Pomurska, Ljutomer, Stara Cesta

Turizem na podeželju ali bivanje v naravi, sredi Prlekije

In the heart of the Prlekija hills of Jeruzalem lies a small hill, atop which sits the village of Stara Cesta.
Here you'll find a beloved countryside inn, Turizem na podeželju Tompa, a well-known gathering place for both locals and tourists for decades. In the future, this space is ready for a new chapter—perhaps yours!

The renowned Tompa family from Ljutomer began building their story and vision here twenty years ago, focused on offering authentic local dishes prepared by the skilled and hospitable hostess Nadica. Her late husband Branko, with a refined taste for quality wine, cultivated their vineyard and produced their own wines. Their son Črt now continues this tradition.

The family has always been deeply rooted in hospitality, understanding the importance of continuous investment and optimization to ensure a successful business. They carried out most of the work themselves and decided to officially register their activity as rural tourism. Their philosophy was simple: only the best ingredients can produce top-quality products—products that are not only delicious but also enriched by ancestral stories and the nature of Prlekija.

The inn has a 20-year tradition and can host up to 60 guests, supported by the property’s full infrastructure and a spacious 1,000 m² parking area. The offer is enhanced by five fully furnished guest rooms with private bathrooms, a shared lounge, a sauna, and an office. Visitors from Slovenia and abroad are charmed by the unspoiled nature and peaceful atmosphere—making this the ideal setting for a new chapter in boutique tourism.

The location itself, along with the adjacent vineyard measuring 6,199 m², gives the estate unique potential to continue its long-standing hospitality tradition.
The entire property spans 7,467 m², consisting of a vineyard (6,199 m²) and a residential-tourism building of 642.90 m² (according to GURS data), situated on a 1,268 m² plot that also includes the arranged parking area. Outdoor spaces are thoughtfully landscaped and adorned with floral arrangements.

This is a property that enables you to combine business and private life in one place—or offers an excellent investment opportunity for renting one or both segments.
