of coffee in the sunshine.

'(...) The place is manicured down to every detail (...) it had everything—from drawers full of kitchen tools to toys, bowls and dog-food bags, separate towels for the hot tub, even a pink hair straightener! ❤️ (...)'.

For those who cook with love and appreciate both function and aesthetics. We have a feeling this charming blue kitchen would inspire even someone whose signature dish is buttered toast. In such a beautiful setting, it’s much easier to try your hand at cooking a life-refreshing broth, baking a Basque cheesecake, or whipping up a breakfast that goes viral on Instagram before it even hits the table. There’s room for flavor experiments, group cooking, and even your own cooking show with an audience by the private pond. Here, you’re not just cooking—you’re celebrating.

'A magical, incredibly atmospheric place. We spent a magical week at the House by the Pond and returned refreshed and happy. (...) The house is wonderful, tastefully decorated, and fully equipped. (...) It was hard to leave; we felt amazing there. We highly recommend it.'

This is one of those kitchens that give you unlimited creative freedom. It comes with an airport-sized countertop, appliances that actually work, and a table big enough for the whole foodie crew. Plus so much space, you can cook in pairs, trios, or even a quartet with a child on your hip. Outside, it’s forest all around. On hand, fresh herbs from the garden. And next door, a covered terrace that perfectly channels an Italian veranda—only instead of cicadas, you hear birdsong in the birch canopy. Here, you can make Pinterest-worthy breakfasts and dinners like in a cozy Italian trattoria. For culinary hedonism, we recommend hammock lounging, forest-beach vibes on inflatable loungers, or a movie marathon on the projector.

'(...) The cottages had everything needed for a great stay, from group cooking to ping pong. The kitchens are very well equipped; with eleven people, the two dishwashers came in handy. The stand mixer was a nice touch too—we whipped up cream and finished a birthday cake in no time. (...)'.

In this place, cooking finally makes sense. Why? Because you have the space, the gear, and the right vibe. Everything’s spot-on in the kitchen, and the countertop is so vast you could even play ping pong on it. There’s plenty of light, nice ceramics, and reliable appliances for every step of your recipe. You can knead pizza dough, blend broad-bean hummus, or fry pancakes for the whole crew—stress-free, with no battles over the only skillet. Then enjoy sweet treats on the terrace, overlooking the forest and the peace broken only by a shy “Can I have seconds?” Hedonist extras include a hot tub, a sauna, and even a mini pool. Kids can burn off energy on the playground while adults wander in the surrounding woods.
