Hotel Josefina — boutique hotel with six rooms in Rodik, Slovenia
A house with a soul
We believe in a house with a soul. In a place that doesn't shout, but settles into you. Josefina is more than a hotel — it is the continuation of a family story and a tribute to the land we belong to.

BLUE SUITE
A place for complete rest
A spacious experience of stillness, crafted for slow mornings, deep rest, and unhurried evenings.
Join us for breakfast
Our day begins with the scent of freshly baked sourdough from locally milled flour. The table is laid with home-made yoghurt and local dairy, seasonal fruit from the surrounding orchards, and croissants with plum jam made to Grandma Marija's old recipe.
Breakfast is enriched with selected cured meats from the finest producers of the Karst, Brkini and Slovenian Istria, house-made jams and juices, and eggs from the neighbour's hens, prepared to your taste — an introduction to a day we shape with the same care as everything else.

Our family has practised hospitality in Rodik since 1903. What lives today as Josefina grew out of decades of connection — between the house and its people, the guest and the table, the place and the feeling that true hospitality is never just a service. It is always a relationship.
Josefina was born as a tribute to that heritage and as its contemporary continuation. In the restored house we created six unique rooms for adult guests who value calm, intimacy, refined materiality and the character of a space.
In building Josefina we followed the same conviction that guides us at Gostilna Mahorčič: that real quality is inseparable from place. Our world is built on respect for the local environment, natural materials, craft, and the seasons.
