We went for a week and could have stayed a month if we could have. The host, Alenka and her husband Marco were amazing. Great attention to detail, everything was super clean and organized. Four individual suites with super comfortable beds and full bathrooms, as well as side tables and a desk.
Breakfast and dinner are included, and with the sheer size of the breakfast I didn't need to eat lunch for a week! Every day homemade bread, preserves, farm eggs, homemade Slovenian sausages, cereals with farm yogurt and farm milk, and fresh local fruit. Every dinner starts with a delicious homemade soup, followed by platters of meat produced on the farm and fresh vegies from the garden. I can't forget to mention Alenka's homemade schnapps flavored with the local herbs and fruit, which she welcomed us with on our first day, and provided spontaneously throughput our stay, free of charge.
We were there for the fly fishing on the Savinje River, which is pristine and loaded with fish thanks to national conservation efforts and the work of the local fishing society. If you don't fish, the area is a nature lovers dream, with cycling, alpine hiking, and spectacular natural beauty, from the pastoral lowlands to the giant peaks and waterfalls. Overall an amazing experience and very good value for the hospitality received. Thank you...

The house has been in the same family for many generations and the current owner has had it lovingly restored. The rooms are immaculately clean. The common area and breakfast room are beautifully built out with lots of wood carving and a gigantic kachelofen to keep you warm. Every detail has been thought of. The dishware matches the curtains which match the light fixtures. But the best part is the proprietress herself. She welcomed us with a warm smile and could not have been more open in making us feel immediately right at home. She allowed us to park our motorcycles out of the way behind the house. Rooms are large and well appointed. Breakfast included homemade sausages, preserves, bread etc... Normal coffee, Turkish coffee and tea to choice. With a few days advance notice, she would also provide dinner. I have stayed in many, many Gasthauses' in Europe over the past 30 years and can without reservation state that this is my favorite. I will...
Read moreWe had a nice vegan lunch yesterday at Farm stay Bukovje near Ljubno ob Savinji. Vegan meals should be prebooked. I will say that it was very delicious. We had asparagus soup, followed by rice, baked potatoes, tofu štrukelj and salad. For dessert energy balls with a taste of apple pie. I was actually impressed of how the staff understood what veganism means as this is a farm restaurant in the middle of a remote countryside. 5...
