As in the fairytale of ‘Trnoružica’ (eng. Sleeping Beauty) the sleeping beauty is this small village of Mikuličići which for decades has been overgrown with thorns and ivy. With all its symbols and metaphors Trnoružica is also a family-run business guiding village of Mikuličići through the process of awakening from a long and deep sleep.

Starring as the fairytale heroes, you will find us, Mirna and Neven – a couple in our thirties, who decided to plant our roots here and live with this village, to be a part of its awakening, the renaissance, and to cherishing all that countryside life all can be.

Through both Mikuličići and Trnoružica we are creating organic experience and luxury of simplicity in slow stays and collection of rural happenings.

With time we have become intertwined with the village and our devotion is poured in every detail.

In living with natural cycles and seasonal flow we are taking care of the forest, garden with vegetables and fruits and the olive garden.

We are being the essential part of stone house renovations, remodelling, and rural reviving where new energy is being sprouted with every encounter.

about sustainability & slow living

Here, the moments are magical in equal measure due to the beauty of the view over Istrian green hills, and the deep sense of the passage of time and history. It's a feeling that makes you indulge in the experience of active presence.
Nature and energy that flows here has the power to touch you and bring you closer to yourself. More than hundred years old mulberry tree and wild chestnut tree call you to sit under their crown, at the wooden table, to collect the breeze on your skin and spend cozy summer nights or fresh in-between the seasons mornings.

Take a walk over wildflower meadows or wish to have a picnic in an olive garden where the sound of wind and trees soothes the body and soul.

Explore the freshness of being next to springing water on warm days or follow the path in the forest in autumn and find where the water sinks in and at which tree it makes incredible little cascades.

The village and Trnoružica share the effort towards more sustainable and self-efficient living.

Holiday homes are equipped to support this way of travelling and low impact living. Indoor and outdoor areas are dedicated to philosophy of non-harmful and non-toxic ways of handling the water, grounds (soil, fruits, garden, olive trees) and everything else that is at your and nature’s disposal. Minimization of plastic and items of short-term usage is significant for a village on its more sustainable journey.
