Health always comes first
Restrictions may have been lifted, but the risk of potential infection with coronavirus is still there, so caution is the best policy. You are advised to observe the recommendations of the National Institute of Public Health (NIJZ) and other measures, and if you are feeling unwell or ill, stay at home and consult a doctor by phone. The hospitality sector carefully carries out all recommendations to prevent infections. In this way, we protect our visitors, employees, and the local community. You can also do your part to ensure a safe and healthy environment for everyone by following the relevant recommendations for preventing the spread of infections. Thank you for respecting the health protection measures, requirements and recommendations.

Nearly 60% of Slovenia's surface is covered by forests. Almost 40% of its territory lies in protected areas. Green nature is only a step away from any city centre. Do not miss the opportunity for an outdoor activity!
We swear by boutique and unique experiences
