Stay in the Kuća

‘the main house’

The Kuća (pronounced “KOO-cha”) is our home, which we share with guests from early summer to autumn. It has 4 guest bedrooms, beautifully furnished in timeless style each with their own wash-basin. Each bedroom shares a bathroom and WC with one other room.

Each room features shuttered windows that look out across surrounding hills and forests, perfect for nature spotting. If you are staying during the colder months our classic cast-iron radiators and log-burning stoves will keep you warm. During the hot summers the thick stone walls, solid wood shutters and fans will keep you cool.

All bookings for guests staying in the Kuća include a generous breakfast served on the terrace or in the “konoba”. Most guests also join our sociable dinners, offered on Wednesday and Saturday evenings, when we prepare a communal three course meal. Please book a minimum of two days in advance. And if you’d like to spend more evenings on the terrace or by the fire, drinks and snack boards are available on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings.

If you would like to prepare meals for yourself please book the Kućica, which is self-catering.

For those keen to cook with us, and staying longer (a week or more), it may be possible to book a cooking class or activity with Anna (offered occasionally, usually on Tuesdays or Fridays, subject to availability).

The Kuća will suit anyone looking for rural tranquility and makes a great base for exploring the region. Our guests enjoy day-trips to the coast and nearby hilltop towns, beautiful early summer and autumn walks and cycle rides, making the most of the area’s fantastic restaurants and wineries, and back at Bolara 60 meeting others, dining together and sharing the terrace and garden spaces.

The Kuća is a shared house, where guests join us to appreciate a peaceful rural area. Quiet hours are between 10:30pm and 8:30am.

With apologies to the parents of little children, the Kuća is not suitable for children under the age of 8. Guests of all ages are very welcome in the self-catering Kućica at any time of year.

So as not to disturb other guests we do not allow guests to bring pets to the Kuća at any time. Our own cats are not allowed in guest bedrooms, and naturally we keep them away from indoor cooking and dining activities, so those with mild allergies should not suffer. If you have a severe cat allergy we suggest you book the Kućica, in which cats are not allowed. Both the Kuća and Kućica are non-smoking.
