Accommodation: A farm near Rakovic The farmstead is tucked away among the wooded hills of Plitvice National Park. Hosts Vlado and Zdenka rebuilt the property following the civil war that rocked the region in the early 1990s. The rooms are simple and clean, the architectural style with its curved arches harmonizes with the idyllic countryside in which the property is nestled. Two covered verandas provide excellent places to read or simply relax. It won't take long to discover why the pleasant B&B is named "Ruhige Lage," which means "tranquil location" in German. After a good night's sleep, guests can look forward to a hearty Croatian breakfast with plenty of ham, salami, eggs, cheese and homemade bread. |

The building is a listed landmark protected by UNESCO. The bedrooms are simple yet elegant. The in-house restaurant offers Dalmatian cuisine, which can be enjoyed in the shady courtyard. |

Accommodation: a farmhouse near Monzuno When Alice and Daniele discovered the 17th century farm several years ago, the property was in ruins. The pair fell in love with the place nonetheless, captivated by the views of the most beautiful valleys in Emilia Romagna. The estate has since been painstakingly restored and now serves as an exclusive guesthouse with six bedrooms. The rooms are named after various periods of the day and night, and the names are reflected in the décor. The lounge with a log fireplace and the pleasant courtyard complete the picture. Bologna is a 35-minute drive away, or guests may simply choose to relax, read a book, go for a walk, ride a bike or play golf. There is a selection of good trattorias in the vicinity, as well as the golf club restaurant featuring local cuisine. |
