Luxury villa with private pool, hot tub and huge garden for groups of 14+ people
Picture this: a morning coffee in the stillness of our private park, an afternoon spent poolside, and an evening of local wine and BBQ under the stars.
At Villa Otokar, we don't just host groups; we provide the space for them to breathe. Experience a luxury stay where the garden feels infinite and the relaxation is absolute!
The Soul of the Villa Step into a piece of Slovenian heritage. Originally built in 1915 and meticulously restored for its 2024 debut, Villa Otokar is where timeless character meets modern luxury.
Surrounded by swaying meadows and deep forests, this isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a private estate designed for those who believe the best vacations happen when everyone is together under one roof.
Space to Breathe, Space to Gather With expansive interiors and sun-drenched rooms, the villa comfortably hosts your group of 14 without ever feeling crowded.
The View: Large windows frame the surrounding orchard and forest like living art.
The Morning Ritual: Head to the second-floor terrace with your coffee to watch the mist rise over the countryside while the pool sparkles below.
The "Social Hub": Our massive garden features a spacious event tent, perfect for long alfresco lunches, family celebrations, or moonlit dinners.
Your Private Wellness Oasis Why go to a spa when you own one for the week?
Cool Off: Dive into the private swimming pool.
Recharge: Hit the outdoor gym or find your zen in the mini-sauna.
Unwind: As the stars come out, sink into the hot tub. With no city lights to dim the view, the night sky here is spectacular.
The Best of the Adriatic & The Alps You are tucked away in total peace, yet perfectly connected to Europe’s most beautiful corners:
Coastline: In just 20 minutes, you can be lounging on the iconic beaches of Opatija, Ičići, or Lovran.
Culture & Adventure: Within an hour’s drive, explore the mystery of Škocjan Caves, the cliff-hanging Predjama Castle, or the vibrant Italian flair of Trieste.
Nature at Your Door: Step outside for hiking and cycling, or take a short 10-minute stroll into the local village of Dolenje.
A Note from Your Hosts We are passionate about our region and want you to fall in love with it, too. Whether you need a reservation at a hidden local konoba, a boat trip to the Croatian islands, or the best cycling route through the forest, we are here to help you craft the perfect itinerary.

About the host
Hosted by Ema
Hello!
My name is Tina, and I am delighted to be one of your hosts at Villa Otokar. To me, hosting isn't just about providing a beautiful home; it’s about the joy of meeting new people, sharing our vibrant Slovenian culture, and ensuring your group creates memories that last a lifetime.
My Passion for Life & Culture I have always been a person who loves to move—whether I am dancing, exploring new cultures, or meeting travelers from around the globe. I believe that a great vacation should have its own rhythm: a balance of high-energy fun and deep, quiet relaxation. I bring that same positive energy to my role as your host.
A Personal Welcome & Local Support I believe the luxury experience starts with a human connection. That is why I will be waiting for you personally the moment you arrive at Villa Otokar.
From your first step onto the property, I am here to be your dedicated point of contact. Whether you need help navigating the villa's amenities, tips on the best local hiking trails, or support with your itinerary, I am just a message away. I want you to feel that you have a "local friend" in Slovenia who is here to make your stay effortless.
The "Villa Otokar" Breakfast Experience I know that for a group of 14, mornings should be slow and stress-free. To make your stay even more special, I can organize a custom breakfast service for your group upon request. Imagine waking up to a spread of fresh, local Slovenian ingredients—artisanal breads, regional cheeses, and seasonal fruits—served in our garden tent or on the sun-drenched terrace. It is the perfect way to fuel up before a day of exploring the Adriatic coast or the nearby forests.
Why I Love What I Do There is a special magic in seeing a heritage home like Villa Otokar filled with the laughter of families and friends. I am honored to help facilitate your celebrations and quiet getaways. I look forward to welcoming you to our meadow-side paradise and showing you the very best of our hospitality!
