One voucher, dozens of ideas for a romantic gift

Do you ever check aurora forecasts for Poland? Keep an eye out, pick your dates, and put your voucher to good use in Western Pomerania (Pomorze Zachodnie). Stock up on groceries beforehand, because you won't want to leave once you arrive. There's a private jetty on the lake and a rowing boat ready for sunset dates on the water. Even if the northern lights don't show, you won't run out of things to do together:

• catch an open-air screening at the Ińsko Film Summer festival
• light a campfire and slow-cook a hearty stew in a cast-iron pot over the embers
• relax in the open-air hot tub under the stars, which is included in the price

Fresh sheep's milk cheese, authentic French cooking, and the serene lakes of Warmia in northern Poland. Take a day trip to Reszel, a slow-living town, and consider booking a show or creative workshop at the renowned alternative theatre Teatr Węgajty nearby. Then settle in at Kiersztanowo for a long, unhurried date where you can:

• watch daily life unfold on the working sheep farm
• join a local cheese tasting and sit down to a three-course dinner of French flavours
• try your hand at a few gentle farm chores

'Beautiful green surroundings, incredible peace and quiet (even the hens in the coop, as the host put it, "are well-mannered and don't wake our guests early"). If you're looking for a total reset, Owczarnia hits the spot. The hosts? Charming, respectful of your privacy, but always happy to chat if you fancy some company. And the food? Simply delicious and beautifully presented. If you eat with your eyes first, you'll be delighted. The dinners with French home cooking in the heart of Warmia are well worth ordering. And the cheeses made right on the farm are a must: aromatic herb rinds and wonderfully soft centres.'

Set out on a canoe trip down the Bóbr River. Its winding, scenic course makes a wonderful day in nature, even for first-timers. Book a guided agate-hunting excursion and start a shared mineral collection. For your stay, check in with a Danish baker settled in Lower Silesia (Dolny Śląsk), where you can look forward to:

• feeding the sheep, ponies, and chickens together
• a refined Danish-style breakfast with freshly baked homemade bread every morning
• and to top it off, a one-of-a-kind artisan baking workshop

'We fell in love with Dom Cukiernika and everyone living here: both the two-legged hosts who made us feel completely at home, and the four-legged ones who were just as warm and friendly. The house was filled with warmth: from the fireplace, from cuddles with Kaszmir and Alek, from endless cups of freshly brewed coffee, from full bellies after delicious meals (the breakfasts and dinners are fantastic), and from the hosts' smiles and Sylwia's captivating stories.'

You might not know it yet, but an herbal open-air bath in an outdoor tub heated by a wood fire could be just what you need. If that kind of closeness to nature sounds far more appealing than a standard hotel, dive straight into a romantic weekend without electricity in Kashubia (Kaszuby). Alongside deep silence broken only by croaking frogs and the distant hum of a tractor, you can share plenty of grounding experiences:

• cook together in an outdoor summer kitchen surrounded by greenery
• join guided Tai Chi and Qigong sessions designed to help you unwind and recharge
• take a dip in a natural peat pond and swim like nobody's watching

'A place tucked away in lush greenery that brings genuine calm and a chance to disconnect from daily rush. Our stay here reminded me how good simple, authentic contact with nature feels. The hosts were exceptionally warm and hospitable, taking great care of everything. Great coffee and easy access to bikes and kayaks made the experience even better.'

Ever stayed in a yurt? This isn't rough camping: it's fully insulated for every season, complete with a private shower room and a kitchenette. Just outside sits a private wooden hot tub, warm day and night, all year round. Spend a romantic couple of days like modern nomads, and take time to connect with the resident horses. You can:

• ride out into the countryside together if you're experienced riders
• learn natural horsemanship and take a quiet walk alongside the horses if you're new to riding
• arrange an outdoor photo session in the open meadows with the hosts

'A fantastic atmosphere and lovely owners who clearly adore animals and are genuinely passionate about what they do. Always helpful and ready to give advice. The yurt is wonderfully cosy and beautifully finished inside, with a skylight over the mezzanine where you can watch the stars. Just remember warm layers in winter. The outdoor hot tub surrounded by snow was the highlight of our stay. The hosts kindly checked if we liked cats, and the resident ones were very sweet and friendly. Being close to the horses and having the chance to ride was amazing.'

If your idea of a restful break involves musical instruments, brushes, or pottery clay, pack your supplies and head to Poborszów in southwestern Poland. Within the brick walls of a restored former bakery, you'll have all the space you need to let your imagination wander:

• share an evening date by the fire pit or bake pizza in the wood-fired stone oven
• browse local flea markets and village produce stalls
• spend lazy hours making things together in the garden or the woodstove-heated studio

Looking for a quick getaway from Warsaw where you won't bump into another soul? Head out to the Sona reservoir, set among vines and quiet water. It's a peaceful spot with good wine and a long tradition of welcoming couples who come back to:

• shut out the world and curl up with a book from the well-stocked library
• unwind in the private sauna and hot tub
• take a morning swim in the pond and paddle a kayak towards the sunset in the afternoon

'A wonderful stay. The cottage is charming and has real character. We spent two blissful days and nights enjoying the sauna, the fireplace, the outdoor hot tub, and the book collection. But what made the biggest impression was the hospitality. Ola and Grzegorz are open-hearted, inspiring, and easy-going hosts whose passion shines through in every corner of the property. Perfect for anyone looking for an authentic escape.'

How about a trip down to Poland's greatest river? Head past the city embankments to the untamed Vistula (Wisła), where wild sandbanks and quiet water meadows will surprise you. Make time for simple pleasures you don't get at home:

• cooking slow meals on a traditional regional tiled stove
• soaking in an open-air bathtub under the sky (there's one each, so no debating the water temperature)
• a late-night picnic beneath a pitch-black sky, well away from Warsaw's city lights
