Why not branch off from the norm and set yourself up in an old nobleman's castle? The Zamek Korzkiew is located in picturesque countryside just outside Cracow, and the interiors have been tastefully renovated to combine Old World style with modern convenience. There is excellent hiking and cycling available in the nearby Ojcow National Park, whilst Cracow itself is a 15 minute taxi ride away. There are five chambers to choose from (480 zloty per night with breakfast), each with a mix of antique and modern furnishings and lavish bathrooms. The ambience should feel more authentic than most as the owner is himself a Polish nobleman.
"What a wonderful place. Certainly deserving of the fairy-tale epithet. Charmingly decorated chambers, and big baths to relax in. Lovely views from the windows and a colossal breakfast to set you up for the day. Warm but discreet service. A winner. "

"What an incredible place! It was a bit of a leap into the unknown but we were delighted we took the leap. Very atmospheric castle with exquisite furniture. Epic breakfasts. Large bathrooms. Staff charming. Must surely be unique in Poland. We'd go back at the drop of a hat. Wonderful."

"Very romantic place!!! My boyfriend and I have stayed there only one night but will remember it for ever. We stayed in Syrokomla apartment and that was beautiful. There is a fireplace in the apartment and you can light it yourself. We had nice walks in the Park and to the church. In the morning we were served a hearty breakfast. The staff was really helpful, especially Mr. Piotr and Mrs. Justyna. The trip takes you only 15 min from Krakow city but it is worth it. I highly recommend this place!!!"

"The place is really unique and first class, I had my wedding reception there. 15 mins taxi ride is stretched though. More like 30, at least."
