Top choice in Zagorje
This Hansel & Gretel–style retreat in the hills, 35km from Zagreb, is in a traditional cottage made of 120-year-old oak wood. There are orchards, vineyards, an organic garden and a hammock, while inside you'll find a wood oven and colourful rustic decor. A long wooden table outside and a barbecue make ‘the little house’ a hit with families and groups of friends.
There are occasional yoga retreats, photography workshops and other fun events.
