The House is a restored antique house which represents a collision of traditional and modern. The original idea of the owner was the desire to remodel the house so that it maintains the original floor plan and 19th century features. Therefore, the elements stored in the house, are restored at different stages. The house is equipped with Biedermier furniture with elements of Neo-Baroque, which largely evokes the period from the 19th and the first half of the 20th century. During the restoration of the building, only natural materials were used. Particular emphasis is placed on the Istrian stone Kanfanar, solid wood and old brick which offer warmth in the tavern, along with a fireplace and stone kitchen. The facility as such provides the maximum atmosphere in contact with natural materials which complements the Mediterranean plants with its aromas and essential oils. The modern elements of the house are complementary to the traditional spirit which means that they allow the visitor a pleasant stay in a ventilated and sunlit area. The House is an air-conditioned property. It has satellite television, WiFi and private parking. The house has its own Wellness area with showers and a sauna. It also has a private winery with labels from the region’s top winemakers. There is also a library with books in many foreign languages and a gallery collection with paintings by some of the most famous Yugoslav artists. Home security is guaranteed by safes and surveillance cameras that are active 24/7. The House is more than just a holiday house. On its terraces and in the decorated interior, in an intimate setting, you can spend an ideal vacation with your family and friends. The cultural spirit that the house offers with its entire historical heritage guarantees you a rich and quality holiday. At the core of the original idea is the owner’s desire that each visitor takes with them a portion of what The House has to offer, from any segment of its wealth. From the tradition and art.

The House 1838 is my personal project. It is more than 180 years old. Renovated offers a higher level of tourism where our guests can easily feel the tradition and culture of the region. During the renovation, we used only natural materials (stone, wood and old brick). The house is also equipped with modern technology (air conditioning, heating), which makes it possible to stay in the building throughout the year. The house has its own library, gallery (54 original paintings by authors from the former Yugoslavia) and a wine cellar. It also has a small gym with a sauna.Our guests have literally everything in the house. From bedding and towels to beach equipment. Since my wife and I are avid gourmets and wine connoisseurs, we always cook a welcome dinner for our guests, which we serve on our beautiful terrace with a view of the Kvarner bay (in winter by the fireplace in the kitchen). The facility as such is suitable for holidays and/or themed gatherings, cuisine and wine tastings. In the wine cellar, we always have at least 200 labels from the best winemakers from the region. All our guests, when visiting The House 1838, take away with them a good mood and a lot of knowledge about the local culture, cuisine and traditions of the city of Kraj.
