Villa Magdalena
It starts with the look. Even before you open the door to the hotel, he wanders across the rolling hills of the Zagorje region, past red tiled roofs, green treetops and on into a surprisingly wide void — a horizon that promises: Here you can let go. Not right away, maybe. But soon.

Die Villa Magdalena Krapinske Toplice does not look spectacular in the classical sense. It is not a palace, not a design statement. And that is what makes them so special. It does not focus on itself — but creates space. Space to arrive, to take a deep breath, to relax.
A stylish oasis in the heart of Krapinske Toplice
The boutique hotel is nestled in the green hills of the Zagorje region Villa Magdalena — just around an hour's drive north of Zagreb. Even the location on the hill above the small town seems like a promise: panoramic views instead of hustle and bustle, joy instead of noise. The hotel belongs to the upscale segment and offers excellent value for money. The lovely details, exclusive amenities and exceptional service justify the price and guarantee long-lasting memories.
With just 24 suites, Villa Magdalena radiates pleasant intimacy. It is not a place of crowds, but one for conscious travelers — for everyone who is looking for pleasure, peace and a coherent overall experience.
The first impression: Restrained luxury with soul
As soon as you enter the house, you notice how well everything is coordinated here. The interior is elegant but not cool — wood, natural tones, lots of light. There is a subtle scent of fresh herbs and spa oils in the air. It smells of relaxation.
At the reception, you are greeted with a warm smile that is not rehearsed but honest. The receptionist takes her time, calmly explains the special features of the house and gives little tips for your stay. Not a thoughtless “check-in”, but a greeting with attitude. That's what real hospitality feels like.

Living: suites with a view and hot tub
The rooms — or rather suites — are thoughtfully designed. Each of them has a private hot tub right in the living area, with panoramic views of the surrounding hills. It is a special feeling to sit in the evening in warm thermal water, which is fed from a natural spring, while outside the city lights sparkle in the distance.
The beds are soft but not too soft — a great balance between comfort and support. The materials are of high quality, the furnishings are subtly modern with a focus on nature and brightness. Nothing is distracting. And that is exactly what makes your stay so pleasant.
Cuisine: Creative cuisine with a regional twist
One highlight is undoubtedly the in-house restaurant, which is one of the best in the region. The cuisine is creative, sophisticated and heavily influenced by regional ingredients — much from organic farming or from local producers.
The evening tasting menu is more than a dinner—it's a journey through flavors, textures, and stories. The chef knows how to reinterpret classic Croatian dishes without alienating them. The tenderly cooked beef with celery puree and a sauce that was as intense as it was delicious is particularly memorable. Breakfast also deserves praise: freshly squeezed juices, egg dishes à la minute, local cheese selection — served with a view of the morning sun over the hills.
Relaxation on all levels: Spa & Wellness
The spa area is small but nice. Indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, an infrared cabin and various relaxation areas offer space for real relaxation. Particularly pleasant: Here too, thermal water from the region is used. The air is warm and slightly mineral, which in combination with the soft music and the subdued light creates an almost meditative atmosphere.
If you want to pamper yourself even more, you can choose from a wide range of massages and treatments — all with high-quality, natural products. The service is calm but attentive. You never have the feeling of “consuming” something, but rather of doing something good for yourself.
The surrounding area: culture, nature and small discoveries
The Zagorje region is a secret tip. Rolling hills, old castles, charming villages and a rich wine culture make it an ideal destination for day trips. Villa Magdalena is an ideal starting point — whether for a visit to the museum village of Kumrovec, a trip to Trakošćan Castle or simply a hike through the surrounding forests. Everything feels a bit slower here — and that's just right.
An inspiring retreat
Die Villa Magdalena is not a place that loudly promotes itself. She doesn't have to either. Their quality lies in the details: in the soothing peace, the thoughtful design, the honest service and the palpable passion with which the hotel is run.
It is a place for people who travel consciously. Recognize beauty in silence. And who like to remember a place again, not because of big words — but because of real experiences.
