Located in the Heart of the City of Vukovar

But let's get acquainted more with Vukovar first. Namely, there are few who know the rich past of this city on two rivers. The population of the Vukovar region can be traced over five thousand years in a continuous sequence through numerous archaeological sites. Significant early stone age cultures such as Starčevac, Vinča, and Sopot have left their traces here. With the migration and arrival of new ethnic cultures, new technologies were introduced, and the period of the Copper Age began. Vučedol culture is of particular importance to this region, and it got its name from the locality of Vučedol, where a beautiful museum of Vučedol culture is located today. There are also numerous archeological sites from the Bronze and Iron Ages in the Vukovar region that bear witness to the life of the Illyrians and Celts. Roman civilization had a significant impact on the development of the economy in these regions. For example, did you know that the Romans drained the swamps and planted the first vineyards, for which this area is still known today? In the 14th and 15th centuries, numerous noble families ruled the area. All this rich history has left its mark on the city's architecture, the way of life, and the people who are considered great and heartwarming hosts.

Right in one of the palaces in Vukovar, a wonderful place has opened, which includes an exquisite restaurant and a wonderful place to spend the night.Domestic House Lola is located in the very heart of Vukovar. Just a few steps from the main square and the beautiful promenade along the Danube. The palace is in the center of the baroque core of Vukovar and was built at the end of the 19th century, according to the project of the architect Fran Funtak. This palace was the home of the Paunović family, one of the oldest Vukovar families. A beautiful interior that takes your breath away is done by the studio Život Design from Rijeka.

The perfect harmony of the old and the modern was achieved with a combination of wood, dark colors, and different materials and textures, which further highlights baroque architecture. Precisely with the perfect balance of materials, a very pleasant, warm, and cozy feeling was achieved upon entering the Domestic House Lola.

Indulge in Traditional Slavonian Dishes

However, in addition to the fantastic, luxurious interior, you will also get a superb gastronomic experience. This should not surprise you at all since Slavonia is known for having a rich gastronomic offer. From appetizers to main dishes and desserts, Slavonia is truly unbeatable. With fresh ingredients and lots of love, Slavonians are natural talents in the kitchen. And that's what you will be able to experience in Domestic House Lola. From the rich gastronomic offer, we would like to recommend venison brassato with homemade croquettes, black pig's neck confit, perch with lentils, and our favorite when it comes to desserts: krempita in a cup. The combination of delicate vanilla cream, crisp and light puff pastry, and whipped cream is perfect for rounding off a wonderful day.
