Discover an idyllic base to explore the country while escaping the tourist crowds and living like a local. With cross-country trails right out of the backyard, and just thirty minutes from the best skiing in Slovenia with some hosting the World Cup, you'll be in heart of the winter scene sitting in a tranquil valley of a tiny historical town just outside Bled. A gathering living room comes complete with a flat-screen TV and a comforting wood-burning stove, alongside a fully equipped open-plan kitchen where culinary delights come to life. Outside, a beautiful patio area awaits, surrounded by an enclosed yard and offering inviting seating arrangements, perfect for alfresco dining with striking mountain views. There is also a dedicated workspace upstairs for those who need to set up their laptop. This cozy sanctuary features a master bedroom fitted with a plush queen-size bed, a charming second bedroom with two twin beds, and a convenient sofa bed on the top floor. With one full bathroom including a shower/bath, bidet, and ambient floor heating, and a half bath/WC, every comfort is catered for. Nestled at a more secluded edge of the village with plenty of open space, the cottage offers the perfect setting for both relaxation and adventure. You can unwind on the furnished deck and soak up the sun during summers, cook BBQ under the shady grapevines and fruit trees, or explore the vibrant scene of Bled, which is just a few minutes away. You can indulge in delicious dining and lively nightlife or immerse yourself in the beauty of Lake Bled and its majestic castle. If you're an outdoor enthusiast, there are world-class fly fishing spots within walking distance, and skiing, golfing, and wine-tasting opportunities just a short drive away.

We knew immediately we wanted to find a property in this amazing country we first started visiting regularly in 1991. Bled has always been our favorite location, yet we wanted to have access by good roads to explore the rest of the country. We had a demanding list. We wanted to be very close to Bled, but have privacy and charm. We wanted great views. The mountains in Slovenia have always enchanted us. We wanted a property with a lot of character, that had all the most modern conveniences so that we could live there comfortably. We instantly fell in love with this home and location. The house itself is over 100 years old. The original owner lived there his entire life. He was a big collector. We have incorporated many or the antiques and items which were left in the house into our interior design. We wanted the house to feel historic, but with a modern edge. When we purchased it we had to install all systems: water, heating, gas, etc. We used all the most modern equipment. We tried to think of the little things like providing additional space below the sinks for convenience. We worked with a great interior designer and construction firm to completely remake the home.

A peaceful holiday getaway in Bled: We are in a very quiet village our off the tourist path. There are 2 restaurants in the village and a small grocery shop with a lot packed into a small space. We have a nice waterfall in town and you can hike up to have an amazing view of our little town village valley. I will send information about these and much more after your reservation is completed. We recommend you rent a car to get the most out of your stay. We have parking at our home. There is a train and bus station a very short walk away. Trails lead from our home to Bled as well as hiking trails.
