The villa's peaceful location provides visitors with fantastic biking and hiking trails. Excellent restaurants showcasing the region's rich gastronomy can be found within ten kilometres, with local wine cellars even closer by. For a local delicacy, make sure to try some delicious Karst prosciutto!
The supreme air quality of the Karst is a source of pride for its local people, who attribute the freshness of the air and the clear blue skies to the Bora wind. Relaxing in the pure, crisp air of the region is restorative in every way, making you want to spend as much of your time as possible outdoors. Pack a picnic and make your way to Italy's Sistiana Bay, where you can spend the day swimming on the beach of Castelreggio, overlooked by the beautiful Duino Cliffs.

The bustling Italian port of Trieste is also within driving distance, so city lovers can stroll along the streets before stopping off for a coffee at the iconic Caffè San Marco. Even closer to home, you will find the unique Lipica Stud Farm, a specially protected area of natural beauty home to over three hundred mesmerising Lipizzan horses.
If you want to make the most of this unique location by doing something different, perhaps a day trip to the astonishing wonders of Postojna Cave is on the agenda. Here, you can take in the underground sights while travelling by train on the oldest cave railway in the world. Located nearby, Predjama Castle is an imposing Rennaissance structure built into the mouth of a cave on a dramatic cliffside. The limestone system of the Škocjan Caves is another awe-inspiring attraction that includes one of the world's largest known underground river canyons, making it a well-deserved UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Sensational
The communication with the landlady Vilma was perfect right from the start. All questions were answered quickly and in detail. In the When we got there, Vilma was already waiting for us on a Sunday afternoon and showed us the house and the grounds. The fridge was stocked with salad, vegetables, and delicacies from the local deli. On the kitchen table was a basket filled with vinegar, oil, pasta and a few nibbles. In addition, a well-chilled bottle of white wine, three selected bottles of craft beer, as well as gin and tonic. This is exactly how a holiday should begin. The house itself leaves nothing to be desired, the kitchen is perfectly equipped, the appliances are all of the highest quality. There is a fireplace (we didn't need it), a separate wine fridge (we needed it) and lots of interesting literature to browse through. Outside there is a kitchen with a gas grill and of course the hot tub for up to four people. Furthermore, in the outbuilding there is a storage room in which we really found everything you could need as a holidaymaker. There were beach mats, umbrellas, badminton rackets, games, everything felt like it. Sensational. Vilma and Andrej were always available for questions, which is also a priceless service. All in all a dream holiday in a great property, absolutely recommendable and worth every euro.
