Polonia

Mazovia & Podlasie


With a fine, tree-shaded location overlooking the Stary Rynek, Polonia is a one-stop shop of hospitality. It cooks up a variety of Polish dishes in a restored 18th-century building. Or treat yourself to 'chicken provençal', served in memory of Napoleon's 1806 visit to Łowicz.

Enjoy the lovely terrace and/or bed down in one of the many comfortable rooms in this three-story heritage building.
