Fantastic Retreat!

Natasa and Sasa were gracious, generous, welcoming hosts. They went above and beyond to make us comfortable and share information about their beautiful country. Iska Retreat is such a special spot. Give yourself a few nights so you have time to settle in, relax and enjoy all the seating areas outside. We wished we had more time.

Ferienhaus in wunderschöner Lage und sehr nette Gastgeber

Der Aufenthalt in der Iska-Schlucht war sehr abwechslungsreich, da die Umgebung sehr viel bietet. Die Hauptstadt ist nah, man kann sehr schön wandern und baden. Das Ferienhaus war sehr sauber und praktisch eingerichtet. Die Gastgeber waren in jeder Hinsicht zuvorkommend, sprechen ausgezeichnet Englisch und Deutsch. Sie halfen uns bei der Planung von Unternehmungen in der Umgebung und standen diskret mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Vielen Dank für die schönen Tage und viele Grüße von Susanne und Martin

Entspanntes Wandern und Baden

Wohnen direkt in der Natur mit eigener Sonnenterrasse und Hängematte, Wanderungen von schwer bis sehr entspannt möglich, Baden und Wasserwandern im Fluss (vor der Haustür) als Highlight der Unterkunft. Ansonsten sehr angenehme zuvorkommende Gastgeber (sprechen sehr gut Englisch). Viele Ausflugsmöglichkeiten in naher Umgebung-Lubljana, Höhlen... und vieles mehr. Sehr gut geeignet für Fam.mit Kindern zwischen 7-14 Jahren. Hat uns sehr gut gefallen.

Idylle abseits des Massentourismus

Wir haben zwei wunderschöne Wochen in diesem liebevoll gestalteten Häuschen im Wald verbracht. Und es sieht in echt wirklich so toll wie auf den Bildern aus. Wer Natur und Abgeschiedenheit mag, ist hier genau richtig. In der Umgebung ist von Tourismus selbst im August nichts zu spüren. Die Gastgeber helfen durch ihre freundliche und hilfsbereite Art sich wohlzufühlen.

Ein Paradies

Das Haus und der Garten sind toll und Nataša und Saša sind super Gastgeber! Wir haben die Zeit in ihrem wunderbaren Garten genossen, die Kinder haben gespielt, geschaukelt, Eidechsen und Kröten beobachtet und der Fluss und die Schlucht sind einfach toll! Ljubljana ist nah und wirklich einen Besuch wert und wir haben von dort auch weitere Ausflüge unternommen. Es war eine tolle Woche! Danke an Nataša und Saša!!

Rustige plek in een mooie kloof

Natasja en Sacha geven je het gevoel erg welkom te zijn. Wijn, koffie, zelfgemaakte specialiteiten, goede adviezen en tips, niets is teveel om je verblijf aangenaam te maken. Het huisje is klein maar comfortabel. Een prachtige tuin, de rivier dichtbij, terrassen rondom...maken dit dit tot een wonderbaarlijke plek. Voor ieder die van schoonheid houdt absoluut aan te bevelen.

Wohlfühlhäuschen in traumhafter Lage

Sehr schönes und liebevoll eingerichtetes Ferienhaus mitten im Wald in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Fluss. Wir wurden sehr freundlich von Natasha und Sasa empfangen, die uns während unseres ganzen Aufenthaltes das Gefühl gaben, liebe Gäste und keine fremden Touristen zu sein. Das Haus und der Außenbereich verfügen über viele liebevoll gepflegte Wohlfühloasen, wie die beiden schönen Terrassen, den Grillplatz und nicht zuletzt die mega-Schaukel im Garten. Die Betten sind gemütlich und nicht zuletzt Dank der selbstgefertigten Dinkelkissen sehr bequem, die Küchenzeile ist zwar klein, enthält aber alles, was das Herz begehrt (z.B. einen Milchaufschäumer und grundsätzliche Lebensmittel wie Zucker, Salz, Mehl, Öl und Gewürze). Alle wichtigen Ausflugsziele wie Ljubljana, die berühmten Höhlen von Postojna oder Bled können von hier aus innerhalb einer Stunde erreicht werden. Wir empfehlen diesen Ort wärmstens weiter an alle Individualisten, die einen besonderen Platz bei besonderen Menschen in absoluter Ruhe und naturnaher Lage suchen und bedanken uns herzlich bei Natasa und Sasa für die schöne Zeit!

Small, cousy house in beautifull environment

The house was small with good comfort. The garden (swing, hammoc) was great. The highlights were the hiking oppurtunities directly from the house.
