“Mrs. Ana was so lovely that she drove me and my boyfriend to pick up our car, which we had left at the source of the Soča so we could do the Soča Trail, thus providing us with an unforgettable experience—a full-day walk along the Soča River.”
“She knows the region and is full of advice and great tips for activities, sights and everything. The rooms are nice, the food is good, the location is great, and there are plenty of little spots to sit outside and calm down after a day of hiking.”
“An exceptional location, between the Great and the Little Soča Gorge, close to Šumikov gaj, Lepena and Trenta.”
“We were welcomed very friendly. … We were given great recommendations for hiking and the lunch package was so huge, we ate several times from it.”
“Excellent location for hiking and watersports on Soca without staying in busy Bovec. Solo traveller, was made to feel extremely welcome and Anya and her team were really friendly and helpful.”
“Anja was very helpful and supportive every day. A PERFECT hostess! She has recommended just the right side trips for our trip and we took a full advantage of her knowledge.”
