Staying in place,
that embraces you
and breathes with you

Rest for your body and soul

Connection to 
natural architecture

The organic interior conjures up a completely new, unique experience of everything physical and metaphysical. Soft lines as the waves of the sea soften the view and give lightness to thoughts, natural materials gently caress us when touched, etherealness of materials taken from nature carry the smell of dried straw, grain, soil into the interior of the room.

In the land of hospitality

The cottage is located in the Landscape Park of Goričko, surrounded by a beautiful garden which lives the life of its own, inviting the visitor to an unforgettable experience of Prekmurje. The land of hospitality offers breathtaking nature and wide views across the endless plains and hillocks of an unspoiled landscape. Trees as pillars open the door to fairy-tale forests, where the song of migratory birds echoes, storks nest on chimneys and the smell of local goodies invites you into the houses of good people.

Time for yourself

The cottage invites you to a green rest on the edge of the village, to a complete break from everyday life. In a peaceful environment, in an atmosphere of trust and loving affection of unspoiled nature, you will find a place for both, residential and spiritual rebirth. As the flight of seagull in a standstill, the property presents a buoyant wind of joy and energy! The inner experience of the Eco house and the landscape is full of hidden sensations which spread in front of us as a poetic fairy tale, the blossoming blue of forgotten days.
Alja!
The cottage exceeded our expectations. She welcomed us with all the beauty and warmth. Peace and quiet... wonderful coexistence...
Thank you!
With tears in our eyes, we leave the "oasis" with a promise to get together again next year.

This magical cottage is a magical creature, indeed. It holds, invites, softens and truly provides a safe space... The silence is full of the sounds of nature, it's beautiful.
Thank you for the consciously created space <3

There are moments when it is necessary to escape from the rest of the world and look inward in silence. This magical cottage makes it possible. This time it did not unite, but separate. That's part of life, too. But it accepted the pain softly, like a friend who has known you for a long time... All natural materials call back to the heart, soul and nature.
Grateful. I'll be back.

Dear Alja and lovely cottage.
You reminded me that I am even more aware of where I belong and who I am. Friendliness, airiness, view of nature, contact with the soil, smell, sounds... HOME.
It was nice.
Thank you <3
May it continue to fulfill its purpose.

Loving hands make a miracle of soil

I have been enthusiastic about nature and all its gifts since forever. During my architecture studies I explored how people can, during our sojourn on the Earth, interfere into nature as little as possible. Then I met a Natural Building. It enabled me to get a wide and detailed insight in the world that surrounds us and provides us so many living building materials. In a Prekmurje region, these are straw, wood, clay, sand and lime – all available in the wonderful nature around us.

Thus, with the help of many dilligent and loving hands, the cottage named Gorička Lepotička – Eco house (Little Beauty of Goričko) has been arisen. The house breathes in coexistence with Nature and Human and awards us with well-being of our spirits and bodies over and over again.

I am glad that I can share it with you.
