Atelier Filozići: A Love Nest on the Island of Cres

On the northern part of the island of Cres, far from the busy rhythm of modern life, where centuries-old forests and winding paths have taken root in the rocky soil, Atelier Filozići is located - a former art studio, and today a love nest for two. This special place offers a complete escape from everyday life, where guests can connect with nature and each other, enjoying the peace, solitude, and intimacy that this corner of the island offers.

The family accommodations Atelier and ArtFarm Filozići are located close to each other, and the owners have ensured that the guests of both facilities can enjoy mutual benefits. Guests of ArtFarm can use the swimming pool at the Atelier for a small fee, which provides additional opportunities to relax and enjoy the natural environment. Also, guests can arrange joint meals or gatherings, depending on their wishes and needs. This flexibility in space allows visitors to create their own experience, adapted to their wishes.

The atelier has a rich history as originally the owner's art studio, where she processed ceramics and organized art colonies for creative people from all over the world. The place exuded creativity and inspiration, and every exhibition and workshop left its mark on the walls. Later, the owners decided to expand the offer and turn this space into a rental house intended only for two. This is how the love nest was created, which the guests praise so much today. The Atelier now offers complete privacy, freedom, and intimacy, the perfect place for couples looking for an escape to nature and peace, where they can enjoy an environment filled with the artistic spirit of the past. Many stories of guests, who contact the owners after their stay with the news that they got engaged, renewed their relationship, and even that they are expecting a new baby, testify to the beneficial effect of this place.

One of the key characteristics that makes it special is its unique location. Located in complete isolation from a busy life, this hidden corner offers incredible closeness to nature. Only three kilometers by car from the coast or half an hour's walk through the forest paths, there is this paradise on earth. The fresh air and sounds of nature that surround the area make this place perfect for those who want to escape from everyday stress and find their inner peace again.

The design and decoration fit perfectly into the surrounding landscape. The owners designed every detail themselves, using only natural materials that reflect the beauty of this part of the island. Wood, stone, and bauxite form the foundation of this house, while handmade details, such as wooden stairs and furniture, are the result of dedicated work and love for the craft. Everything in the house has a story - from the sculptures that decorate the interior to the details that remind us of the rich history of this place.

The owners are extremely dedicated to nature conservation and sustainable tourism. Guests who come here are often people who already apply sustainable practices in their daily lives, and the owners further encourage them to behave responsibly during their stay. Here, the importance of water conservation is emphasized, which is collected exclusively from rainwater and used for all the needs of the house. Also, guests are encouraged to compost and recycle, which further reduces the impact on the environment. An environmentally conscious approach is key to the overall experience and one of the reasons why guests keep coming back.

In addition to the artistic notes, the specialty of the Atelier is the swimming pool, which guests can use all year round. In winter, when the temperature drops, the pool becomes a pleasant place to relax. The possibility of using the swimming pool during the winter, with the sauna that is also offered, creates a unique experience for guests. Imagine returning home after a long walk on snowy trails, where you are greeted by the warmth of the sauna and swimming pool with the scent of essential oils. This is the moment when the body relaxes and the mind finds peace. In summer, the area around the pool becomes a place for sunbathing, reading, and enjoying the view of the beautiful nature that surrounds the house.

Within the facility, there is also a hiking trail surrounded by medicinal herbs, which additionally contribute to the experience of nature. This path, located on the edge of the fenced property, allows guests to take a leisurely walk through Indigenous plants such as sage, immortelle, lavender, and rosemary. Fig and olive trees can also be found on the trail, and walking barefoot on this stony terrain is a special experience that connects guests with nature in the most basic way. Guests often pick herbs to prepare tea or meals, which further enriches their stay.

The stay here is described as unforgettable. Relaxing on the deckchairs by the pool, looking at the beautiful landscape, or watching the wild animals - every moment spent here remains etched in the memory. Deer, sheep, and other animals can often be seen nearby, which gives guests a unique experience of nature that they can rarely experience anywhere else. This harmony between nature, people, and space is what makes this place ideal for those looking for peace and solitude.

No rush, no noise – it's a place where you can slow down, where every moment can be fully experienced, and every breath of fresh air reminds you of the simple but precious aspects of life.

Here, time flows differently. Welcome to the hidden love nest on the island of Cres - a place where love finds its true meaning and nature and art become one.
