Village Among Vineyards Near The Seaside

A beautifully renovated house in the unspoiled countryside of Dragonja Valley National Park makes an ideal base to discver nearby amazing natural sights. A countryside location in a peaceful village is allowing you to experience a rural retreat. At the same time is close enough to major towns Koper, Ljubljana, Pula, Trieste and Venice for those who enjoy exploring the area.

Slightly further from the property at a two and a half hour drive away, is the Soča River. The emerald green water in the middle of mountains is a natural beauty. Plus, not to be missed are the cave systems in the area - the Škocjan Caves are the most important underground phenomenon in the Karst region and Slovenia and are among the most important caves in the world.

There are also beaches within a drive of the property and in the colder months, visitors can enjoy thermal spas - at hotels in the nearby towns (they are not towns, just Izola is town, but perhaps it is not important) of Portorose, Bernardin, Krka in Strunjan and San Simon in Izola.
