Farm Holiday in Slovenia
Imagine cutting away from the hustle-bustle of the world, and spending a week in a pristine rural farm in a country where more than 50% of the land is covered by forests. While your room offers most modern amenities, step outside and you have the opportunity to be one with nature. Take a short hikes in the surrounding valleys, or longer drive to more popular destinations like the Triglav National Park or the lakeside resort of Bled. Or take a day trip to coastal Piran and indulge in a leisurely sailing trip on the serene Adriatic waters. One of the most refreshing vacations you will ever take.

Length of Stay
We recommend at least 3-4 days in the Slovenian countryside. You may add a 3-4 night stay in Budapest or Vienna to this itinerary
Best time to visit
We recommend visiting this region between April – September, with July and August being the busiest months. Winters and cold and many facilities shut down, however, there are ample opportunities for Skiing and other winter activities (and much cheaper than conventional destinations like Austria & Switzerland!)
