Destination
This property was built to fill people with positive energy and to help them rest and rejuvenate. Feel the seabreeze in your hair as it rises above the sea, taste local, seasonal fruits and vegetables that have ripened in the Mediterranean sun all seasoned with the sound of the sea, wind, happy family members or peace and quiet, as you desire. A holiday at Villas Merula can be easy, active or somewhere in between, depending on your own needs and desires. One thing is certain – every day you can enjoy here before continuing on your lifeway.
A long, winding and secret road surrounded by fields with wild medicinal plants stretches from Ripenda to Mali Kosi and awards every persistent traveller with a view that stretches from one side of Kvarner Bay to the other. Stone houses atop the hill seem to have come out of an old postcard, surrounded by greenery, forests and everything that is necessary to enjoy a holiday in nature.
In Mali Kosi nature is a stone’s throw away while towns, beaches, markets, supermarkets and more are only a few minutes’ away by car.
Only three hours’ drive away from Mali Kosi is a UNESCO protected landscape, the Plitvica Lakes National Park. Sixteen lakes come together here through large and small waterfalls, creating hues of green and blue that you cannot see anywhere else. Spend an exciting day with your family strolling and exploring the beauty of this very special limestone landscape.
