All of the original features of the house have been retained, there are exposed ceiling beams to all floors, original sanded doors and flooring throughout, a wood burning stove, a modern fitted kitchen with granite work surface, a dishwasher and a variety of quality appliances to ensure an enjoyable stay.

Mar 26, 2018 #### Outstanding stay at a beautiful house in the middle of the village Very nicely decorated house with good quality fixtures and fittings, and lots of space, on many floors. The views from the house to the surrounding valley and mountains is breath taking. ##### Jason W. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2018 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anja M. Aug 11, 2017 #### Kleines Haus - großes Vergnügen In dem kleinen Haus aus Ortsausgang wohnt man komfortabel, sauber und thront direkt über der Hauptstraße. Diese wird allerdings nur gelegentlich von den Dorfbewohnern benutzt, um in der Nähe gelegenen Quelle frisches Wasser zu holen. In dieser Gegend lässt sich hervorragend aktiv Urlaub machen. Wandern, Kajak fahren, Rafting, Fliegenfischen, etc. kann man direkt in der Nähe machen, sowie Ausflüge nach Bled oder zur Tolminer Klamm unternehmen. Sehr beeindruckend ist auch die freundliche und aufgeschlossener Art der Slowenier aber am meisten Freude hat uns das Baden in den zahlreichen und unglaublich klaren Flüssen der Umgebung bereitet. ##### Anja M. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2017 Archival ### 8/10 Good #### Klaus-Otto N. Aug 22, 2016 #### Gut als Basis für Unternehmungen, nicht als ständiges Domizil für einen längeren Aufenthalt Dieses Haus liegt in einem kleinen Dorf mit viel Ruhe, freundlichen Bewohnern und angenehmer Dorfgemeinschaft. Es ist relativ alt und hat dicke Mauern mit ihren Vor- und Nachteilen - kühl bei heißem Wetter, aber auch manchmal klamm. Das Haus bot im Wesentlichen das, was bei der Ausstattung aufgelistet wurde, wenn auch einige Dinge noch besser in Ordnung gebracht werden sollten. Allerdings erweckte die Liste der Freizeitmöglichkeiten, Attraktionen, Services und Geschäfte bei uns den Eindruck, all dies sei in unmittelbarer Nähe schnell zu erreichen. Es wäre besser, es stände schon dabei, wo entsprechende Stätten, Geschäfte usw. zu finden sind, denn wegen der kleinen Straßen benötigt man oft erheblich Zeit. Insgesamt war es für uns aber ein recht passender Stützpunkt für unsere Ausflüge und Wanderungen. ##### Klaus-Otto N. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2016 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wayne W. Jan 27, 2015 #### Well worth the stay, lovely house in great spot. Very well kept property, we were greeted by the local Slovene neighbour who spoke excellent English, gave us the key and showed us around and made sure we understood how everything worked. We had a wonderfully relaxing stay in the house and were not woken up at all at night time despite the house being in the centre of the village, as there is very little passing traffic. We would not hesitate to recommend Hisa nad Baco to anyone wanting a nicely appointed base in which to explore the area. ##### Wayne W. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent Apr 8, 2012 #### "Mooie rustige plek in ee... "Mooie rustige plek in een klein dorpje. Je pikt hier echt wat mee van de Sloveense cultuur. De mensen in het dorp zijn wat gesloten naar toeristen, maar wel aardig. De Slovenen zijn een erg behulpzaam en vriendelijk volk. Er is veel te doen in de omgeving, je kunt er erg mooi wandelen, mountainbiken (wel gevaarlijke paden, dus niet echt voor beginners). Paragliden is hier ook erg mooi en leuk om te doen en niet duur, evenals verschillende watersporten. Een auto is wel nodig, door de geïsoleerde ligging. Afstanden tot de grotere bezienswaardigheden vallen wel tegen door vele slingerwegen en hoogteverschillen. In de buurt zijn veel watervallen en kloven die je kunt bekijken. Jammer dat er geen tuin bij het huis was, maar er is wel een balkon. De parkeerplaats voor het huis is ook niet zo''n handige plek, want ligt wat in de rijrichting. We hebben hier wat gedoe om gehad met een bewoner van het dorp. Maar iets verder weg bij de afvalbakken is wel een goede plek. Het huis is erg nestjes en oogt modern. Vaatwasser, oven e.d. zit er allemaal in. Er is genoeg ruimte voor een gezin, maar ook voor twee personen is het een mooi huis. Tijdens ons verblijf zijn we heel goed ontvangen door een Engelse dame, ondanks dat we heel laat aankwamen in de avond. We konden met eventuele vragen en problemen ook altijd terecht bij haar en ze reageerde snel. Super mooie, leuke en relaxte vakantie!" ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hotel Neptun – Lifeclass Hotels & Spa, Portorož](https://www.expedia.ca/Piran-Hotels-Act-ION-Hotel-Neptun-LifeClass-Hotels-Spa.h2527248.Hotel-Information) > - [Comfort Inn Trenton](https://www.expedia.ca/Belleville-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Trenton.h15844.Hotel-Information) > - [Radisson Chandigarh Zirakpur](https://www.expedia.ca/Chandigarh-Hotels-Radisson-Chandigarh-Zirakpur.h24942639.Hotel-Information) > - [Casino & Hotel ADMIRAL Skofije](https://www.expedia.ca/Koper-Hotels-Casino-Hotel-ADMIRAL-Carnevale-Skofije.h3634324.Hotel-Information) > - [Premier Inn Dubai Barsha Heights](https://www.expedia.ca/Dubai-Hotels-Premier-Inn-Dubai-Barsha-Heights.h71629308.Hotel-Information) > - [Revelation Valley Carriage House near Jasper National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Robson-Hotels-Revelation-Valley-Carriage-House-Near-Jasper-National-Park.h18977668.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Rozka](https://www.expedia.ca/Ambroz-Pod-Krvavcem-Hotels-Hotel-Rozka.h28753149.Hotel-Information) > - [Saksida Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Zalosce-Hotels-Saksida-Resort.h44493495.Hotel-Information) > - [Homewood Suites by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-South-Bay-Inn-And-Suites.h23491112.Hotel-Information) > - [Slovenia Eco Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Ljubljana-Hotels-Slovenia-Eco-Resort.h17952993.Hotel-Information) > - [Motels Luzerne County](https://www.expedia.ca/Luzerne-County-Motels.d553248635976432321-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Everline Resort and Spa, Lake Tahoe](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Resort-At-Squaw-Creek.h13668.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury Glamping Chocolate Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Maribor-Hotels-Luxury-Glamping-Chocolate-Village.h37589659.Hotel-Information) > - [Apartments and wellness center Korošec](https://www.expedia.ca/Mozirje-Hotels-Apartments-And-Wellness-Center-Korosec.h36637295.Hotel-Information) > - [Srčna, a beautiful peaceful log cabin on Tri vile estate with amazing view](https://www.expedia.ca/Podcetrtek-Hotels-Vrbo-Property.h46941605.Hotel-Information) > - [Monverde - Wine Experience Hotel by Unlock Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Amarante-Hotels-Monverde-Wine-Experience-Hotel-Member-Of-Unlock-Hotels.h11530830.Hotel-Information) > - [Ooike Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Ooike-Hotel.h5620879.Hotel-Information) > - [Mokrice Castle Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Brezice-Hotels-Mokrice-Castle-Estate.h78368334.Hotel-Information) > - [Hiša Pr'pristavc](https://www.expedia.ca/Bohinj-Hotels-Hisa-Prpristavc.h29858151.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Julian Alps](https://www.expedia.ca/Gorje-Hotels-Hotel-Julian-Alps.h108390064.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Hollister (BKG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/bkg/winnipeg-to-branson) > - [Flights from Fort McMurray (YMM) to Slave Lake (YZH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ymm/yzh/fort-mcmurray-to-slave-lake) > - [Flights from Incheon (ICN) to Qingdao (TAO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/icn/tao/seoul-to-qingdao) > - [Flights from Tremblay-en-France (CDG) to Nice (NCE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cdg/nce/paris-to-nice) > - [Flights from Sepang (KUL) to Sa Khu (HKT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/kul/hkt/kuala-lumpur-to-phuket) ### Packages > - [Tulum Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Tulum.d182189.Destination-Travel-Guides)
