Surrounded by rolling countryside, this modern home in the heart of Slum village offers a quiet escape for families and groups of friends alike. Inside, it’s a combination of traditional features and contemporary furnishings – we loved the exposed stone walls, timber beams and sleek grey and white colour palette. The open-plan living space makes entertaining a breeze – effortlessly keep up with conversations as you tend to breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen.

Spend afternoons lolling on the loungers or floating about in the private pool. When you get peckish, there’s a barbecue for grilled lunches in the sunshine. Once you’re ready for a change of surroundings, jump in the car and drive for twenty minutes to the hilltop town of Buzet, Croatia’s truffle capital. Stretch your legs with a hike along forest paths before enjoying a craft beer in a local brewery.
