We felt very welcomed. Even before we arrived, the communication was good and friendly. All our questions were answered immediately. It's a lovely house, with a beautiful view, and very close to the Rogla ski area. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend it to other families. In the winter, the wood-burning stove is wonderful and cozy. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful house.

Thank you for your kind comments. We are pleased that you enjoyed your holiday. Hopefully we will be able to welcome you again.
We really enjoyed our stay and managed to ski every day at nearby Rogla which is a great resort for beginners and rusty intermediates.
The house was perfect.It was clean and warm with plenty of space. And the views were wonderful.
Clive was very helpful and responded quickly to messages.
I would definitely recommend his place and Slovenia as a whole.
This was an amazing place to stay we could not have wished for more. Gorgeous place, all amenities, very clean brilliantly laid out and a new breathtaking view every morning. Stunning does not begin to describe the views! Local walks are in fabulous forest lots of different tracks and routes to walk/cycle. Minor issues sorted out with excellent communication from Clive.Neighbours who help look after the property, they even put our rubbish out for collection..Will definitely be returning.

Unfortunately the guest who has made this comment came on holiday with many dogs and left our house in a disgraceful condition resulting in extra cleaning costs and an expensive living room rug having to replaced. This was very disappointing as In over ten years of renting we have never experienced such a problem with any of our guests. Consequently we have had to change our policy and can no longer welcome pets into our house. We have never had any complaints about the cleanliness of our house which strongly suggests this our only negative review has been motivated by the feedback we were obliged to provide post stay for this guest.
This was our second stay in this beautiful house. It is perfect if you like beautiful scenery, short drive to Rogla ski resort, quiet, absolutely beautiful.
Excellent restaurant near by and several supermarkets. The weather was amazing and plenty of snow.
We enjoyed skiing in Rogla and would highly recommend it.
Excellent communication with the owner, very helpful. Hoping to come back next year.
Thank you

Thank you. That’s a nice review and some good tips for other guests.
We had a wonderful time in the house. Beautiful view of the valley while eating breakfast on the balcony. The house was in tip top condition. Since we were traveling shortly after the flooding I was grateful that the owner was reachable and able to answer questions about the situation in Slovenia. I can highly recommend Clive's house.

A lovely house in a tranquil and beautiful location
Eastern Slovenia doesn't have the hustle of Western Slovenia in August and for that reason you can have a great holiday here.
The mountains are different, high rolling pastures backed by miles and miles of forest makes ideal hiking and biking country. Road bikes, gravel bikes or mountain bikes will be at home here...just be aware if you are on a road bike that some of the higher roads are not paved...gravel!!
The scenery is spectacular, the people are very friendly and the food is excellent.
The house was large and comfortable....the only downside (for 5 of us) was one bathroom...but that is the only negative and you know before you come. Other than that I would recommend anyone who loves the mountains or beautiful scenery to come and spend a week or more here!
House was exactly as described, spacious , very clean , lovely neighborhood . View from the balcony was beautiful. Excellent communication with the host, very helpful. One thing that was really missing were bath towels. I know they were not mentioned in the description but I think this is essential . It's difficult for a whole family travelling from abroad to bring towels for everyone. Given that the bed linen needs changing, I'm sure the towels could be washed at the same time. Also, a hairdryer would be convenient. Apart from this we had a lovely stay and will hopefully be back! Thank you

Peaceful, idyllic retreat
We enjoyed a peaceful week in this fantastic retreat. The house is just beautiful, unique, and charming. Spacious, comfortable, well-equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed quiet mornings, meals, and views on the outside dining patio. The surrounding rolling hills provide ample opportunity for mountain biking, running, walking. Ptuj, the oldest town in Slovenia, is very pretty and worth a visit. Since we were there during the summer heat, we would sightsee during the morning and cool off in a Terme park during the afternoon. Ptuj’s waterpark is new, very nice, but crowded - to be expected. We enjoyed the Terme Zrece swimming complex, as well; its’ a short drive from the house. We also visited the Museum of Evolution in Krapina, Croatia, at the site where a significant discovery of Neanderthal man was found. The town does not offer much, but the museum is impressive, very well done. We thoroughly enjoyed the fantastic Pekel (Hell’s) Cave, 5km north of nearby Sempeter. These cool caverns were an inviting respite from the August heat and surprisingly uncrowded. The tour guide was fantastic. The Roman Necropolis in Sempeter was an interesting site, as the guide gave us an energetic, entertaining and informative tour. So, we really learned about the mythological inspired motifs. We highly recommend this wonderful vacation home and thank Clive and Ruth for sharing it. Karen, Brian & family.

A really nice review, it is interesting to hear about some places that we haven't yet visited.
Maison vraiment très agréable. On s’y sent comme chez soi. Elle est bien entretenue et est au calme, lumineuse et bien décorée. Il y a tout ce dont nous avons besoin. Vue sur les montagnes. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour avec nos 3 enfants.
Voor de wifi hebben we een eigen device, ervaring met internet in Slovenië. Het huis kende we van vorig jaar en het voelde als thuis komen. Prachtig en mooi ingericht huis met hele mooie uitzichten. Mijn foto's zijn te groot, krijg ik hier niet even makkelijk geplaatst maar ik heb er genoeg gemaakt.
Das Haus ist wilrklich prima.Freundliche Nachbarn. Tolle Aussicht. Lesenswerte Büchersammlung, gute Film-DVDs.Viele lohnenswerte Ausflugsziele in der Berglandschaft.
Wie schon von vielen geschrieben, es liegt an einem Berg. Der Weg dorthin ist sehr kurvenreich. Schön gelegen. Kuhglocken und Hahnkrähen sollten einen nicht stören.
Das Grundstück ist leider nicht umzäunt.
Das Haus und dessen Einrichtung ist schon in die Jahre gekommen und man sollte in ein Badfenster unbedingt investieren.
Soweit recht schön, allerdings ist das Objekt etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
Es gibt gegen Abend wirklich viele Ameisen unter dem Mittelblock in der Küche, danach sollte mal jemand schauen.
Aber alles recht sauber und vor allem ruhig.
😉😉
Schöne, ruhige Hanglage mit tollem Blick ins Tal und auf die Berge. Die Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (Supermärkte) wenige Kilometer entfernt in Zrece fanden wir ausgezeichnet ebenso das Restaurant in Gorenje (3km).
Das Haus ist sehr schön und gemütlich eingerichtet und bietet viel Platz auch für 4 Erwachsene (einzige Einschränkung: nur 1 Bad). In der Küche findet man alles, was man benötigt inklusive einiger Gewürze und einem guten Messerblock.
Der Vermieter war super freundlich und stets erreichbar. Wir haben den Aufenthalt trotz eher schlechtem Wetter sehr genossen! Gerne wieder!
Tolle Lage in der Natur. Wir waren mit Familie und unserem Hund und wollten die 4 Tage einfach nur entspannen. Dazu ist dieses Apartment genial. Alles da, sauber, geschmackvoll eingerichtet, Tolle Lage in wirklich schöner Umgebung. Wenn man die urbane Nähe braucht, ist es etwas ab vom Schuss.
Uns hat es sehr gefallen hier.

About the host
Hosted by Clive Tucker
Ruth and I are from Northern England, where we live and work, we love the outdoors all year round, and have found Slovenia to be a very special place, which we try to visit in each season of the year. Our house is very much our second home, We count ourselves incredibly fortunate be able to come here and have been made to feel very welcome by the local people as Planina is very much a community and not just a tourist destination. We like the tremendous diversity that Slovenia has to offer from coast to mountain and everything in between.
Why they chose this property
There really was no contest, this was the first house we viewed in Slovenia and easily the best. The drive up to Planina is breathtaking. We have everything so close by that we could possibly need, whilst we have the peace and solitude of our unspoilt location we are also situated very well for the necessities of shops, restaurants etc. We love the open plan aspect of the house and over the years we have continually updated so that we have everything that we need.
What makes this property unique
Because we treat this house as our second home it is an investment that we are very proud of, and we want our guests to feel the same. It always pleases us to hear how much our guests have enjoyed their stay hear because Planina is a special place and we want our guests to have a great holiday.
