Hi, I’m Melinda.
Originally from Budapest, and now living in Split, Croatia, I’ve spent years working in tourism and hosting — helping guests organize their dream holidays while learning what makes a stay truly exceptional.
After years working in an online tourist agency — first in customer service, later as a specialist — I gained deep insight into guest expectations, feedback patterns, and the small details that turn a good stay into an unforgettable one.
Alongside my work in tourism, interior design has always been my passion.
I redesigned our family home from scratch and later, together with my husband, transformed a traditional stone house in Trogir, Dalmatia into a boutique-style stay. Together we created and hosted the space, carefully shaping every detail to create a warm, thoughtful atmosphere that guests genuinely appreciate.
Beautiful spaces and smart systems work hand in hand.
Cosy Stay Studio brings these two worlds together: strategic hosting knowledge and intentional design. Through practical articles, free resources, and thoughtfully created tools in the Cosy Stay shop, I share ideas that help hosts create spaces that feel calm, welcoming, and organised.
I believe beautiful spaces and smart systems work hand in hand — and when combined, they naturally lead to better reviews, stronger bookings, and more confident hosting.
Whether you’re just beginning your journey or refining an existing space, my goal is to help you design with clarity, host with purpose, and create stays guests truly remember.
What Our Guests Said About Their Stay
These ideas shaped the guest experience in our boutique stone house:
“Unique accommodation, old town, very colorful, I’m just delighted, the house had absolutely everything you need and even more (a very pleasant surprise with fruit and drinks), perfect cleanliness everywhere, everything is thought out to the smallest detail, you immediately feel the care and it is obvious that everything is done with love, the renovation is fresh, new furniture and appliances. The owner is very polite and attentive, tactful and sweet, thank you very much!
“The apartment was extremely clean and fully equipped, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is located close to the city center, with cozy and tasteful furnishings. Upon our arrival, chilled drinks were waiting for us, which was a very pleasant surprise. The host was extremely kind and helpful, it was clearly important to him that we felt comfortable.
Lovely place”
“The host is simply great. He gave us so many tips that we had something to do every day. A bottle of wine and a small Easter present were also waiting for us. And since it was Easter and all the shops were closed, he was so kind and did the shopping for our first breakfast. Thanks a lot
Love it the house was amazing”
