A traditional farmhouse vibe! Modern living with a rustic twist. For lovers of the great outdoors!

PERFECT for family groups or two to three couples seeking the peace and tranquillity of village life, with forest, hillside and riverside walks from the doorstep.

RELAX in a centuries-old, traditional farm house, that oozes character. With the added benefit of having the top facilities of Slovenia’s premier tourist destinations within easy reach!



The owners will not be at the house during guest stays.

The Alpine Retreat is sited in a well serviced village, with shop and restaurant / bar. Located beside the church at the heart of the old farming village of Zasip, you will feel at the centre of village comings and goings.

Sat on a ridge with commanding southerly views, and Bled Castle in clear view, you are just a few kilometres from Lake Bled, with all its tourist facilities, yet being in Zasip, on the doorstep of some wonderful countryside, you feel more in touch with the local way of life.

There are some amazing walks nearby, including a circuit to Vintgar Gorge, which is within easy striding distance of the doorstep.

With the exception of the basement boiler room and secure store rooms, guests will have access to the whole house.

The Alpine Retreat is both our second home and a professionally managed holiday rental apartment. For you this means that you can expect to find everything you need for a comfortable stay with the reassurance that help is close at hand should the need arise.

Although there are bus and train services from the village the use of a car, to explore the area's wonders, is recommended.

This house is in a quiet village setting and is therefore not suitable for noisy groups. It is best for families or respectful adults who enjoy forest and hillside walls from the doorstep, wild swimming in the nearby lakes, or simply relaxing in the garden and taking in the magnificent mountain backdrop.

The property was located directly across the street from the barn, which was, unfortunately experiencing VERY strong odor.(liquid manure?) I grew up on a dairy farm and this was something out of the ordinary.

Nice house with a mouse
We stayed a few days in Stuarts house. It is located in Zasip, which is very close to Bled. Before we arrived Stuart gave us a lot of information about the area und the house, which was perfect. When we arrived the house smelt a little, but after opening the windows it was ok. The bathroom on the ground floor was a little older, but the one on the first floor was new and modern. The bedrooms were ok. We didn't have any problems with the cows next door or the church bell. But unfortunately we did have a problem with a mouse, which we found in the kitchen on the fridge between our groceries. For us this was a no-go!

Fabulous place to stay
We so enjoyed our time staying here. The house is so lovely and spacious and in a wonderful rural location with amazing views! We loved the welcome gifts and supplies of basic things. Our teenage boys had a great time using the pool table and there were so many games and dvds on offer! It really felt like a home. Some reviewers have commented about farm smells but it is a farmhouse within a farming community so this is completely understandable. You will also hear the church bells from the beautiful church next door but neither of these things would put us off returning. It is a perfect base for exploring Slovenia with a car and you can walk into Bled in about 30 mins. Stuart was a great host, providing lots of information and promptly answered any questions we had. We hope to return in the future!

Belle découverte de la région de Bled et des alentours
Ferme (ou plutôt grande maisonà côté d'une étable dans le village de Zasip) idéalement placée à côté de Bled (que l'on peut rejoindre à pied) et des environs à découvrir (Lac de Bohinj, Gorges de Vintgar, Socca...) Stuart est trés communicant et sa maison est vraiment trés agréable, spacieuse, trés fonctionnelle, bien équipée. On a passé un super séjour, pour nous la première fois en Slovénie ! C'est une trés belle découverte de ce pays d'Europe ! Je recommande sans hésiter !

Wunderschönes Bauernhaus
Wir haben uns in dem schönen Bauernhaus sehr wohl gefühlt. U.a. die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Die Kinder hatten im Dachgeschoss viel Platz zum Spielen. Die Hängematte und die Terrasse im Garten luden jeden Abend nach den Wanderungen zum Verweilen ein.

Zasip ist ein schön gelegener kleiner Ort. Dort hat man seine Ruhe
Das Ferienhaus war sehr geräumig. Die Einrichtung passte zum Ambiente des alten Bauernhauses. Es wurde versucht, das Alte zu bewahren. Ebenso fehlte es nicht an Dingen, die für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt notwendig sind. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt.

Wie beschrieben und sehr nett
Stuart hat uns im Vorfeld schon tolle Tipps für Wanderungen und Ausflüge geschickt und sich gut gekümmert. Check-In reibungslos, Schlüssel- und Kontaktfrei. Super einfach! Das Haus war sauber und wurde sehr hübsch renoviert und eingerichtet. Aber es ist ein altes Gemäuer und ist daher im ersten Moment etwas kühl und muffig. Das legt sich aber schnell, wenn man die Fensterläden öffnet und Licht und Luft herein lässt. Ausstattung und Interieur sind einwandfrei, gemütlich und mehr als ausreichend. Man findet alles, was man braucht und viel an Infos und Unterhaltung. Ein Stern Abzug für die Lage gibt es nur, weil der Kuhstall nebenan leider etwas duftet. Das stört vielleicht aber auch nur mich... Sonst kann man direkt vom Haus los wandern, radeln und spazieren, ein gutes Restaurant ist ums Eck, Supermarkt leicht erreichbar (5min), Nachbarn alle sehr freundlich, schöne Aussicht, idyllisch gelegen, Bled ist nicht weit weg. ... Kurzum: Alles prima! Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit in Zasip bei Bled. Vielen Dank!

Sehr zu empfehlen
Das Ferienhaus ist geräumig und gut ausgestattet. Die auf der Rückseite des Hauses befindliche Grünfläche gehört größtenteils einem Nachbarn, der aber offenbar nichts dagegen hatte, dass wir uns ab und zu in den Schatten der Bäume gesetzt haben. Zum örtlichen Supermarkt sind es wenige Minuten zu Fuß, noch kürzer ist der Weg zu einem Restaurant, das eine abwechslungsreiche Speisekarte zu bieten hat. Auch nach Bled kann man zu Fuß gehen, wenn man einen halbstündigen Spaziergang nicht scheut. Der Hausbesitzer schickt vor der Anreise eine Menge hilfreicher Informationen, darunter eine Reihe von Tourenvorschlägen für kleine und große Wanderungen, mit denen man die Schönheit der Gegend kennenlernen kann. Er reagiert genau wie die Agentur vor Ort sehr schnell auf Anfragen. Wir haben uns im Vorfeld der Reise und während unseres Aufenthalts gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Zum Schluss eine kleine Warnung für empfindliche Gemüter: Die dörfliche Lage bringt es mit sich, dass man den schräg gegenüber liegenden Milchviehbetrieb ab und zu während des Ausmistens riecht und die Glocken der direkt neben dem Ferienhaus befindlichen Kirche läuten morgens um sieben Uhr in das Schlafzimmer hinein.

Village house
Traditional village house, simply decorated, comfortably furnished and extremely well equipped, good shower, comfortable beds and good bedding etc. Lovely views. In peaceful village of Zasip, away from the tourist throngs in Bled. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony, the good village restaurant, and great walks from the door. Stuart was a great host. House information and recommends all very thorough, so all went very smoothly. Highly recommended as a base for a holiday in the area, which has so much to do we felt we barely scratched the surface - so we'd love to come back.

Great family house not far from the touristic village Bled
Really nice and well maintained and clean house, good located, just a few minutes drive from Bled, nostalgic just besides an old church. The kitchen was well equiped, the beds were very good, nice modern bathroom, the Wifi was very good. Next door there was a really nice old woman, who waved us every day "a good day". The balcony was nice but small, the garden was a good place to be outside, but only accessible by walking around the house. The contact with the owner was very good. He gave us a lot of practical information about the area, several walking tours, restaurants etc. We would like to recommand this house to everyone.

Great property in a perfect location.
The property had everything we needed and kept reasonably cool when the outside temperatures were hot. The balcony was especially nice for breakfast with a view of the village and Bled castle in the distance. The location is also perfect if you have a car. Centrally placed for Lakes Bled and Bohinj, not far from the Vrsic Pass and Triglev National Park, and also plenty of great scenery and walking close to the property. Local food also very good.

I spent a few days here visiting friends and have to say it was perfect! The house is so big, there's so much space - it's fantastic. The kitchen was well stocked and the study area with Dvds and books as well as the games selection was a great little touch. Would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic !!
Spacious house in hiking paradise near Bled. We were there with two grown-up sons, who liked that there were so many different rooms in the house where they could go their own way. There is even a library with lots of DVDs. In good weather you can sit on the balcony or in the new garden behind the barn (beautiful view at both places). Stuart has done everything to make the holiday a great success. When one of the showers broke, he immediately arranged a plumber and offered to send a cleaner after the plumber's visit. We have done everything without a car, there is good public transport and we have rented mountain bikes. Bled itself can be a bit crowded in summer. The Vintgar Gorge also, the best time to visit the Vintgar in high season is at about 8.00 AM or after 16.30.

Very charming rustic nostalgic property. The area is like going back in time and very beautiful.
There was a strong smell of dairy cows that are housed just across the road, that pervaded the house. We could never get the hot water to work efficiently upstairs in the shower. The stairs to the bedrooms need negotiation, not for under 3s or over 60s who are not nimble and careful. It is a shame that there is no direct access to the garden, nor furniture, nor barbecue. Apart from those negatives, the beds were comfortable and we all enjoyed good sleeps. We loved the local pub for our dinner, just down the road. It is well priced, serves quite a variety and has cheerful English speaking service. The house is also well equipped with games and books.
