This charming wooden cottage has come straight out of a children’s fairytale. Set on the hillside, looking out over the Krka river valley, amongst vineyards, the cottage is an excellent base for a relaxing holiday, in the famously beautiful region of Dolenjska.
Built into the side of the hill, the cottage has a wine cellar and the main living area is on the first floor, with a large, semi-covered terrace in front. Here guests can dine al fresco and enjoy the truly magnificent views. Inside is furnished with a comfortable sofa, a traditional wood-burning stove, flatscreen TV, and a dining table for 4 people. The open-plan kitchen is well-equipped with an induction hob, oven, microwave, fridge/freezer and toaster.
In the attractive garden, there is a swing and other children’s toys are available, plus sun loungers for adults.
The owners are working towards making the property more sustainable, with steps such as single-use plastic banned, recycling bins provided, double glazing and water-efficient toilets.
