Beautiful Labrador

Richard and Lesley Norwich, U.K.
Review Submitted: January 6, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2007
What can you say about Slovenia - scenery, people, value - one of the best destinations for us, we'll be back !
Initially the remoteness of the chalet was of concern, but after 1 day we realised how privileged we were to stay here and enjoyed the tranquility beyond words.
Good luck Mark & Trish, we hope to return.
Richard & Lesely.
P.S. Look out for the beautiful labrador - he likes BBQ's.
Owner's Response: Many thanks for your comments Richard and Lesely, we feel that being only 10 minutes from Kamnik our guests have the best of both worlds, peace and tranquility at the chalet and all the amenities you'd need not too far away. We're pleased you met our neighbours dog "Jack", he's probably the best natured dog you're ever likely to meet, and as a result, probably the best fed dog in the village !!
All the best Mark & Trish

The chalet was totally superb and made the perfect base to explore Slovenia from. There was everything i could have possibly needed in the property, making it very easy to stay in.

Wonderful holiday in a nice alpine chalet

midi Würzburg, Germany
Review Submitted: September 13, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
A charming typical alpine chalet with a wonderful sunny veranda. Beside the good equipment of the house there are also additional things like games for children and guides for hikes in the mountains which makes the holiday very pleasantly. We got some tourist information about Kamnik and the area before the visit, which is also a very nice service.

The location is around the middle of Slowenia and therefore a good base for excursions, e.g. Ljubljana, the mountains and differnt lakes. Especially the caves Škocjanske Jame (very big subterrain canyon, 1:30h with the car) and Postojnska Jama (many big stalactites and stalagmites, 1:00h with the car) are very spectacular and worth seeing them.

The 2 weeks holiday passed so fast and were so nice that our son at the end feels very sad when we had to leave. We can absolutely recommend the house.

Many thanks for the opportunity to visit your chalet in Slovenia. We had a fantastic two weeks in what is a marvellous country with such friendly people - it did not take long to feel at home!

We had a great time - the cottage is perfect for visiting loads of different places and Kamnik is a great town to be located close to.

Fantastic family holiday!

Lorna and Dave Dunblane, Scotland
Review Submitted: July 20, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We have holidayed in Slovenia in the North West but we were looking for a more central location this time. We were not disappointed. We stayed for two weeks and managed to go as far South as Portoroz(2 hours away) and as far North as Kranjska Gora (1 and 1/2 hours away) on separate days. We managed to see lots of Slovenia that we missed before thanks to the great central location of this chalet.
We have two young kids and they enjoyed their holiday just as much as we did. There are toys in the chalet that they were able to play with (both indoors and outdoors) while they were waiting on dinner getting ready.
We had a fantastic holiday and we will definitely return to Slovenia in the near future - no hesitation!

Thanks for the memories!

Review Submitted: April 14, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
I had no idea what to expect from Slovenia and have to say I was incredibly impressed. The Chalet is in a wonderful location with unbelievable views and is immaculately maintained. Being centrally located for so many sites allowed us to visit historical Ljubljana, an easy train ride away, Lakes Bled and Bohijn and the Velika Planina mountain and snow fields in 3 days! The locals were all very friendly and helpful and having only two words of Slovenian did not restrict my enjoyment in the least. Will be back! Thank you Mark and Trish.

Great Holiday !!

Wendy and Ian United Kingdom
Review Submitted: January 13, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
This was our first experience of a "winter" holiday and what a great holiday it was. We spent many days at the local ski resort (Velika Planina) with our young son enjoying the sledging while we were learning to ski, although I think we may have to come back soon for more lessons ! The area was ideal for beginners like us and not too busy.
The facilities in the chalet were superb and we enjoyed plenty of cosy nights in front of the fire. The chalet was well equipped with everythng you could need.
The view from the chalet of the New Year's eve fireworks in the valley have to be seen to be believed, it was amazing.
All in all, a great trip and will definately return soon.

Beautiful country

Lorna and Nicholas Leeming, Australia
Review Submitted: November 19, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
What a lovely chalet in a most beautiful part of the world! We’ve had a wonderful time doing a mixture of just relaxing on the balcony reading and sipping coffee or wine, and seeing some of the fascinating sights around Slovenia.
- Kamnik itself is a delightful town, especially the old part – fun to wonder around and look at the decorated buildings.
- Lake Bled and lake Bohinj a great drive and both beautiful in different ways.
- Loved the drive to Logarska Dolina with the fabulous mountain views and charming old villages – what a lot of churches!
- Also loved Ljubljana – fascinating old town with beautiful bridges and squares, amazing fruit and flower market on Saturdays.
- Food highlights were mushroom soup and gnocchi in truffle sauce, and burek at the cafe in Kamnik near the market.

This has been a memorable and fantastic stay in a lovely country, we’ll be back and would definitely recommend your chalet.

Lovely holiday

Kevin and Carla York, U.K.
Review Submitted: November 19, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We loved it, found the chalet to be comfortable and fun. The village is delightful and the people we met very friendly especially the children and the farmer with the kittens and horses.
Velika Planina is lovely as is the waterfall at Kamniska Bistrica, further afield Skocjan caves, lake Bled and lake Bohinj were a joy to experience. As recommended, the restaurant in Stahovica is delightful – try the wild goat.
Overall we have had a lovely holiday and feel very refreshed and happy, thankyou.
