Čičmany is a small village in northern Slovakia. It is known as the first folk architecture reserve in the world, founded in 1977. It has been attracting public interest since the Slavonic Ethnological Exhibition in Prague in 1895.

Hotel Palazzo Radomiri is the first boutique hotel in Montenegro. It rose up on the remains of a noble family house dating back to early 18thCentury, a home to many brave captains and prominent ship owners.

S prenovo kozolca smo se držali načela, da se fasade in konstrukcije skoraj ne dotaknemo. Vsa oprema je iz naravnih materialov - les hrast in oreh, kovina, celo izolacija je oz plošč stisnjene slame. Hišice dvignjene visoko med krošnje dreves so sicer povsem nove, starodavna je samo želja, ki
