Designed
for stillness

Nestled on a forested hillside above the village of Lič, Hillside Lodge is a private three-floor retreat designed with intention from the ground up, where every material has been carefully chosen and nothing left to chance.

The spa level sets the tone: a combined Harvia sauna with infrared and chromotherapy, a massage bath with chromotherapy and a rain shower, all framed by forest views. Above, the konoba opens to the sky through a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, where the warmth of stone, timber and open fire meets the forest beyond.

Kvarner's beaches are just 35 km away, the perfect pairing of sea and mountain in a single day.

Andrej Purkovic

★★★★★

Beyond the warm atmosphere this house surely offers, what captivated us most was the stunning view from both terraces and the phenomenal jacuzzi on the outdoor terrace with an even better view. This was our first visit — but certainly not our last.

Dalibor Batinić

★★★★★

The house is set in a beautiful location with breathtaking views. You have complete privacy and everything a holiday home could offer — and more. The konoba for socialising with friends, a large terrace, and the jacuzzi with equally stunning views. The four of us were simply in awe of everything and we're coming back next month.
