From turquoise coastlines and ancient cities to lush forests and cascading lakes, Croatia is a country where natural beauty meets living history. It's a place where every region offers something unique — whether you're sipping wine in Istria, walking the old walls of Dubrovnik, island-hopping through Dalmatia, or discovering the inland magic of Plitvice Lakes and central Croatia.
And nestled quietly in the heart of this diversity lies House Wisteria — a peaceful retreat in the village of Rakovica, just minutes from one of Croatia’s most iconic natural wonders.
A Country of Contrasts and Discovery
Croatia isn’t just about the coast. While cities like Split, Zadar, and Rovinj have become popular with travelers, the inland regions remain Croatia’s best-kept secret. Central Croatia is where you’ll find deep forests, wide valleys, charming villages, and some of the country’s most breathtaking landscapes — without the crowds.
The highlight, of course, is Plitvice Lakes National Park. With 16 lakes connected by waterfalls and wooden paths, it’s often described as Europe’s version of a fairytale forest. And yet, beyond the park’s boundaries, the surrounding region — including Rakovica — offers a slower pace and an authentic experience of Croatian countryside life.
Experience Croatia Like a Local
More and more travelers are choosing to go beyond the guidebook and explore Croatia through its villages, nature trails, and small guest homes. This shift toward meaningful, slower travel is what inspired the creation of House Wisteria — a home built for those who want more than just a place to sleep.
Here, you're not staying in a hotel — you're settling into a space filled with care, calm, and a connection to the landscape. After a day of hiking or sightseeing, you can relax in your private sauna, soak in the hot tub, or watch the sunset from the garden terrace.
It’s not just about visiting Croatia — it’s about feeling at home in it.
