The house

Sunny days,
slow evenings.

A single-storey house in a quiet corner of Rakalj, built for long days outside: the heated pool a few steps from the kitchen, a covered terrace for the hottest hours, and a fenced garden where children and dogs can roam. Inside, two bright bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open living room that opens onto the terrace. In the evening, light the barbecue and eat under the pergola.
