Our Slovenian Farmhouse

Self-catering Apartments by Lake Bled

More of a home than a holiday home

100 year old Farmhouse Katričnek has been lovingly renovated into three high-quality apartments. Working closely with our Slovenian architect and the local heritage board, we were determined to preserve the charm of the building as much as possible during its transformation into quality holiday accomodation. Several years later, after much hard work, we're proud to welcome you to our Farmhouse; some of the finest holiday accommodation Slovenia has to offer. Forgive us if we sound a bit smug but it's turned out really well and we're pleased as punch.

Outside.

New for 2009 is our outdoor swimming pool! Sitting in a secluded part of the garden, it will be a great place to chill out and relax. In the evening, you can warm back up again in the jacuzzi which sits in a screened off section of the front garden so you can gaze up at the stars or the clear blue sky while your troubles get bubbled away. The back garden, meanwhile sits under a a huge cliff that surrounds the village and helps to create its own rather toasty micro climate (and in fact is used to solar heat the pool). There's a large undercover BBQ area and mini orchard with benches and loads of room to lie back and sunbathe or go pixie hunting- depending on how mature you're feeling. Like country holidays in the movies, you can pick your breakfast off the vine, or grill your dinner on the barbecue under the cliff. Climb up to the top if you'd like to go exploring, but be careful please, it's high and we get nervous. You can always just hang around on the balcony where the views are nearly as fantastic and pleasantly close to the fridge and the sofa.

Inside.

Inside you'll find all the comforts of home with none of the hassle or distractions, but you can read more about that on the next page... The Apartments.

Nearby.

Everyone wants different quantities of relaxation and adventure on a family holiday in Slovenia. Some like just a tablespoon of one while others want jugs of the stuff. Helpfully, the Farmhouse is both tranquil and very accessible (just 30 minutes from the airport) allowing you to mix your holiday cocktail exactly how you like it.

You can lounge away the morning at Bled in a lakeside café, tour the island church, then pop into a shop or two before dinner. If you're feeling a little more Indiana Jones you can head down to Lake Bohinj and paraglide out across the beautiful Triglav National Park. There are more activities at Bohinj than you can shake a paddle at, from horse-riding to rock-climbing and everything in between. And once we get everything finished off, you'll be able to head back home, grab your robe and meander downstairs to the private wellness centre for some top class pampering. Lovely.

Feel free to skip the rest of the site and go straight to the Activities section or jump ahead to the Wellness Centre. We won't mind.
