The hotel is located in idyllic surroundings and is modern and clean. The staff is more than friendly and usually speaks very good English in addition to Slovenian. The entrance examination was arranged so that a very good German speaking nurse was present. All treatments and exercises were excellent. The additional offer of leisure activities can be integrated well into the daily routine and one learns a lot about the surroundings, for example, during Nordic Walking and gets one or the other insider tip. You should try out the panorama sauna, which can currently only be booked individually. But then you have the approx. 80 sqm area all to yourself. At mealtimes, thanks to the huge selection, you'll always find something that tastes good. All in all, a wonderful vacation to relax at an unbeatable price.
