Pensjonat Mikołajki

Top choice in The Great Masurian Lakes


In this part of Poland, accommodation is all about lake views, and if you book early here that’s precisely what you’ll get. But the other surprisingly contemporary rooms aren’t bad either − all are fragrant with new furniture and boast well-maintained bathrooms. Small discounts for stays of four nights.
