Top choice in Southeastern Slovenia

Heavy on timber, natural materials and nature-inspired colours, the spacious contemporary rooms (nearly all with big balconies complete with sun loungers) are just the ticket for a relaxing getaway. Bag a back-facing room for views over the park.
One fully accessible room for wheelchair users is available.
