🏡 Welcome to Domus Carstica, a traditional Karst homestead where heritage and comfort meet in two spacious, independent units – ideal for larger families or groups of friends. Thanks to its peaceful surroundings and attractive location, both units are also perfect for longer holiday stays.
🌄 The first unit, an architecturally dynamic house, spans 180 m² and accommodates up to 7 guests. A fully equipped kitchen with a large dining table, cozy bedrooms, and a comfortable bathroom create a warm, homey atmosphere. A 14 m² covered balcony invites you to enjoy your morning coffee.
🛋️ The second unit, measuring 85 m², is a charming choice for up to 5 guests. It features a delightful living area with a kitchenette, a large attic bedroom, and access to a spacious 15 m² terrace – ideal for relaxing after a day of exploring the surroundings.
🌞Both units are designed with a harmonious blend of Karst stone and wood, and furnished with unique details, travel souvenirs, and family heirlooms – creating a vibrant yet cozy atmosphere. The indoor and outdoor spaces are perfect for socializing or peaceful rest – in summer under the green shade, or in winter by the stove or wood-burning fireplace. Guests can enjoy free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, heating, and free parking.
📍 Domus Carstica is located in the quiet village of Križ, between Sežana and Kosovel’s Tomaj. This traditional settlement, built closely together from local materials like Karst stone and oak wood, is surrounded by vineyards, fields, and forests divided by dry stone walls. The village enchants with its rich history and authentic local spirit. Just minutes from Sežana, Križ is a perfect starting point for discovering the natural and cultural treasures of the Karst region, as well as local culinary delights.
💛Domus Carstica is more than just a holiday rental – it's your Karst home away from home, where every guest is truly welcome.
🌍 As a passionate traveler myself, I’ve always preferred staying with locals – which inspired me to open my home to visitors of this small yet beautiful corner of our planet, a place long shaped by the winds of history.
⏳ Moving from the city to the Karst fulfilled my long-time dream of living in the countryside – where life feels more genuine and simple, where traces of the past and traditional ways of living still remain, where people are warmer and friendlier, and where time flows more slowly.
🏡The proximity of cosmopolitan Trieste and the sea gives me a glimpse into the modern world and the future. I love sharing my enthusiasm for the cultural and natural treasures of this land that reveal themselves at every step. Every guest is welcomed with heart and soul, because I truly believe that home is where someone is sincerely waiting for you.
🧀🍇My goal is not just to provide a place to sleep, but to create a meaningful experience that will stay with you as a beautiful memory. I respond quickly, organize efficiently, and love offering personalized tips about local trips, restaurants, wine cellars, or hidden gems that you won’t find in travel guides. Upon request, I also organize wine and cheese tastings in a nearby wine cellar.
🙋♀️I understand that you're not just another booking – you are a valued guest, and your time and comfort truly matter. With Domus Carstica, I wanted to create a special place where the Karst soul meets true hospitality. While I fully respect your privacy, I’m always nearby if you need anything. I genuinely look forward to greeting you in person and making your stay truly special.
