Escape to a restored countryside farmhouse just a short drive from Maribor. Surrounded by open hills and greenery, Country House Žunko offers privacy, calm, and an authentic rural atmosphere.
The house is especially suited to groups — retreats, workshops, large families, and organised gatherings — who value shared spaces, nature, and meaningful time together. This is not a hotel-style stay, but a thoughtfully renovated farmhouse built around natural materials, solid wood, and communal living.
The space
The space
Country House Žunko is a restored classical farmhouse designed for peaceful countryside stays and intentional group experiences.
The interior combines exposed wooden beams, natural stone, and handcrafted rustic details that create a warm, grounding atmosphere. In the evenings, when the fireplace is lit and the hills grow quiet, the house feels especially calm and secluded.
The house has two main levels:
Upper floor (rest, focus, shared time)
2 double bedrooms, each with a private bathroom
a cosy lounge/library with a rustic fireplace and large communal table (reading, shared meals, discussions, quiet work)
a spacious seminar room used for yoga, workshops, and group sessions during the day, and converted into shared sleeping space at night (floor mattresses + sofa bed)
This level is ideal for rest, reflection, and smaller group activities.
Ground floor (practical use + group activities)
fully equipped kitchen (accessed via outdoor stairs)
1 smaller double bedroom with bathroom (often used by organisers; available on request)
a large vaulted multifunctional room suitable for workshops, group activities, and private celebrations (by prior agreement)
The ground-floor room is intentionally separated from sleeping areas and can accommodate livelier activities while maintaining the peaceful character of the rest of the house.
Outdoor environment
The property is surrounded by open greenery with beautiful morning and evening views. A large private lawn and outdoor area provide ample space for yoga, stretching, group circles, quiet time in nature, and informal gatherings. Guests can take short walks around the grounds and fully embrace the slower rhythm of countryside life.
Adjacent to the house is a small herbal garden contributing to the biodiversity of the property and forming part of our optional nature-based experiences.
We live in a separate house across the courtyard, so guests enjoy privacy and independence while help is nearby if needed.
Guest access
Guests have access to the main house and surrounding outdoor areas, including:
2 upper-floor en-suite double bedrooms
lounge/library with fireplace and communal table
seminar room (used for group activities during the day and converted into shared sleeping space at night)
ground-floor kitchen
wooden sauna (by prior arrangement)
2 additional ground-floor showers and toilets
The large vaulted multifunctional room is available for shared dining, workshops, group activities, and private celebrations.
Use of this room for celebrations, amplified music, or larger organised events must be agreed in advance and may include additional conditions (for example, event cleaning surcharge).
The smaller ground-floor double bedroom is available on request.
Optional extras (by prior arrangement) include therapeutic massage sessions and selected nature-based workshops.
Other things to note
Group size:
Airbnb bookings are limited to 16 guests. Larger groups (up to 24–25) may be possible by prior arrangement and agreement.
Sleeping style:
Sleeping arrangements combine private double rooms with shared sleeping in the seminar room. This retreat-style setup works best for groups comfortable with communal living rather than hotel-style individual rooms.
Accessibility:
The upper floor (main bedrooms, lounge and seminar room) is accessible only by stairs.
On the ground floor, there is one smaller double bedroom with bathroom, which may be suitable for guests with limited mobility.
Dog on site:
We have a friendly Labrador named Car on the property. Guests may bring their own dog (€10/day), but please note the property is not fenced.
Optional extras (by advance request):
Massage treatments, nature-based workshops (wild herbs and plants), and selected local products (jams, syrups, essential oils, hydrolats).
Events and celebrations:
Parties or larger celebrations are possible only by prior agreement and may include additional conditions (such as event cleaning surcharge and house rules).
Winter heating:
In colder months, the house is heated with a wood stove and indoor fireplace. Guests are responsible for adding firewood regularly to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures. We can sometimes assist with lighting or checking the fire — please ask in advance.
