Etno Garden Apartments

Forty minutes by car from Plitvice Lakes National Park, Etno Garden Apartments in Plitvica Selo draws on traditional Croatian highland architecture — timber detailing, stone garden walls, and pitched rooflines — while fitting family-sized apartments with air conditioning, private bathrooms, and full kitchenware.

The property leans heavily toward outdoor activity: archery, canoeing, horseback riding, fishing, and cycling are all arranged on site, with hiking trails into the Mala Kapela range accessible directly from the grounds. A sauna, BBQ terrace, and picnic area round out the offer for slower evenings.

Breakfast can be delivered to the apartment; packed lunches are prepared on request for full-day trail excursions. Parking is free, check-in opens at 14:00, and the surrounding hamlet of Plitvica Selo stays quiet enough that soundproofing is a listed room feature — not a marketing note.
