We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful, cozy home/apartment in a peaceful, scenic setting and highly recommend! Apartment and common areas are spotlessly clean. The house is just gorgeous with lovely exposed woodwork and original artwork throughout. Good lighting, as well as lots of natural light. The apartment is larger than it appears in the pictures and quite comfortable. There is a sauna room on the first floor of the house...it looked lovely, although we did not use it.
The apartment we stayed in is one of two on the second floor of the guest house (at the top of the stairs to the right, with a blue decor). It has a cozy open living space with kitchen, dining and living room. Sofa and chairs were comfortable. We enjoyed standing on the cowhide rug in bare feet...it was so soft and luxurious feeling. The fully equipped kitchen has modern appliances (dishwasher, stove, under-counter fridge, microwave, toaster, sink), really nice tableware and stemware, and a good sized dining table with nice tablecloth. Bedroom is warm and inviting, and has a very comfortable queen size bed with nice linens, a desk, and a large wardrobe for storage. The bathroom is attractive -- shower, sink, mirror, bidet, long bench, window, and plenty of room for your toiletries, etc. Plenty of hot water and good pressure. We enjoyed spending time on the balcony and just taking in the beautiful view. Although there is no A/C, we didn't really need it and on warm days you can open all the windows for a cooling cross-breeze throughout the apartment. The apartment does not have a washing machine; however, our host Katarina offered to do laundry anytime we needed it. She also offers a FANTASTIC farm breakfast with some combination of farm fresh milk, eggs, cured meats, cheese, cottage cheese, veggies, juice and mineral water, fresh herb tea, jams,honey, bread and strudel.
Katarina is such an amazing host. She took really good care of us in so many ways, certainly "above and beyond" is an understatement. We really appreciated her help with some family business we were attending to in the area -- she assisted us in finding and contacting appropriate municipal offices, translating when needed, and explaining some underlying cultural dynamics that needed an historical perspective. She's just such a warm, kind and caring person. We love her.
Lasko is a great little town. We enjoyed the Elvis Pekarna (bakery) for breads and pastries, yummy pizza at Gostilna Bezgovšek, the pools and spa at Rimske Toplice (adult environment), a romantic multi-course dinner at Pavus at the Grad Tabor, and wandering around town and visiting the shops and visitor center. And of course, Lasko pivo! We bought groceries at the Tus market -- one store is just down the hill into town, while a larger store is about 4 km from the house. There is also a small pharmacy in town, other restaurants/cafes, banks and ATMs, and several clothing stores. Enjoy!
Overall, we had a really wonderful stay here. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!
