Nestled within the spectacular natural beauty of the Kočevje forests, Villa Taja offers up to ten guests the opportunity to enjoy a truly relaxing and rejuvenating retreat in stunning southeastern Slovenia. Designed with comfort, nourishment and slow living in mind, the contemporary four-bedroom property was sustainably constructed in 2022, with a unique location amidst the ruins of the ancient village of Sredgora in Kočevje. Natural materials such as locally sourced stone and wood from the surrounding oak forests give the villa its harmonious feel, while a range of modern facilities including a Finnish sauna and an outdoor jacuzzi provide guests with plenty of contemporary comfort. With beautiful hiking and biking trails on your doorstep, Villa Taja is the ideal place to step back into nature with your loved ones whilst enjoying an unforgettable holiday experience in the Slovenian countryside.
Begin each morning in the villa’s sunny courtyard, where you can sip a freshly brewed cup of coffee as you breathe in the forest air and admire the greenery of the herb and vegetable garden. Spend the rest of the day hiking in the peaceful forest or relaxing in the expansive garden in the warm sunshine. The villa offers plenty of space for family fun and games. When evening comes, you can enjoy a sunset dip in the outdoor jacuzzi, where you will feel the day’s adventures melt away in the soothing waters. Villa Taja’s terrace features a well-appointed summer kitchen with barbecue facilities, ideal for family gatherings during the warmer months. Later on, everyone can come together to relax by the warm glow of the outdoor firepit as the stars begin to appear.
Inside Villa Taja, guests will find a welcoming open-plan living space, featuring a cosy lounge area with comfortable sofas, a home library, a stove and idyllic forest views. Adjacent to the lounge area is a charming dining area, where everyone can enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal whilst discussing the day’s adventures. The villa’s spacious contemporary kitchen offers custom-made furniture and a range of modern appliances, with a selection of excellent local wines and products from local food producers also available on site. Suspended above the lounge area, there is a quirky hammock-style net on the first floor, providing you with the perfect place to relax with a good book or enjoy a quiet family moment.
The villa features four double bedrooms, each offering a restful ambience and relaxed, understated décor that perfectly encapsulates the effortless natural beauty of the surrounding area. Two modern bathrooms with walk-in showers are also available at Villa Taja. After a day spent hiking in the woodlands or cycling in the countryside, a visit to the villa’s private Finnish sauna is a great way to unwind before dinner. The lower part of the villa is a service space used by Mojca, the host of Villa Taja, who is happy to bake fresh bread and prepare delicious meals using fresh local produce for guests to enjoy.
