Dinner, if you order it ahead

For guests who let us know, we cook dishes typical of Goriška Brda, the way our grandmothers made them. Tell us in your enquiry how many evenings you would like to eat with us.

“Enjoyed a nice dinner - four courses with wine from their vineyard. Breakfast also very nice - eggs, breads with homemade jams, yogurt, fresh juice.”

Two bottles of Lucija sparkling wine, white and rosé, with two full glasses

Lucija sparkling wine, chardonnay and merlot

We make our sparkling wine by the classic method from selected grapes. With dinner we also pour chardonnay and merlot from our stone cellar. We no longer hold tastings or cellar tours.

“I must insist that you order dinner and try their wine. Everything was delicious. My only regret is that I haven't bought chardonnay to bring home.”

“This was our favourite stay during 10-day trip around Slovenia. Ester & Štefan are very friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.”

Wojciech, United Kingdom · October 2025

“At night it is so truly dark that you can enjoy a beautiful clear starry sky from your balcony.”

Anja, Netherlands · September 2026 (translated from Dutch)

“Exceptional welcome and service, super friendly, fantastic food, wine and beer. Secure parking for motorcycles and bicycles (garage) with plenty of on site parking for cars.”

Neil, Belgium · June 2026

“Surroundings are amazing, it could be great to stay there more nights and just read a book on the terrace or go for a long walk, next time! We got great tips for sightseeing as well.”

Rasa, Norway · September 2025

“Not a typical modern-era hotel, but very enjoyable. We had dinner and breakfast on property and found them both to be delicious!”

Daniel, United States · October 2025

“The couple were very accommodating and offered us a meal that suited our diet. We tasted homemade products such as the sparkling rosé, the olive oil and the pear juice.”

Where we are

The first farm as you enter Goriška Brda

We are the first tourist farm as you come into Goriška Brda and the last one as you leave. Nova Gorica is ten minutes away, Gorizia on the Italian side fourteen.

The house is at the end of a 600-metre lane off the road through Podsabotin, so you need a car: restaurants, shops and the train are a drive away.

“The location was only 10 minutes from Šmartno medieval village but it felt very rural.”
