Minorca has become known for a special variety of hand-molded cow’s-milk cheeses that are made only here. To learn more and sample some of the cheese at its source, visit the Mahón-Menorca Cheese Museum at the Hort Sant Patrici farmstead. The museum is part of Agroturismo Ca Na Xini, and the same location is home to a winery, a restaurant and a boutique hotel, Ca Na Xini, in a historic mansion.

The Polish lake district, in the northeast of the country (known as the Warmia/Masuria province), is an agrarian wonderland. There are more than 2,000 lakes in the region, and it’s a popular weekend getaway for Warsovians. Opened in 2015, Kwaśne Jabłko, in a tiny village called Włodowo, is a friendly, beautiful place to spend some lake district days. A working farm and apple cider production facility, the guesthouse is run by a young couple with two children. (In fact, the place is incredibly kid-friendly.) Rooms are spacious and beautifully designed, with spare, rustic furnishings and slate-tiled bathrooms. Hearty breakfasts and dinners, served around the long communal table that opens out to a big deck, are prepared by Marcin and Ewa with fresh-from-the-garden produce and local meat. Take home some of their apple cider as a gift—they just started full production this year and hope to expand in the future, as you’ll see from the freshly planted apple orchard.
