Poland Hotel Tip Text Size A A A

On a recent journey, Vosges Haut-Chocolat founder Katrina Markoff discovered a special property in Gdansk:

“I was in Gdansk and stayed at the Dwor Oliwski (www.dwor-oliwski.com), located in an old 17th-century home in a huge national park. You can go hiking for miles and hunt for morels in September. While I was walking one day, I found a magical gardening community with colorful miniature houses that had steep roofs and little round windows. It was like a scene from a fairy tale. The restaurant at the Dwor Oliwki was great. It was rooted in French cooking but highlighted typical Polish fare. My favorite soup was called Zurek, which was made with potato, white kielbasa (sausage), a hard-boiled egg and served in a bread bowl.”
