Holiday Old stone house
A wellness stay built inside a historic stone building
About this hotel
Holiday Old Stone House is exactly what the name promises: guests sleep inside an old stone structure rather than a modern build, with the spa facilities, hot tub and sauna fitted into the historic shell rather than bolted on as an afterthought. The garden and terrace outside give the property room to breathe, and the kitchenette and dining area cover self-catering without pretending to be a full kitchen. Culture classes and beauty services on offer make this one of the few stays in the area leaning into its own age rather than hiding it. Kurija Domin, another of the district's old manor estates, is under two miles away, with Zagreb Cathedral a 21-mile drive.

Our take
Holiday Old stone house sets a stay inside a historic stone building outside Sveti Ivan Zelina, with a hot tub, a sauna and spa facilities fitted into the old structure, plus a garden and a terrace. A kitchenette and dining area allow simple meals, and beauty services and culture classes are offered. Its 9.4 score from 31 reviews is strong. I would choose it for a quiet wellness weekend in the countryside rather than for touring by public transport.
- ✓Ask about the culture classes on arrival, they are not always advertised up front.
- ✓Book the hot tub for an evening slot, it sits inside the old structure and feels different after dark.
- ✓Walk to Kurija Domin rather than drive, it is close enough to make a proper afternoon of it.
Why we love it
- Genuine historic stone building
- Hot tub and sauna inside the old structure
- Culture classes on offer
- Garden and terrace
Why guests love itStaying at Holiday Old Stone House means the building itself is the main character, not the amenities list. Having a hot tub and sauna fitted into a genuinely old stone structure is a rarer combination than the reviews might suggest, and it changes the feel of an evening soak completely. Guests who care about heritage over a swimming pool will notice the difference immediately. It rewards travellers curious about the district's older buildings rather than those chasing a resort feel.
