Family friendly 90m2 apartment in the design of the 30s

About Marta Petru

I am Marta, a young mom of three young children, who had spent her whole childhood in this house. Today, my parents live in the lower floor of the house. In 2012, we have completely rebuilt the attic and started to rent the apartment to guests from all over the world.

Why Marta Petru chose Zlin

If you are looking for a special stay away from the hectic hotel traffic, our apartment is the right choice. We built it in the mansard of our completely renovated house from 1932. It’s located on a hill, in the residential district Zlín-Nivy, just a ten- minute walk to the city centre. You can also enjoy our garden, which has a beautiful view of the city.

What makes this Apartment unique

As a Zlín-born I was surrounded by architecture. I became a fan of functionalism and the style of the 30s in general. We had a lot of fun while decorating the apartment - and equipped it with books and films about Thomas Bata and architecture. The visit of the 2013 opened Bata Institute is a must for any visitor of Zlín. Worth seeing is mainly the permanent exhibition "Baťa principle: Today imagination, tomorrow reality " on the 3rd floor, consisting of the Baťa Shoe Museum with over 1,000 exhibits, the advertising and filmography section as well as the travel section. Here you can also book a ride of the historic elevator - the Baťa office – in the headquarters of the Baťa factory.
