Slovenian farm stays are known for being well kept, having friendly hosts and offering excellent food that comes straight from their gardens. Some of them tell very special green stories.
In Slovenia, tourism is developed in a responsible and sustainable way. Under the auspices of the Green Scheme of Slovenian Tourism, we implement green policies and propose green experiences. Over one hundred Slovenian destinations and tourism providers have already been awarded the Slovenia Green Label, which reflects their endeavours to positively impact the natural environment and the local community. Among them, there are many farm stays that will delight you with delicious produce from their own gardens, fields, orchards and vineyards, and impress you with beautiful countryside and their green approach. A healthy rural lifestyle is truly the best anti-stress therapy. Find your perfect spot in the peaceful Slovenian countryside and enjoy a holiday that is friendly both to nature and to the local community.
