Dream in Green

Holiday Rental Description

Tucked into the mountains of the Croatian countryside stands Dream in Green. Where you can wake up to birds chirping, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy your morning coffee on the balcony as you admire the rolling Sveti Ivan Zelina hills that surround you. You won't feel like you're just a fourty-five-minute drive from Croatia's capital, Zagreb.

Although the style of this hillside home is simple, it's the outdoors that makes it shine. Whether you're sipping wine by the pool or playing football in the lush garden, you have everything you need for a restorative holiday.

If you fancy mixing it up, you could see more of the area with a day of hiking along one of Sveti Ivan Zelina's many trails or taking a punt at horseriding. There are also several vineyards in the area, which are a delight for the eyes as well as the tastebuds. Expect to sample some (or a lot!) of well-known favourites, such as Chardonnay, Yellow Muscat, and Rhine Riesling. You'll also find wines specific to the region, including Graševina and county Zagreb's trademark wine, Kraljevina.

When dinnertime rolls around, you can tuck into homemade pizza fresh from the wood fire oven. With pizzas just taking one to two minutes in the oven, it'll be hard to resist! Take it up to your outdoor dining area on the balcony for the perfect ending to a great day. Eating pizza and talking about the day you've had that'll one day become a treasured memory, as you watch the sunset dip behind the mountains around you.
