The Alpine Retreat is an easy 2km walk to the shores of Lake Bled. Offering spacious accommodation in a centuries-old, traditional farm house, that simply oozes character. With balcony, sunny south terrace and a shaded north-facing garden there are mountain views all round.
With free parking and wifi, this house suits families or small groups (max 6) seeking the peace and tranquillity of rural village life, with forest, hillside and riverside walks (Vintgar Gorge) from the doorstep.
The owners will not be at the house during guest stays.
The Alpine Retreat is sited in a well serviced village, with shop and restaurant / bar. Located beside the church at the heart of the old farming village of Zasip, you will feel at the centre of village comings and goings.
Sat on a ridge with commanding southerly views, and Bled Castle in clear view, you are just a few kilometres from Lake Bled, with all its tourist facilities, yet being in Zasip, on the doorstep of some wonderful countryside, you feel more in touch with the local way of life.
There are some amazing walks nearby, including a circuit to Vintgar Gorge, which is within easy striding distance of the doorstep.
With the exception of the basement boiler room and secure store rooms, guests will have access to the whole house.
The Alpine Retreat is both our second home and a professionally managed holiday rental apartment. For you this means that you can expect to find everything you need for a comfortable stay with the reassurance that help is close at hand should the need arise.
Although there are bus and train services from the village the use of a car, to explore the area's wonders, is recommended.
This house is in a quiet village setting and is therefore not suitable for noisy groups. It is best for families or respectful adults who enjoy forest and hillside walls from the doorstep, wild swimming in the nearby lakes, or simply relaxing in the garden and taking in the magnificent mountain backdrop.
