Recently, more and more people are looking for peace and quiet. They are looking for places to rest, where they can get back to nature and enjoy those small, simple things that we often forget about. Looking for the perfect location for such a vacation, we discovered many charms of the wonderful Gorski Kotar. That irresistible nature and unreal colors that blend into real visual magic are a natural paradise for all those who want true and complete relaxation.
While we were exploring all the hidden beauties of this magical part of our beautiful country, we came across a wonderful house that offers a person everything that could complete a perfect holiday in nature.
Casa Foresta: A Perfect Retreat for Nature Lovers
Casa Foresta is located in Mrkopalj - a beautiful small mountain village on the western slopes of Velika Kapela. This stunning, modern beauty consists of a kitchen, living room, an spacious dining room, two bathrooms, three bedrooms, and our favorite part - the spa area that includes a hydromassage pool and a sauna. Next to the house (and connected by a terrace on two sides), there is a beautiful tavern that also belongs to the house, and in it, you can bake, grill, cook or simply enjoy conversations with dear people and a glass of your favorite drink.
In the kitchen, you can find absolutely everything you may need during your stay - from glasses, cups, plates, and cutlery to cooking utensils, coffee machines, various foods, aids, and tools - everything a guest could need was thought of here. Did I mention that the kitchen window overlooks a wonderful children's playground that belongs to Foresta and is located in a fenced area? The park consists of a house, two swings, slide and is a real children's kingdom hidden in the canopies of centuries-old trees that are home to various birds and a few squirrels that you can often meet in the yard while drinking your first sips of coffee in the fresh, mountain air bathed in the most beautiful sun.

A Cozy and Charming Hideaway
Two bedrooms have their own balconies, and one has hidden various children's toys, board games, great books, and many other exciting and useful things that you will have to discover for yourself. In the rooms and bathroom, you will find a large number of towels of various sizes, bathrobes, hand creams, soaps, shampoos, and hair dryers - absolutely every detail has been thought of here, and you can hardly wish for something without finding it here.
During the warmer months (from April to October), in the house's courtyard, there are sofas, deckchairs, tables, and, the best part - a large, spacious, heated swimming pool with hydromassage functions.
The house is located in an incredibly peaceful and quiet location where you can enjoy great privacy and peace. The only ones who will keep you company are birds, squirrels, and the occasional doe or deer that you can meet a few meters from the house and simply enjoy the view of the magical coexistence of nature and animals. As someone who has been in tourism for a long time, I would like to highlight one of the best things about accommodation. Hosts. The owner of Foresta, Ms. Ani, is one of the kindest and most helpful hosts I have ever met - and I have met many. At Foresta, you will be welcomed and seen off as if you were the most important person in the world - every guest feels like a king there.
Therefore, if you want a dream vacation, choose Gorski Kotar as your destination and stay at Casa Foresta - and trust us that after this experience, you will believe that heaven on earth is absolutely possible to find.
