Vi hade underbara dagar i Matthews hus i Podmelec. Fastigheten är vackert inredda, i byn Podmelec finns ingenting - utom naturen - och det var precis vad vi letade efter. Vi välkomnades varmt, haft möjlighet att kontakta oss med frågor via SMS till Matthew och Stefka och har absolut ingenting att klaga på. Tack vare de två :-)

Matthew's house is wonderful - full of beautiful objects and images, and located in a lovely, quiet village. We had a perfect stay - Matthew has provided everything you need, including a lovely BBQ on the balcony. The house provides a brilliant base for exploring the area - which is full of stunning walks and amazing spots for swimming. We would love to return. Thank you!

Ett vackert hus i en vacker miljö. Detta är det perfekta stället att komma bort från allt. Jag kunde inte rekommendera det nog. Jag önskar att jag hade stannat kvar längre!

Fantastische Rückzug, viel zu sehen und zu tun in der Nähe. Das Eigentum ist mit guten architektonischen Details fertig sind, einen angenehmen Aufenthalt, und im Winter warm. Nicht zu schwierig zu finden, und ein herzliches Willkommen von Stefka.

If all Slovenian people are like Stefka (the host), it must be great to live in this country. If all English designers are as creative as Matthew, I would live in England. We stayed ther five nights without leaving anywhere as we really enjoyed just being there. the place has a heart and soul. It is rare to find this hight level of design and style in Airbnb homes: the sense for detail and authentic materials blended with modern usability. Stefka is a very nice person and was always ready to help. Thank you!

Matthews Kobarid hem är helt underbar. Bland höjdpunkterna finns den välsorterade kök (som vi efter att ha köpt några lokala råvaror på Planika marknaden), härliga sovrum, stort badkar, veranda med utsikt över tornet och genomtänkt design. Tack Matthew, för att vara en underbar och uppmärksam värd.

We had a fabulous time at the TRULY AMAZING Carpenter's Workshop this Christmas... We really were torn between going out and exploring the area and just staying in and enjoying the space that is the workshop. It was interesting to just look around and admire the work that Matthew has put into the place, both structurally and decoratively. Stefka was prompt to meet us when we arrived and did a great job at guiding us up to the property and seeing us in. Our first impressions were how clean, cosy and inviting the place looked. We were met with some splendid festive decorations and a lovely local hamper, including some local bread and cheese, among other things. Perfect for our late arrival, to see us through to the following day. There were all of the amenities one could possibly ask for, a beautiful and cosy wood burner, with plenty of fuel to keep us going. The view across the adjacent valley was incredible and despite the cool temperature outside, we regularly stepped foot out onto the balcony to admire it. There was plenty to do and explore in the local area, in fact we plan to return in the summer to some more exploring of the area. We can't say enough good things about the place. We'd definitely return and we'd definitely recommend to others.

A lovely house situated in a beautiful village in the Slovenian countryside. It is a great get away location with plenty of villages and towns to explore nearby. The house, which is beautifully decorated, is extremely cosy, and well equipped with kitchen implements and a good selection of dvd's! We especially loved the upstairs bathroom. Stefka came to meet us when we arrived and showed us around the place, we were also welcomed with a bottle of wine, bread, cheese and biscuits making us feel very at home! Would highly recommend!

We spent in Slovenia really nice time. Iztok and his wife are very nice people with big slovenian hearts. Apartmen is really big, nice and so cozy. Kneza is small but so unforgotable village. We were in Most na Šoča, car cable Vogel,slap Savica and Bovec. Slovenia is the most beautiful country we ever been. Iztok thank you very much. Lucia, Filip, Adam

We spent only one night in the beautiful house of Iztok and his wife. Place is amazing! And they hosted us like we are friends, not some random tourists who stayed there for less than 12 hours :) we highly recommend the place! Thank you

Our 2 nights at Reida Apartments were absolutely fabulous, we loved the apartment and the perfect surrounding (our kids did not want to leave). Iztok and Melenia were the most friendly and helpful hosts.

One of the best experiences from Airbnb we had visited! Everything has matched! The comfort, disign, the size of property. The estate is awesome! The real impression is better then on the pictures. We were extremely happy to rent it and moreover to meet personally Iztok and Milena. Hightly recommanded! Dear Iztok and Milena, thank you very much for your hospitality. Best wishes, Michel and Victoria.

Это один из лучших домов которые мы арендовали через сайт AirBnb! Особенно приятно что и в этот раз все совпало. Нам все понравилось, размер усадьбы, комфорт дома, место само по себе уникальное! Рекомендуем всем кто едет в Словению и кто планирует поездку в окресности Толмина. Огромное спасибо за гостеприимство хозяевам дома! С удовольстием вернемся! Мишель и Виктория.

If you are any where near here, book it. Ivan was a joy. Wish we had more time there. We messed up our date when we kept getting kicked off the internet. He took us in with open arms.

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

I'm not quite sure where to start my experience in Slovenia, I could start with the breath taking views of the mountains, the charming hamlets, or the welcoming people. While all those elements made mine and my wife's trip unforgettable, what made it a cozy, warm, and overall comfortable stay was John and his lovely, well equipped, and well set up home. Located about an hour from the capital, an hour from the beach, and an hour from castles and caves, John has a perfect location for those who really want to explore the country. The GPS we rented took us straight to his front door with no issues, so you don't have to worry about getting lost along the way. Though, full disclosure, many roads are built next to a cliff, there's a lot of sharp curves, and suddenly narrowing roads, so driving in Slovenia may not be for the faint of heart. But if you decide you don't want to drive and sit in the back yard here, you will quickly find yourself relaxed and at peace looking over the streams, trees and mountains. As for John himself, an incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable host who will be available to point you where ever your tourist heart wants to go. At your request and for an incredibly reasonable price, John will prepare you breakfast. I'd recommend you take that time to sit and talk with John, he's a wealth of knowledge and it seems everyone in the surrounding villages knows him, and an incredibly easy person to talk to. If I have to make a complaint, here it is. The photos do not do the sights or the home justice. I wish I had brought my big camera and try to truly capture the beauty of the place. In closing, Slovenia's mountains and towns will amaze you, John will make sure you see everything the country has to offer you, and John's home will feel like your home. Happy travels.

it was nice to stay in John's house. It was very easy to find it. Very nice and green natural environment. We had a good evening with John with a glass of beer and fun discussion.

Short form in English: Everything was more than perfect. We´d really enjoyed our stay at Hisa Brdo. Und ausführlicher in Deutsch ;) Ich war mit meinem Freund unterwegs und wurden nicht enttäuscht! John ist ein wahnsinnig netter, hilfsbereiter, weltoffener und interessanter Mensch. Er nimmt sich wirklich viel Zeit ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und sauber und das gesamte Haus ein kleiner Traum. Man sieht, dass alles mit sehr viel liebe zu Detail renoviert wurde. Das Haus liegt in der Nähe eines kleinen Dorfes. Die Landschaft ist sehr schön und wenn man sich ein wenig für die Natur interessiert, gibt es eine Menge zu entdecken. z.B. sind die Tolminer Klammen ist nicht weit weg. Wir werden auf jeden Fall nochmal nach Slowenien fahren und bei John bleiben. Ich kann Hisa Brdo uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!

We had a wonderful time in John's house. The location, the stunning view from the garden who seems to plunge into the mountains, the warming welcome and kindness of John, all was memorable...We were also very touched by the care and attention with which the room is decorated and crafted with solid and noble materials. The bed is big and confortable, opened to a terrasse, the garden and the mountains, with a beautiful bathroom. A wonderful place, highly recommandable fo everyone looking for peace, tranquility, intimacy and sheer beauty

The Carpenters Lodge is a great get-away location in rural Slovenia. The bathrooms are amazing, the kitchen well equipped and the setting beautiful. Wifi is intermittent so great to escape but, while we were there, couldn't be relied upon for work. The living room is cosy with a great leather chair and a well used (read slightly deflated!) sofa. The location is brilliant if, like us, you wanted to be out of the way of busy life. The nearest shop is 15mins away by car. Stefka was hugely hospitable and a pleasure to meet. It was a pleasure to stay there and I'm sure we'll be back.

Täydellinen paikka tutustua alueeseen

We had a wonderful time over Christmas in Carpenter's Lodge. The cottage is beautiful and wonderfully authentic. Bathrooms and kitchen are modern, well-equipped and very clean. The underfloor heating was a very nice surprise. The surroundings are picture-perfect, a haven for tranquility and relaxation.

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, out of the way location! The cottage is charming and Stefka greeted us with delicious Slovenian wine, cheese, bread and cookies! Lovely! We did day trips and we're always happy to come back to the cottage at the end of the day. The road to Podmelec is quite narrow, but doable! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Simply a stunning lovely Place, you can feel and see Matthews passion for renovation in every single room. All new items carefully match the ancient house, see the nice sink on a barrel, and loads of tiny lovely details. We felt at home almost immediately. Of course Stefka's perfect introduction and welcome has a great part of it.Inside all needed information regarding activities / brochures was available The area is of course rural Slovenia in its best and for us this is really the good point for relaxing, coming from Munich we enjoyed the quietness of the evening forest surrounding the house and the village. You can hear all the birds in the trees that you lack in the city. For us even the location was perfect, within 15 min by car ( if you like the narrow roads of course (-:) you can reach the next towns with all shops you need and of course sports activities. We have been roadcycling and hiking and simply having a good time. The wireless was no problem for us, simply respect that that house has thick handbuild walls, it worked fine all the week ! We strongly recommend this place for everybody looking for a real relaxing and quiet time.

Sehr schönes Haus. Sauber, innen sehr guter Zustand der Einrichtung, sehr nette und hilfsbereite Personen, Grillmöglichkeit vor dem Haus, tolle Aussicht, absolute Ruhe. Nachteile: Kein Parkplatz, sehr enge Straßen, alles ist sehr weit entfernt (Restaurants, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten ca. 25km Landstraßen), W-LAN nicht gut empfangbar, Stechmücken (da keine Netze an den Fenstern). Würden wieder hingehen :)

Matthew war unglaublich aufmerksam und zuvorkommend unserer Last-Minute-Buchung. Stefka begrüßte uns herzlich zur Unterkunft und sorgte dafür, dass wir vor dem Verlassen unserer Familie bequem waren die schön gestaltete Häuschen und eine ruhige Umgebung zu genießen. Die unberührte Julian Alpen hat so viel Aktivität weise zu bieten. Würde gerne Besuch eines Tages wieder zu kommen. Dank Matthew

Matthieu et Stefka étaient très gentils et serviables avec notre séjour et d'arrivée et venus nous chercher à la gare, car nous avons voyagé sans voiture. La maison était très propre et l'intérieur comme le décrivait. Les lits étaient confortables et il y avait une bonne sélection de films à regarder. La chute d'eau à proximité est grande et il est très agréable de passer une journée chaude et il y a le petit village et la vue de la maison est belle. Il était triste, que la zone est assis à l'extérieur pas très agréable, il est tellement différent du soin avec lequel l'intérieur est aménagée. L'eau de la maison et chaude est chauffée avec un réservoir d'huile, qui est directement sous le salon et on pouvait sentir l'huile, surtout le soir quand nous avons dû fermer les portes et les fenêtres à cause des moustiques. Il cadrerait bien mieux avec ce bel endroit si le nouveau toit aurait été équipé de panneaux solaires.

My stay at Kneza was truly amazing. I felt very welcomed and a bit like home. The landscape is breathtaking and i would like to come back for a longer stay. I was provided with everything i needed and even got a lovely breakfast with homemade bread and jam. I highly recommend this place for everyone who wants a unique experience in the slovenian mountains.

It's a great place. Stunning views of the valley and not too far to drive into most na soci. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. They were wonderful hosts who made everything easy and were very happy to help. Would definitely recommend to friends. The BBQ area is amazing.

This place is an amazing find. Milena and Iztok are very warm and inviting and made me feel right at home. They made a breakfast for me in the morning , complete with homemade dear sausage, local butter and cheeses, bread, fruit, juice, coffee, etc. so good! The bed is comfortable and the view from the terrace is gorgeous. The next town over, Most na soči, is a lovely little village with a restaurant by the river, Śterm, which is definitely worth a visit! It has a panoramic view of the town and river confluences, plus amazing food and friendly staff. I am so glad I visited and would recommend to anyone and everyone!!

Nous avons passé un moment très agréable en Ljubinj et nous recommanderions absolument le chalet aux amoureux de la nature. Tout est allé très lisse et nous nous sommes sentis très bien accueillis. Les environs sont magnifiques et vaut bien le (pour nous duchés) contestant parfois les routes de montagne.

We had a lovely week in the house of Damian. It's been really worked beautifully with how much love the detail here. Again and again we discovered new things, often they have brought us to smile. The village is small and quiet, except for the church bells, a few sheep in the pasture opposite the house and occasionally a donkey was nothing to hear. The only thing we had in mind different is the garden. Somehow we did not realize that it is visible from all sides. Just my daughter, who sometimes wanted to just get put half a day only once a book is it was uncomfortable. (For this purpose, would also similar deckchair missing) .For food it is however sufficient. After Tolmin it is comfortably driven about 15 minutes. On the way our GPS sent by Austria on the A23 over Italy on the SS54 and then over the pass to Slovenia to 203 us. Feeling it took an eternity to mention our gut feeling quite. Fortunately, we have found in the house information on the car train from Most na Soci to Bohinjska Bistrica. This stretch was perfect for us. We have taken the train at 7:34 PM (Warning 7:10 pm we were at the station and we were the second last which matched the train and reservation is not possible before.). Then by the Karawankentunnel and jerk twitch we were back in Austria on flat roads :-).

Хороший и очаровательный традиционный 3-этажный каменный дом, аккуратно отремонтированы и с любовью к деталям. Это очень хорошей отправной точкой для окружающих достопримечательностей вокруг Толмин и Кобарид и для походов в Триглав национальный парк.

A lovely place where we felt very welcomed. Thank the host for everything. The house fits the needs of our familiy with 5 kids (6 month, 3, 8, 12 and 14 years old) perfectly and we all felt very comfortable. We loved the nature styled interior and all the lovely details. It was a pleasure to have a BBQ in the night in the garden. The village is a very good starting point to discover the Soca-region.

What a great host. Although he was not in town, Emmanuel managed to give us the feeling of being more than welcome. The communication with him before and during the stay was very friendly and helpful. We got the keys to the apartment in Most Na Soci, which is close to his apartment. It was very easy to find and no problem at all. Emmanuels place is great. The flat is close to the lake of Most Na Soci and a lot of other amazing places. Some small shops are nearby aswell. Just a few meters away there is the Baca river - only separated from the house by a small road. The river at the house is perfect for a cool bath. The road has a little more traffic in the morning hours and thus is a little noisy if you sleep with open windows, but nevertheless we were completely happy with our choice. The apartment is newly furnished. It has all you need and is excellently equipped. We had a lot of fun cooking in the kitchen and hanging around on the terrace at the wooden table. I would definitely recommend to stay at Emmanuels house and would love to come back. Thanks!

This is a wonderful house with special modern care and a touch of old, Slovenian style. John took the time to make it a special stay for my husband and myself. We will absolutely be back to explore more of Slovenia, but until then please don't hesitate to stay with John. The location is great for those who enjoy outdoor activities and John is more than willing to point you in the right direction on where to take the best hikes and to see the best sights. He makes the most delicious breakfast, too!

Very pleasant stay. Familiar atmosphere in the beautiful mountains in a very special place. Thank you and your family for this trip.

Great guy, great appartement!

It was great to be there! Everything was good, clean. Owners were kind. I recommend it! If we go to the neighbourhood again, we plan to stay there.

Nik was very nice and helpful. Also the family was really nice. The flat is cute and we felt very welcome and cosy. The area is absolutely beautiful and the Soce-river and all the mountains are close by.

Nik è stato un host perfetto, ci ha accolto molto cordialmente e ci ha dato tutte le informazioni sul luogo. La cittadina è molto bella e non distante da Canale d' Isonzo e Caporetto.
