‘Cutest place ever’: Tourists are bowled over by this fairytale village in Croatia, where guests sleep in tiny homes shaped like a castle, a mushroom and a pumpkin

In the fairytale village of Hvar, Hvar far away…

Tourists who want to go on holiday to Croatia can make their trip extra enchanting by booking a stay in a small house in the shape of a pumpkin, a mushroom or a miniature castle.

The three Airbnb properties, offered by hosts Helena and Florijan, are located in the fairytale village of Krka, near the Krka National Park. One is described as “the cutest place ever” and the other as “really special.”

An overnight stay in the unique houses includes free internet, air conditioning, heating, parking, barbecues and use of the surrounding garden and orchard.

The ‘fairytale castle‘ has two bedrooms, both with a double bed, as well as a bathroom, kitchen and many amenities.

The fairytale castle has plenty of outdoor space with a table and chairs, bench, fire pit, outdoor kitchen and BBQ. Holidaymaker Marcus, from Berlin, described the property as ‘very special’

Each stay also includes a television, hairdryer, kettle, stove, cleaning products, hot water, mosquito nets, board games, a fireplace, freezer and washing machine.

The small house, which looks like a small castle, also has plenty of outdoor space, where guests will find a table with chairs, a sofa, a fire pit, an outdoor kitchen, a barbecue and sun loungers.

Holidaymaker Marcus, from Berlin, said: ‘Helena and Florijan have created a very nice, loving place. We felt very comfortable there. The outdoor kitchen and the great houses make the place very special. Highly recommended!’

While Ollie, from the UK, added: ‘It’s a lovely place to stay. The kids loved the lovely cottage and the play park!’

The magic pumpkin is a bright orange, round house that resembles a giant pumpkin.

It has a bedroom with sleeping space for four people, a kitchen, a toilet and a bathroom with shower.

Inside you will also find a television, an iron and a hairdryer. However, the advert states that the pumpkin-shaped rental cottage does not have hot water or a washing machine.
