Nestled in the Littoral region of Slovenia, close to (20 minutes), from the border with Italy - the Fruili region. The location is ideal for summer and winter activities. The house is located within 2/3 minutes walk to a supermarket, and 100m from pub and fabulous pizza restaurant, and just 1.2km, within 15 mins walk to the Soca Valley crystal clear, turquoise river, where you can picnic, sunbathe, and enjoy the many water sports on offer.

The house is central for the main Soca Valley town of Tolmin, which is less than 3km, where you will find amenities typical of a large town, restaurants and shops. The bus stop is almost opposite the house, and runs hourly into the town. The water activities, run by the Maya Sports company - http://www.maya.si/EN/sports-tourism is just 1.2km, where you will also find a little seasonal restaurant here (Labcra) as well as picnic area beside the river.
