Stone Tower Cabin in Croatia


This post contains affiliate links.

This is a stone tower cabin in Croatia that you can rent for $188 a night (as I write this). From the outside, you’ll notice a cylindrical structure created from different size stones with beautiful ivy growing up one side.

When you go inside, you’ll find a living room on the first “floor” with a step-up kitchen. Follow the spiral staircase to multiple lofts including a dining room, two bedrooms, and two baths.

    Love the stone inside and out. I could see myself staying here and being very comfortable. However, the sink looks like it is a bit too small to be practical for washing large plates, pots & pans. Also, I’m left handed and I would be bumping my arm into the refrigerator all the time. I know it is just a rental property, but I like to cook whether I’m on holiday or at home. I’m sure it would work for most renters though.

    Wow! Love this home, but I think one of my sons would love it more than me. He likes Gothic homes, especially towers. Would love to email this site to him, unfortunately, he’s moving away.

    Very cool. Need a damsel and a bit of chainmail to feel right at home. FYI the shape is cylindrical not conical think soup can vs. ice cream cone.

      Hmmm, I did not see anywhere this was referred to as “conical” — it was clearly stated as cylindrical.

    Beautiful! Just like the country. For those who have never visited Croatia… its a beautiful, affordable and friendly place to visit? Myself along with 23 of my closest friends (lol) rented a yacht this last summer and sailed the Dalmation coast. There are so many of these great tiny houses to be found.

    Nice Alex, however to many stairs. Not a fan of the dining chairs they look uncomfortable. Lived in Europe and as beautiful as the stones look it gets cold.

      The secret to keeping stone warm is to keep the fire going. I used to live in a stone cottage with a coal fired stove for the central heating. It takes a week for the stone to heat up from empty house cold, but it takes a week for it to return to that cold after the fire is out. A low fire when you are out or in bed keeps a base, comfortable background temperature that you can raise during the day. That wouldn’t work so well in a rental, but its fine for regular life. Wood is less dusty than coal for cleaning.
      I love this house. If only I could move it to Ireland and get a sea view.

    Ah, yes. See? Curves are challenging, not ugly. This is ingenious and beautiful. But the ingenious inset toilet tank doesn’t appear to meet the IRC minimum standard of 15 inches from the toilet centerline to the nearest obstruction. BTW, this code is intended for the safety of the plumber, among other things. An option might be the S-trap toilet with its tank inside the hollow portion of the bowl. It only sticks out 16″ from the wall.

    Lots of stairs for this old bird, but I’d love to give it a try for a couple of days.

    Not averse to cylindrical housing, but the way the floors were laid out actually made me giddy. And not in a good way either. Didn’t work for me I’m afraid.

    As for ivy… the bane of my life. If ONLY I could totally destroy it at my place. If only…

    Another stone house, WOW! I love the set up, but my son would love it more than me. This is a type of house (tower) that he would want to live in, if he could find one in New Zealand.
    Beautifully done!

    Beautiful with out a doubt…! I have seen a few of these here in the U.S. were old water reservoirs were used to be trans formed into houses like this one… And they to were equally beautiful I’d like to add…! Another useful reconstruction of a structure from the past brought up to today’s standards creating another beautiful house.. We need to see more houses built from historic structures in our community’s from those historical land marks that are being left to decay… The shame of it all is big business finds a lot of these structures to be on prime real estate for commercial use, and are unconcerned with it’s historic values…! Over pricing is than levied against these properties and make them unaffordable for the homesteaders and historic organizations to be able to further sustain these lands, and hence build a strip mall or shopping plazas in it’s wake…! Sad but true, fortunately this landmark was saved….!

    This would be like living in a fairy tale, so cool. I’m trying to think, Croatia, is that on the west side of Greece? I’m not super great at geography.

        I think she was thinking, or referring to Cypress, instead of Croatia…! LoL…! But I can understand the confusion…

    I think this would be a great place to stay for a couple of days. They did such a great job on making this a “house”. Only two things I would change — the bedrooms have no privacy and need some and those chairs at the dinning table. I guess they would force you to have good posture, but certainly would not be comfortable, but great to look at. Just a fun place and great for a rental.

    • Natalie C. McKee

    This is beautiful. Chairs at the table are amazing. Kitchen is nice. Entire home is very nice. Outside looks like something I would dream about.

      Yes! It’s very dream-worthy.
