Many thanks to Jovana and Jan hosting us and making us feel like home . It was a pleasure spending the weekend over there , walking around , dining in th castle and enjoying the surroundings. This is not the high season so you make want to book some other month if you wish a more Vivid experience. By far, the very best steak Tatar I have ever tried in my entire life! Should visit for sure!

Amazing, romantic one night stay! The double room had a lovely view of the river and was spacious. The bed was fabulously comfortable, and the pillows of good quality. There were oodles of Salvatore Ferragamo amenities too. We did not eat dinner but breakfast was if an extremely high standard. There was also a welcome gift in the room of a platter of dried fruit and hazelnuts.

Lovely location and people.. but couldn't sleep

Hotel is charming.. almost magical. Staff are delightful. Thermostats in the room.. quite the opposite. Instead of letting you type in a set temperature, they only let you do a relative "more or less". I had mine at the coolest setting, and it still kept heating up my room like an oven. Fortunately by 4am I found just the right balance of windows to keep open (in late November!). Finally, the Bulgari bathroom amenities are luxurious, except that bath gel and shampoo are apparently the same thing- gross!

Charming castle with high-end service and food.

Wanted to spend the last night of our Slovenia trip in a bit different hotel. This castle is nice, quiet and peaceful. Restaurant is very good. Nature and the river surrounding the castle were really nice and offered a chance for a nice walk. Service is outstanding. Not for those seeking city life but a peaceful getaway.

A fairytale come true!

Staying in a castle that was charming & beautiful and having friendly and helpful staff was like a fairytale come true. The room we had was incredible. The design of the interior of the castle works so beautifully with the old world architecture. The setting was really like a fairytale complete with a moat! The restaurant had wonderful food and great wines and we were lucky enough to eat outside in the beautiful courtyard. The entire staff was helpful & friendly.
