A Michelin-listed kitchen fifteen minutes on foot · the world's oldest grapevine, ten · hosted by Sergej, born in Maribor — not a management company.

01 · The space

The top floor.

Eighty-five square metres of open-plan living, two real bedrooms, and a kitchen island long enough to roll out pasta on. The roof pitches from one side — high along one wall, low at the eaves — so every room carries the lean of it, and skylights set into the slope bring the light down. Three flights up and the street noise drops away.

Five minutes south puts you in Glavni trg, with the Plague Column and the Town Hall and the cafés that ring the square. The Drava waterfront is a short walk east. Six minutes gets you to Lent and the world's oldest fruit-bearing grapevine. Pohorje gondola is fifteen minutes by car when you want the mountain.

A family settling in for a week of city Sundays. A group of six who'd rather cook than book. A laptop open at the desk by 9, closed at the bakery by noon. A solo trip long enough to know the bakery owner.

The hour before the bakery opens, Glavni trg is yours alone.

02 · Sleeping

Sleeps six.

Two real bedrooms plus a transformable sofa. No air mattresses, no fudge.

Master bedroom

180 × 200 cm

King-sized bed under the sloped attic ceiling, wide white wardrobe, dormer skylight overhead. The door closes if you need a real Zoom room.

Second bedroom

160 × 200 cm

Queen bed behind a floor-to-ceiling structural column. Children think it's a fort; adults stop noticing it after the first night.

Living room

Sofa-bed for two

A real transformable mechanism, not a fold-out. Bedding lives in the ottoman by the window.

03 · The kit

What's in it.

Work-ready.

A dedicated desk with an ergonomic chair, the kitchen island doubling as a stand-up workspace. Wi-Fi runs at 200+ Mbps over A1's 5G — towers are a hundred metres away, latency is fine for video calls.

Family-ready.

A real kitchen with a dining table for six, dishwasher, full fridge. Travel cot and high chair on request. Washer in a separate utility space. The Pristan pools are two minutes across the street when the kids need to burn off an afternoon. Self check-in at any hour via lockbox.

Comfort.

An espresso machine on the island with ground coffee stocked. Infrared ceiling panels heat each room individually in the cold months; a new inverter air-conditioning unit cools the open-plan living space through the July heat. Fresh linens, towels, basic toiletries.

04 · The neighbourhood

Five minutes to Glavni trg.

The street outside is Koroška. Five minutes south is Glavni trg. Five east is the Drava. That's the geography.

Most mornings start at Slaščičarna Ilich on Slovenska, four minutes away. The patisserie has been family-run since the Habsburgs; order Ninina pita — pistachio-almond filling, raspberry jam top — and the homemade ice cream. Rooster Coffee is twelve minutes north: V60, big tables, beans rotated weekly from Tovarna kave.

Saturday mornings are for Mariborska tržnica at Vodnikov trg, five minutes from the front door. Štajerska honey, foraged mushrooms in autumn, pumpkin-seed oil dark enough to drizzle on vanilla ice cream. A bottle of bučno olje is the souvenir worth carrying home.

For lunch on Glavni trg, Toti rotovž does pohorski pisker, the slow Pohorje stew that defines this region. The day after, Pekarna Hameli has the best burek in town for eating warm on the walk back. For an evening that earns the trip, Mak is fifteen minutes south: chef David Vračko, no menu, a surprise tasting that runs hours, currently on the Michelin Guide.

When the day's over, Vinoteka Polek on Židovska is where locals send wine people. Or walk five minutes to Old Vine House on Lent, where they pour from the world's oldest fruit-bearing grapevine — 440 years old, Žametovka, growing on the south wall by the Drava. Book a guided tasting; it's the proper introduction to Štajerska. Niagara Cocktail Bar on the riverbank handles the late hours.

From 26 June to 4 July 2026, Festival Lent runs seven hundred events along the river — theatre, jazz, classical, world music, kids' programmes. Plan around it, or for it.

Two walks worth making. The first is the Drava promenade through Lent: Old Bridge, Old Vine, Water Tower, twenty minutes round trip. The second is up Piramida Hill from Mestni park, through working vineyards to a small white chapel at 386 metres. Do it the hour before sunset.

— Sergej

Pohorje gondola is fifteen minutes by car. Ptuj is twenty-five. Graz is an hour. The Jeruzalem wine route is about an hour east.

05 · Finding it

Finding the door.

The address sounds more complicated than the walk in. Three steps from the street to the top of the stairs.

  1. Come to Koroška cesta 43, the large building on the street, and walk straight through the passage into the courtyard behind it.

  2. The house on your left is ours. The lockbox code — in your check-in message — opens the door.

  3. Up the stairs to the loft. Top of the climb, and you're home.

06 · The host

About the host.

I grew up in Maribor. The attic on Koroška is my place — restored, set up properly, rented out to families, groups, and solo travellers who want a real base in the city rather than a hotel room.

These days I'm based in Perea, on the coast near Thessaloniki, and I make the long drive up to Maribor every month or two. My parents live in the city — they handle turnovers and anything that needs a hand on the ground. Guest messages come straight to me on WhatsApp, wherever I am, usually answered within the hour.

If anything's not right during your stay, I'd rather hear it first and fix it than read it later in a review.

08 · Questions

FAQ.

Is there a lift / elevator?
No — Maribor's Attic is on the top floor of a residential building. Three flights of stairs. The stairwell is wide enough for luggage but not a wheelchair.
How fast is the Wi-Fi?
200+ Mbps consistently — A1 5G mobile broadband, with 5G towers about 100 m away. Plenty for video calls, streaming, and large transfers across multiple devices.
Where can I park?
Parking Pristan, the paid garage at Koroška 35 — about 1–2 minutes on foot, same street as the apartment, opposite the Pristan indoor swimming pool. Walking directions are in the check-in message.
How many can really sleep here comfortably?
Six. Master bedroom: 180×200 cm king bed. Second bedroom: 160×200 cm queen. Plus a transformable sofa in the living room that sleeps two. No air mattresses. Worth knowing: there's one bathroom, so groups of six should plan morning routines.
Is there air conditioning / heating?
Both. Heating is infrared ceiling panels throughout, controlled per room. Cooling is a new 5.3 kW inverter air-conditioning unit in the open-plan living space — quiet and efficient, it handles the July–August peaks when Maribor hits 30°C+. The bedrooms stay comfortable with the dormers open to the cooler night air.
Is it good for working remotely?
Yes. Open layout, 200+ Mbps Wi-Fi, dedicated desk with ergonomic chair, kitchen island as stand-up workspace. Coffee shops and quiet cafés five minutes' walk away. It's set up for a week or more of focused remote work, not just a night.
Is there a pool or gym nearby?
Right across the street — the Pristan sports complex, about two minutes on foot. Indoor swimming pools and a well-equipped public gym, open to the public. You can see it from the living-room window.
Can I bring a pet?
Yes — well-behaved pets are welcome. Mention it when you book; a €25 pet-cleaning fee covers the extra turnover. Please keep them off the beds and sofa.
What's the cleaning fee?
€25 flat per stay, plus a €25 pet-cleaning fee if you're bringing a pet.
