Autumn in Slovenia |
As far as we're concerned, September and October are the best months to visit Slovenia. The harvest is in, the wine is pressed (and last year's is ready), the colours are bright, the weather is still good... and most of you have left! It's therefore a great time to indulge yourself in some quiet, some culture, some activities, some excellent dining and some gloating at colleagues who are back at work.
Of course, the following hotels are just a few of the delights Slovenia has to offer in the autumn. |

HOTEL
HVALA
Soča Valley |

Family-owned and -run hotel in Kobarid.
Fly-fishing a speciality. Plus one of Slovenia's best sea-food restaurants. |
HIŠA
FRANKO
Soča Valley |
 |
Boutique hotel in Kobarid, with a world-class
restaurant.
Great food and an excellent wine cellar. Just ten bedrooms, all individually decorated. |
KENDOV DVOREC
Idrija |
 |
Grand old manor house, set in the Idrijan hills.
Cosy on up in this superbly renovated traditional house - fine wines, fine foods, fine people. Feeling fine? You will be. |
ANTIQ
Ljubljana |
 |
Boutique hotel, full of - you guessed it - antiques.
Gorgeous decor, relaxed atmosphere in the old town. |
ŠERUGA
Dolenjska |
 |
Tourist farm to the south east of Ljubljana.
A little idyll cosied up in the forested hills of Dolenjska. Autumn is the perfect time to get there - what with the harvest, and all that: the smell of home cooking will give your nose a holiday all of its own. |
PULE ESTATE
Dolenjska |
 |
Exclusive chalet hotel.
Specialising in horse riding, the Pule has five magnificent Lipizzaners. There are also mountain bikes to hire and endless hiking trails. Great restaurant. Vineyards nearby. |
BELICA
Goriška Brda |
 |
Hotel set in its own vineyard.
Explore the region's myriad wine growers by day - sleep long by night. |
VILA PARK
Bohinj |
 |
Child-free idyllic little hotel, set back from the ('right end of the') lake.
Plenty of water sports, hiking (or traipsing, as we call it), but if you take our advice, you'll just be shloofing and lazing. |
VILA BLED
Lake Bled |
 |
Tito's ex-residence beside the western shore.
Sit back and watch the golden, falling leaves reveal the blue expanse of the lake. Take a walk in the surrounding hills, and return to the best restaurant in the region. |
