Location
In a small hamlet, in the Samobor Hills west of Zagreb, this cottage is an ideal base to explore the wonderful countryside of the Zumberak Samoborsko gorje nature park. There are hiking and cycling trails to enjoy the forests, hills and meadows nearby. The area is also known for its vineyards, and there are many wineries for visitors to try award-winning wines and eat delicious local cuisine.

The lovely town of Samobor is 30 minutes away. Samobor is known for its excellent food and relaxed atmosphere. It also hosts many events including a Salami festival, a Spring festival and a night run.

The capital city, Zagreb (50 mins away), is well worth a visit. In addition to all the practical amenities, such as supermarkets and banks, it has many museums; a beautiful cathedral; a daily market (opens 6.30 am) selling the freshest local produce, ideal for self-catering and even a flea market (Sundays) in Britanski trg. Franjo Tudman International Airport in Zagreb is a 45-minute drive away.
