Just like a sun-kissed face of freckles, this home with its patchwork of stones charms from its place among the untamed, native foliage. The trees not only add a beautiful touch of green, but it creates a welcome sense of seclusion that encourages guests to fully unwind in the privacy it offers. Start by letting go of every bit of stress as you float in the perfectly blue pool, or practice meditation from your position on the sunlounger. If food is what brings you comfort, then by all means, we urge you to grill fresh fish covered in a light sprinkling of salt and touch a of herbs – we’ve heard it’s the Mediterranean way.

There’s beauty to be found all around, so go forth and explore, but try your best to make time for Gradec Castle. Only a thirteen-minute walk away, the ruins, that can be dated back to the 1100s, still stand but are easily missed because of the thick surrounding forest, so be sure to keep a lookout. There's also a small beach in the opposite direction rumoured to be for nudists, so we'll leave you to do what you will with that information.
