Metuljeva House

Room to gather, space to breathe

Slovenia paid

A retreat here can be shaped around the group that gathers: Metuljeva House is a private venue with room for workshops and small-group stays, rather than a center tied to a named meditation tradition. Its setting in Slovenia’s Karst gives the estate a quiet, outdoors-oriented feel, with the Italian border and Adriatic coast nearby. The grounds cover about 5,000 square metres, leaving space to step outside between sessions, and an outdoor summer kitchen adds a convivial option for shared meals. That flexibility makes the house particularly suited to organizers planning their own program, as well as visitors looking for a private base for a restorative break. The house does not publish a set daily practice or retreat schedule, so the experience depends on the gathering being hosted. Ask the host about lodging arrangements, meals and the details of your dates before booking.
