Although many people associate summer holidays with seaside pleasures, more and more people are choosing to spend their vacations in places where they can hide from unbearable heat and enjoy untouched nature. One of them is interior designer Lana Banely (39), who is relaxing at Villa Arka located in Ravna Gora, less than an hour and a half drive from Zagreb.
"What a piece of paradise in Ravna Gora. For all those wanting to escape the city bustle, crowded beaches, and find their peace in the middle of a pine forest," wrote the former athlete on Instagram alongside photos and videos of the villa, which she described as a "fairy tale."
The accommodation itself spans 400 square meters and ensures complete privacy, hidden in the woods with a spacious yard. The villa has four bedrooms and as many as six bathrooms, as well as an open space where the kitchen and living room are located. However, what truly stands out are the outdoor amenities such as an open pool, mini gym, sauna, hot tub, minibar, and tennis court.
The decor mostly resembles the so-called "mid-century modern" interior design style, characterized by simple lines and arranging the space so that it blends as much as possible with the surrounding nature. Large, light-filled rooms, wooden elements, and a neutral yet warm color palette create a homely atmosphere that is otherwise hard to find in rental holiday homes.
Private Oasis
As soon as you wake up in one of the bedrooms, you are greeted by a soothing view of the forest surrounding the villa, while lunch, unless you catch rain, can be enjoyed at the large table in the yard itself, or on the spacious covered terrace, which is ideal for late evening as well as early morning gatherings.
This private oasis is ideal for spending quality time with your loved ones—whether friends or entire families. The villa can accommodate up to ten people and is especially popular among families with children.
The villa is available for rent and accommodation can be booked via Booking.
