River View Suite Mlinar private beach - Metlika

Slow down and savour the tranquil pace of the Slovenian countryside at this holiday retreat for two.

Idyllically located, right on the banks of the beautiful Kolpa River this recently renovated studio is situated in the grounds of an Eco Tourist Farm and offers a peaceful escape that is completely surrounded by nature. The farm is home to a three-hundred-year-old mill, a private beach and has a certificate for organic farming. Guests can buy various produce from the host including eggs, lamb, duck, turkey and chicken and even experience a night sleeping in the hay barn.

The compact property is arranged within one open-plan living space, furnished with a double bed, a smart digital flat-screen HD TV and a breakfast bar for two. The space also incorporates a small kitchen fitted with an induction hob, a coffee machine, an oven and a fridge freezer.

This property is the ideal choice for guests looking for new experiences away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
