Villa Otokar - Luxury villa with private pool, hot tub and huge garden

Villa Otokar
Space to gather. Privacy to unwind.

At Villa Otokar, luxury is not simply about beautiful interiors or exceptional amenities. It is about having the space to slow down, reconnect and enjoy time together — without ever feeling crowded.

Surrounded by meadows, orchards and forest, the villa offers complete privacy for families and groups of up to 14 guests. Here, mornings begin quietly, afternoons are made for the pool, and evenings stretch out beneath a sky untouched by city lights.

The Soul of the Villa

Built in 1915 and carefully restored before reopening in 2024, Villa Otokar combines the character of traditional Slovenian architecture with the comfort and refinement of a contemporary luxury retreat.

Original charm has been preserved while every detail has been thoughtfully adapted for modern living.

The result is a home that feels authentic, warm and timeless — a place with history, but designed entirely around the way you want to spend your holiday today.

Made for Being Together

Villa Otokar was created for shared moments.

Generous interiors, spacious bedrooms and inviting communal areas give up to 14 guests plenty of room to gather — and just as importantly, plenty of space to retreat when they want a little peace and quiet.

Large windows bring the surrounding countryside indoors, framing views of the orchard, meadows and forest throughout the day.

And in the morning, there are few better places to enjoy your first coffee than the upper terrace, watching the countryside slowly wake while the swimming pool glistens below.

Your Private Wellness Retreat

There is no need to leave the villa to find time for yourself.

Spend warm afternoons beside your private swimming pool, stay active in the outdoor fitness area, enjoy the warmth of the private sauna, or simply slow down and do nothing at all.

As evening falls, step into the hot tub and look up.

Far from the glow of the city, the stars become part of the experience.

Your spa. Your garden. Your time.

Between the Adriatic and Slovenia’s Wild Beauty

Villa Otokar feels wonderfully secluded, yet some of the region’s most beautiful destinations are surprisingly close.

Within approximately 20 minutes, you can reach the Adriatic coast and the elegant seaside towns of Opatija, Ičići and Lovran — perfect for swimming, waterfront lunches and long evenings by the sea.

A little farther away, unforgettable day trips await: the extraordinary Škocjan Caves, dramatic Predjama Castle, and the cafés, architecture and Italian atmosphere of Trieste.

And some days, there is no reason to drive anywhere.

Step outside the villa and discover quiet country roads, forest trails and beautiful routes for walking and cycling. The nearby village of Dolenje pri Jelšanah is only a short stroll away.

More Than a Stay

We want Villa Otokar to feel like your home in this beautiful corner of Slovenia.

We know the region personally and are always happy to help you experience more of it — whether you are looking for a memorable local restaurant, a beautiful cycling route, a day by the Adriatic, a boat trip to the Croatian islands or simply a special place that most visitors never discover.

Tell us what kind of holiday you have in mind, and we will gladly help you make the most of your stay.
