Pikol — Hotel in Nova Gorica

First of all, the location and surroundings are absolutely beautiful, they also have, besides the restaurant, glamping huts on the lake. We were there for Week of the Restaurant (Teden restavracij) for the set dinner menu. The atmosphere in the restaurant was, in my opinion, not as inviting as it could be due to dead stuffed animals (bear and fish), which I really believe do not belong in an upscale restaurant.

And this is the reason I'm giving 3 stars. I believe major improvements should be done on the service part, and waiters should be educated on how to make sure all the guests are served in a...

This is for the cabins not the restaurant as we didn’t eat there. We really enjoyed the time we spent here in Pilkol. The sounds of nature and relaxing in the hot tub were amazing and much needed for us. The cabins are re comfortable and cozy with a super comfortable bed! Each morning a picnic basket was delivered to our stoop and we enjoyed a lovely breakfast on the deck on the back of the cabin. Our hostess was wonderful and extremely helpful with our questions and made sure that our stay was pleasant. If you need a getaway this is a great place and a short drive gets you...
