My way of taking a city break

Write your own city story.

Step into the shoes of the local townspeople and become a part of the life in the charming old city centres, where everything is within arm’s reach. Awaken in a romantic boutique hotel and enjoy your morning coffee in a pleasant café before heading out to explore the city. Discover the local attractions and points of interest, indulge in some shopping at the boutique shops or visit the nearby galleries and museums. Go with the social flow and have a chat with the locals.

The boutique stories of Ljubljana’s old town centre

The old town centre of Ljubljana tells many different stories. You may be inspired by Plečnik’s legacy, daydreaming along the banks of the Ljubljanica River or the lively pulse of the city marketplace. Walk along the charming streets and stop in at the boutique shops selling crystal and glassware, Slovenian specialities and designer products, and have lunch or dinner at one of the smaller restaurants.

And if you get tired, you can find your perfect shelter at one of the select boutique hotels in the very centre of the city.

Wake up to the sound of sea waves

Lose yourself in the narrow streets and among the picturesque Venetian palaces in the heart of the coastal town of Piran. Breathe in the salty air that has marked the town for centuries. Its romantic soul will enchant you and awaken your feelings at every step you take.
