Our chalet is perfectly nestled in the serene village of Borjana, just a few kilometers from Kobarid, the Italian border, and the medieval town of Cividale del Friuli. It offers the perfect escape for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Our unique property, recognized as part of Slovenia's national heritage, blends tradition and modern comfort. Built with respect for its original structure, the chalet has been thoughtfully modernized to provide warmth, charm, and modern amenities. With grand south-facing windows, the chalet is bathed in sunlight from dawn to dusk. Inside, you’ll find 100 m² of space, including two bedrooms, a cozy living room, an open-plan kitchen, a large dining area, and two bathrooms with showers.

We look forward to welcoming you to this magical corner of Slovenia!

After 20 odd years in London we decided 2023 to pack our bags and belongings and move to Slovenia. The unspoiled beauty of the Julian Alps and the close proximity of Italy and Austria made this an easy escape of the big city we have lived in before, with nature on our doorstep but the possibility to visit other countries in no time at all. We are both keen travelers, foodies, cycling enthusiasts, nature lovers and always open for new adventures.

The area is renowned for outdoor adventures, including kayaking, rafting, canyoning, and other activities on the emerald-green Soca River. For those who love hiking and cycling, the region offers numerous scenic routes, including the Peace Walk, while the nearby Kozjak Waterfall hike and trails in Triglav National Park provide unforgettable experiences. Just a short walk from the house, you can swim in the Nadiza River, one of the warmest Alpine rivers, perfect for a refreshing dip in summer. The nearby village of Kobarid is rich in history and home to the acclaimed 1st World War Museum, a must-visit for history enthusiasts. For a unique day trip, explore the stunning Skocjan Caves (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) or the famous Postojna Cave, both offering breathtaking underground adventures. The chalet’s proximity to Italy opens up a world of discovery. Visit the medieval village of Cividale del Friuli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or Udine, whose Venetian-style architecture and vibrant piazzas are a delight to explore. For wine lovers, the region where Prosecco is made is within easy reach, offering tastings and scenic vineyard tours. The charming coastal city of Trieste, with its rich culture and stunning views of the Adriatic Sea, is also perfect for a day trip. Monte Lussari, a picturesque Italian village and ski destination, is about an hour away and ideal for both winter sports and summer hikes with spectacular panoramic views. Families and nature enthusiasts will also enjoy the Tolmin Gorges, a stunning natural wonder with walking paths and picnic spots. For culinary lovers, the region boasts excellent local restaurants serving Slovenian and Italian specialties, including frika (cheese and potato omelet) and dishes made with fresh local produce. Wineries in the area also offer wine tastings for an authentic taste of the region. Finally, Slovenia’s vibrant capital, Ljubljana, is just a 2-hour drive away.
