Miasteczko Galicyjskie

Top choice in Carpathian Mountains


'Galician Town', a faithful reproduction of a township in the former Austro-Hungarian province of Galicia, gives overnighters the option to stay in a reproduced Galician house from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Austro-Hungarian provincial picturesque marries well with modern comforts such as excellent baths and beds, and the buffet breakfast is one of the best around.
