A restored 18th-century villa celebrating centuries of Croatian craftsmanship, curated art and refined hospitality — reborn for a new generation.
Heritage House Aurelia began as a crumbling 18th-century manor on the hills of Karlovac County. Over three years, it was resurrected — stone by stone, beam by beam — with a singular vision: to honour its past while offering every comfort of modern luxury.
Today, Aurelia stands as a living museum and a retreat. Original frescoes share walls with Italian designer furniture. The wine cellar once held barrels; now it holds some of Croatia's finest vintages. Every detail is intentional. Every room has a soul.
