"Slovenia is as picture-perfect as Switzerland or other Alpine areas to the north, but much smaller and easier on the wallet." - Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2013.

We live in a small town close to Slovenia's capital Ljubljana. It is a good central location to discover and explore the rich diversity of landscapes and attractions of the country. It's also a good base for daytrips to the seaside (Italian and Croatian Adriatic coast), to the lakes, valleys and mountains, to towns (Trieste, Venice, Zagreb ...). Slovenia is small so by car you can reach any destination in a short time.

Our house: on the ground-floor we have a kitchen/living room and a bathroom. Upstairs there are three bedrooms. We have a small garden and upstairs a balcony.
The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood. It's advisable to have a car to be able to explore the larger area, although it's not indispensable. There is a mini-market at walking distance. It's a great biking area.
And in 20 minutes you can reach the Ljubljana centre by city bus.

Here are some comments by families that exchanged with us:
"Thanks for letting us stay in your lovely house these two weeks. This exchange --our seventh-- has been one of the best we have made. During our stay we have spent lots of time around the Bled area. We were swimming in Lake Bled, walked on top of Vogel, seen waterfalls both at Lake Bohinj and at the Vintgar Gorge. We also did some exciting rafting in Bovec along the Soca river. Turning South we visited the fantastic Skocjanske caves, the Lipica horses, the beautiful Piran. We visited Italy: Trieste, where we bought some good Parmesan cheese, and Venice where we did some mandatory sightseeing. Our favorite however was Lake Bohinj and Bled where the Bovec rafting was the icing on the cake. Slovenia has been a pleasant surprise to us and we wish you all the best in your future exchanges."

"We are leaving your house after a very nice holiday in Slovenia. We used a lot of your visit tips: Bled, the Vintgar gorge, the Skocjan Caves ( *** ), Lipica, Bistra (*** :-) ) Castle and Museum, Otocec, the Valley of the Krka, Monasteries of Sticna, Pleterje, Piran, Izola, Koper..., Trieste, etc. Thanks for your hospitality and the warmth of your house!
