There’s something truly magical about immersing oneself in nature. The tranquility, fresh air, and calming effect of the wilderness are the ultimate remedies for a stressed mind and weary body. In today’s fast-paced world, where we are constantly surrounded by noise and distractions, nature remains the best healer. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape to breathe in some fresh air and relax in the beauty of the outdoors, then Villa Unelma in Gorski Kotar is the perfect retreat.

A Hidden Gem in Gorski Kotar

Tucked away in the pristine wilderness of Gorski Kotar, Villa Unelma offers a secluded haven on a sprawling 4,000-square-meter estate. This villa provides absolute privacy throughout the year, making it an ideal destination for those who seek a quiet and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Although it feels like a world away, it is conveniently located just an hour’s drive from Zagreb, making it a perfect weekend getaway or a longer retreat to recharge and unwind.

The fresh mountain air that surrounds Villa Unelma is a key feature, providing a breath of rejuvenating energy for every guest. Whether you're looking to reconnect with nature, enjoy the stunning landscapes, or simply breathe in the unpolluted air, this villa is a sanctuary for the soul.

Scandinavian Style Meets Warmth

One of the standout features of Villa Unelma is its stunning Scandinavian-inspired design. Drawing inspiration from Nordic nature and the original Finnish HONKA homes, the villa’s architecture and interior blend minimalism with warmth. Predominantly decorated in shades of grey, the interior creates a calm and cool atmosphere. But don't let that fool you into thinking the space is cold—quite the opposite. The use of natural wood throughout the house adds a warmth that beautifully balances the modern, clean aesthetic. This fusion of grey tones and wood is not just elegant but feels cozy and inviting.

Amenities Designed for Comfort

Villa Unelma is equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay. The spacious living room is air-conditioned and features a wood-burning fireplace that sets the perfect mood for long, cozy evenings. Whether you're sharing a bottle of wine with loved ones or enjoying some peaceful time alone, the fireplace is the heart of the home, offering warmth and ambiance.

The villa features a fully equipped kitchen, making it easy to prepare your favorite meals. There are three separate bedrooms, two with double beds and one with two single pull-out beds, offering ample sleeping space for family or friends. Two modern bathrooms ensure that everyone has the comfort and privacy they need.

Additional amenities include a sauna and a hot tub, with the hot tub nestled in the heart of the forest near the house, hidden from view, offering the perfect way to relax after a day spent exploring the natural surroundings. And for those who enjoy a little entertainment, the villa also offers a PlayStation, adding a fun element for both kids and adults alike.

Outside, a spacious terrace awaits, where you can start your day with a cup of coffee, breathing in the crisp mountain air while surrounded by nature. A large parking area, barbecue, badminton nets, and a children's playground make this villa an excellent choice for families, even during the summer months.

Explore the Surroundings

Villa Unelma is located in the charming area of Stari Laz, a small village in the Gorski Kotar region, part of the Ravna Gora municipality. Stari Laz sits in a picturesque valley surrounded by hills covered in beech and fir forests, offering stunning views and a sense of peace.
