Villas in Slovenia

Despite its small size, Slovenia has a wide range of villas to stay in during your holidays. The proximity between cities makes it easy for the traveller to move around so most of them stay in more than one place when visiting the country. The east side, and probably the less popular, is dramatic and attractive with lots of vineyards and you can find your villa in the towns of Maribor or Ptuj. For scenic views, nothing better than the Soca Valley, with the emerald green colours of the Soca River and the beautiful towns of Kobarid, Bovec and Tolmin. Nature lovers will be in heaven if they book the villa in the most dramatic valleys of Europe, in Logarska Dolina and Savinja Alps. City lovers must head to Ljubljana and beach enthusiasts must look for a villa in Piran, Koper or Izola.

Finding a villa for groups in Slovenia is very easy. There is a wide selection of large properties that can accommodate up to 16 people! Big families, groups and large gatherings can comfortably fit in these magnificent villas. Some villas are close to the beach and others, more inland, have their own private pool so you can enjoy those hot summer days lazing by it, taking a dip and unwinding yourself, reading a book under the shade of the trees. Enjoy late evenings outside in the patios and terraces where there is usually a barbecue. Have an amazing time in Slovenia!
