Villa Flora was built in year 1820 as a family residency. Built of nothing but stone and wood. We preserved everything in order to provide our guests with what is a most healthy life style. Recently restored the villa to its former beauty and we as well equipped it with all the necessary for the today's comforts of the country living Italian style. At Villa Flora you will be able not only to work as an artist, but also to live like one. Sunshine, colors and flavours of the Precoastal Slovenian Wine Country-side will make you froget all the stress and interruptions of urban living.
