Vacation Rental Description
Location
Located in Drobocnik, two kilometres above the beautiful village of Most na Soci in the Soca valley region of Slovenia, this exclusive property is about location. Perched on a plateau, the house boasts one of the most stunning views of the Soca river with a backdrop of the majestic Julian Alps.
Property
Full of fine antiques, the property itself is a huge, old, traditional farmhouse which has been lovingly and caringly restored, with no expense spared. With its thick walls and vaulted ceilings, the house is both warm in winter and cool in summer. On the ground floor, the traditional hefty stone floor is warm underfoot thanks to underfloor heating, as are all the bathrooms. Also on this floor is a large kitchen and formal dining room, a utility room, WC, sauna, wine cellar and an informal 'snug', complete with a huge plasma TV, beanbags, a large selection of dvds and an XBox and games. A beautiful rustic oak staircase leads up to the first floor with its three ensuite bedrooms and wide floorboards. The showpiece of the top floor is a 200 year old parquet masterpiece taken from an old palatial house in Ljubljana. A kitchen, open log fire, huge comfortable sofa, Sky TV and wireless internet are also located on the top floor, as is the master bedroom. Both kitchens have beautiful stone sinks and work tops, and the ovens and hobs are extremely high-quality. All necessary kitchen equipment is provided, including heavy-duty saucepans, toasters and kettles.
The house comprises four ensuite bedrooms, all with top quality beds and views of the Soca valley. Sleeping between eight to eleven people, there are two double rooms, one twin room and one room with two small doubles (ideal for two adults or four children!). There is also a single sofa bed with its own bathroom on the top floor. Every bathroom boasts a top of the range shower and deep bath. The larger bathrooms feature twin sinks and jacuzzi baths, to ensure that you experience this stunning country in style and luxury. Downstairs, there is a sauna and shower. Fluffy robes hang from the bedroom doors and equally fluffy towels hang from the heated radiators in the bathrooms. Slippers and hair dryers are also available. The tranquility of the area ensures perfect sleeping conditions and guests have informed us that it is very difficult to get out of bed in the mornings!
Garden/Dining
Outside, steps lead down to the swimming pool and paths lead around the extensive grounds and past many wild flowers to a cave at the bottom of the garden. There is a balcony, outdoor kitchen and eating area and many benches to sit and enjoy being outdoors. Fruit trees are numerous and include kiwis, walnuts, apples and pears. A herb and vegetable garden set in a beautiful old ruin mean you can pick your own produce on a daily basis.
A welcome hamper will be provided on arrival with everything you could want after a long days travelling. Continental breakfasts can be arranged and evening meals can be prepared by a top-class local chef so please enquire for more details if you are interested. Cleaning is provided twice weekly. A laundry and ironing service and babysitting are available at additional cost. Many activities are on offer, such as walking, fishing, wine-tasting, paragliding, bird-watching, hunting, skiing and a wide variety of watersports. The activities are obviously seasonal and some need to be booked in advance, which we can organise. A wide variety of local wines are available from the wine cellar, at extra cost.
Prices range from 1750-£3000 euro.
