Bloomin loved it

Great house, very comfy beds. Lots of room for our family of 5. We loved the billiard table. Beautiful surroundings. Location five star for us, for walking, swimming, relaxing. No facilities in village which suited us. Great hosts

pleasant stay

we had a pleasant stay. It is a nice house with space. only I missed a nice outdoor sitting place. Be aware to drive about 20 min from the main road to this place. A top bathing spot at the banks of the Idrija on the bottom of the hill.

The house itself is large and spacious and perfect for larger gatherings. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking. The kids really enjoyed the park being next-door.The village itself is quiet and about 20 minutes from town up a steep and winding mountain road. Be sure to buy supplies before you reach the property. Although there is a dishwasher and laundry facilities, you will need to bring your own hand soap, dish and laundry detergent, paper towels, and other basics your group may need, as these are not provided. Also make sure to bring sufficient cash to pay the tourist tax, which will be collected upon check-in.It was unusually hot during our stay, and there were only three fans for five bedrooms. There is also a musty smell and areas of the walls that are wet and bubbling paint. Several of us experienced allergy-like symptoms while in the house. Overall few issues with the property, however. The major issue was with the owner. One of our small children had an accident in the bed the last night, and we checked out without knowing. The owner was understandably upset - we were mortified and apologized profusely. We felt terrible and would never have left that intentionally. It was an unpleasant and unfortunate incident, but he was rude and nasty towards us. It ended the stay on a sour note when it could have been amicable.

Großzügiges Herrenhaus auf dem Land

Sehr viel Platz und gut ausgestattete Küche, tolle Umgebung mitten in den Bergen. Allerdings ist die Zufahrt nach Ponkive etwas abenteuerlich und der nächste Supermarkt 20 Minuten Autofahrt entfernt. Uns hat das nicht gestört, wir haben uns über den Spiel- und Fußballplatz direkt neben der Unterkunft gefreut. Schade, dass das Wohnzimmer etwas muffig roch, mit dem Billiardzimmer, der großen Küche und der Terasse hatte man aber genug Ausweichmöglichkeiten. Insgesamt mit den großen Zimmern und den 3 Bädern perfekt für eine größere Gruppe geeignet.

Dorfidylle in Slowemien

Das Objekt bietet fantastisch viel Platz für eine Reise in einer größeren Gruppe, ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man im Urlaub benötigt und war sauber und ordentlich. Was fehlt, ist ein gemütlicher Platz zum sitzen im Freien. Der vorhandene Grillplatz ist weder schön noch gemütlich. Etwas problematisch ist die Lage des Objekts. Das Dorf Ponikve ist klein und idyllisch und sicher nicht touristisch überlaufen. Allerdings sind jedes Mal ca. 500 Höhenmeter auf schmalen engen Straßen zu überwinden um überhaupt Anschluss an das überregionale Straßennetz und an Versorgungseinrichtungen zu bekommen. Das tut dem Objekt an sich keinen Abbruch, man sollte es jedoch bei der Buchung beachten.
