Ferienhaus Vila Mravljevi in Wippachtal, Branik / SI – Slovenia

Holiday home Vila Mravljevi

The Vila Mravljevi, in a small village in western Slovenia, con­sists of two houses: a typical regional stone farm­house and a new modern building. During the reno­vation of the farm­house, which dates back to 1880, its walls were torn out to create spa­cious rooms. But the rustic cha­racter of the building has been retained none­theless. What has been added are a steel spiral staircase and a 4‑meter high window, which floods the staircase with light. The walls are plas­tered with clay. The old building fea­tures a kitchen, a dining and living area (with a fire­place and wine stock) as well as three bed­rooms.

Across the cour­tyard with its large terrace, you reach the new building, which replaced the former dila­pi­dated out­building. It con­sists of a con­crete structure with large glazed areas and a facade of fiber cement. Its walls of old stone create a visual link to the old stone house. The new building includes a sauna and rela­xation room as well as a living room with a kitchen and sleeping loft. The high­light of this room is the floating fire­place in front of the fully glazed front side, which offers beau­tiful views of the karst plateau.

What to do

The area is known for its wineries and culinary delights, beautiful landscapes and sporting activities (hiking, fishing, biking, skydiving and rafting). The Adriatic coast and Brda, one of the best wine regions in Slovenia, are about 30 minutes away by car.

Why we like this house

The villa is a harmonious union of a lovingly renovated old stone house and its modern counterpart. Due to the division into two houses, the house is well suited for holidays with friends.

This house is great for

Couples, families, holidays with friends. Great for wine lovers!

Einfach traumhaft!
Wir hatten ein Traumhaus in Slo­wenien gebucht und unsere Erwar­tungen wurden noch über­troffen. Das lag nicht nur an den wun­der­schönen und geschmackvoll ein­ge­rich­teten Häusern. Auch der Pool und der groß­zügige Garten mit herr­licher Aus­sicht in die Land­schaft ist über­wäl­tigend. Die Küche samt eigenen Wein­keller ist mit allem was man sich wünscht aus­ge­stattet und es macht einfach Spaß gemeinsam zu kochen und den Abend auf der Ter­rasse zu genießen. Vielen Dank an Igor für die freund­liche Betreuung. Wir hatten eine wun­derbare Zeit und haben uns sehr wohl­ge­fühlt. Wir kommen sehr gern wieder, Gabriele + Alfred + Jenny (Hund)

Alfred Heinrich sagt:

Wir haben die Vila Mravljevi im Juli 2018 besucht. Über­wäl­tigend ist allein schon die wun­der­schöne Land­schaft, in der Banik und die Vila liegen. Und dann öffnet sich dieses Refugium in abso­luter Ruhe auf dem Gipfel eines kleinen Berges. Stil, Geschmack und Groß­zü­gigkeit machen den Auf­enthalt zu purer Erholung des Körpers und der Sinne. Bei hoch­som­mer­lichen Tem­pe­ra­turen konnten wir die Sauna und den Kamin getrost unge­nutzt lassen, dafür erlebten wir die beiden Häuser samt Pool und Garten in herr­licher Groß­zü­gigkeit. Unser Host Igor wusste auf alles eine Antwort, ansonsten konnten wir aber die Zeit allein sehr genießen. Danke für diese schöne zeit, unver­gesslich!
Wir kommen wieder!

Robert Rischke sagt:

Ein wun­der­schönes Haus in einem tollen Land — Slo­wenien ist eine echte Ent­de­ckung! Und da liegt die Villa absolut perfekt in der Mitte aller Schön­heiten dieses Landes.
Das Haus mit dem ein­ma­ligen Blick, dem Pool, der schönen Auf­teilung der Zimmer, der guten Archi­tektur — das rundet einen Urlaub in Branik noch ab.

Christian sagt:

Die Archi­tektur, das Design, die Ruhe — alles Urlaubs­ar­chi­tektur at its best. Aber: Der Blick aus dem Neubau: Das ist alleine ein Grund, die Tage dort zu ver­bringen.
Die umsichtige, zurück­hal­tende Für­sorge der Gast­geber unter­streichen den erhol­samen Cha­rakter dieses Ortes.….
Wun­derbar!
