The Best Holiday Homes across Europe!
Slip from the sauna to the indoor Jacuzzi or shared heated pool at this luxe family wellness retreat in the hills near Zagreb.
Set among the vineyards and meadows of Gornja Stubica, this spacious holiday home for 8 is arranged so that every day moves at spa pace. Wellness anchors the house rather than decorating it: a private sauna for slow winter evenings, a dedicated indoor Jacuzzi room for mornings that start gently. Outside, a heated shared pool lures you into relaxation amidst leafy grounds, ringed with sun loungers. The open-plan living area gathers everyone around a deep corner sofa and long dining table, with a fireplace and wood-burning stove turning the cooler months into an asset, and full air conditioning smoothing the summer ones.
The rarest comfort here is privacy within togetherness. Each bedroom works as its own studio suite, with a double bed, a kitchenette and an en-suite bathroom apiece, so three couples or branches of the family can keep their own rhythms and still meet for dinner. The main kitchen carries the evenings effortlessly (dishwasher, coffee machine, American fridge freezer), and when the family tournament calls, table tennis, table football, darts and a children's playground settle the generations' scores. Castles, thermal spas and Zagreb's day-trip pleasures wait in the hills beyond, but the truth of this house is that nobody will be in a hurry to leave it.

Location
This holiday home sits in the countryside of Gornja Stubica, in Hrvatsko Zagorje, the storybook region of green hills, vineyards and castles north of Zagreb. The village is home to Oršić Castle and its Museum of the Peasant Revolt, one of the region's landmark sights, while the thermal spas of Stubičke Toplice, beloved by locals for their warm mineral pools, are just a short drive away. The great pilgrimage basilica of Marija Bistrica, Croatia's most important Marian shrine, also makes an easy outing.
Nature lovers have the trails of Medvednica Nature Park within easy reach, with hiking and cycling routes threading the hills between Zagorje and Zagreb, and a supermarket sits a few minutes' drive away in the village. Zagreb itself is close enough for a spontaneous day trip to the capital's museums, markets and café squares. The nearest international airport is Zagreb's Franjo Tuđman Airport, approximately a 45-minute drive from this holiday home in Gornja Stubica.
Unfortunately, pets are not permitted at this property.
Free Cancellation (full refund) until 7 days prior to arrival

Everything! The villa is beautiful, spacious, spotless and very well equipped. The pool, sauna and jacuzzi are wonderful, but for us the location made it even more special. The peace and quiet, the vineyards, the beautiful views and the sunsets were amazing. Lidija and Miro gave us such a warm welcome. During our stay we had most contact with Lidija, and her kindness and genuine hospitality made us feel at home from the very first moment. She was always there if we needed anything, while at the same time giving us complete privacy. You can really feel that she enjoys welcoming people and wants her guests to have a wonderful stay. We stayed here with two families and had more than enough space. It was the perfect ending to our holiday in Croatia and we left with very special memories.
