A visit to Slovenia is great cultural experience. The people are very welcoming, interested in meeting visitors from other countries. This region is more traditional than most and travellers will understand how day to day life might have been in past times.

Hope to come back to see you one day,
Agnès.
They welcome people into their sweet little home straight away and always try to make you feel at home. Their house is certainly off the beaten track, high in the hills (the views are incredible!) but at the same only 15 minutes drive from the village and not much further to the cute little city of Ptuj, I… read more
Majda was so warm and generous with sharing her knowledge and understanding and able to see me as a whole person. And she went out of her way to share the surroundings and culture with us in some truly enjoyable ways. John has a time of humor from the start which was… read more
The work was enjoyable, in the hills, and didn't feel like work at all. The farm is so peaceful and quiet; the only sounds being from nature.
I couldn't recommend them enough! Thanks for everything Majda and John.
