Holiday House in Nature with Pool, Pr Matažič — Hotel in Cerklje na Gorenjskem

I don’t want to recommend this place to just anyone—only to those who truly deserve it! This is a sanctuary for those who want to immerse themselves fully: to stay in and savor every corner, to cook delicious meals, enjoy the pool, soak in the breathtaking views, relax on the terrace, fire up the grill, and, most importantly, honor the soul of the house. I never imagined I would find a place that feels like a true piece of peace.

I want my family, my friends, and my valued business partners to rent this house, visit it, and experience the magic it can bring into your life. It’s more than just a getaway—it’s a place that transforms and uplifts you, leaving an unforgettable mark on your heart.

We have truly found our dream house.

This is a piece of paradise where you can disconnect from reality, reconnect with nature, and step back in time. It’s the perfect retreat, especially for those with dogs, as it’s incredibly pet-friendly.

Upon our arrival, Maja and Primos welcomed us warmly with a local schnapps made from walnuts harvested from the 50 walnut trees on their property. They gave us a tour of the house, and we were instantly captivated—it was exactly what we had envisioned for our escape from December 24th to 29th. It was the perfect place to unplug and recharge.

The stove is fantastic, keeping the house cozy and warm for 2-3 days on a single load, though there’s regular heating available as well.

We were blessed with five sunny, cloudless days, and spent hours in the garden each day. Sitting in the hanging chair, watching our dogs run freely, and soaking in the fresh 10-15°C weather was absolute bliss. The landscape, sunrise, and sunset are all breathtaking—truly picture-perfect.

The house is fully equipped with everything you might need. The kitchen has all the essentials, and there’s even a vinyl player. We brought some records with us, listening to Carmina Burana for a dramatic flair before switching to Julio Iglesias (in German!). Next year, we plan to bring some Christmas vinyls to add to the magic.

We spent three peaceful days working on a 1,000-piece Harry Potter puzzle and cooked all our meals (with my husband’s mom leading the charge in the kitchen). From breakfast to dinner, we enjoyed homemade meals without ever wanting to leave the house. We ventured out only once to visit the nearby mountains, just a 30-minute drive away, where we spent a few hours admiring the scenery. Other than that, we stayed at the house, fully immersed in its tranquility.

Each season offers a new face to this beautiful place, and we’ve already decided to return throughout the year to experience it in every weather and mood. Though we’ve just returned home, both we and our dogs are already missing it. But knowing we’ll be back makes it easier to say goodbye.

Summers here must be incredible, with the lovely pool, grill area, vibrant flowers, and lush trees. The family even has their own veggie garden, and we can’t wait to try their homegrown organic vegetables during our next visit.

The upstairs yoga and meditation area was another highlight for me. I spent several moments meditating there, and it was a deeply replenishing and positive experience.

But the absolute best part? The night sky. With no artificial lights around, you can see a million stars. From the upstairs terrace, the stargazing is nothing short of magical, no matter the season.

Our five days of clear skies gave us perfect sunrises, sunsets, and star-filled nights. We’re excited to return and experience the many other moods and seasons this house has to offer.

This isn’t just a house—it’s become our favorite holiday retreat. Whether you come with family, friends, your dogs, or even alone, this is a sanctuary where you can truly disconnect, unwind, and leave the world behind. We can’t wait to come back.

And the hosts, Maja and Primos, are the loveliest superhosts! If I could give 6 stars, I absolutely would—they truly go...
