Detailed Reviews
We really enjoyed staying in the Herbal House. Vesna and her family are very friendly and they make you feel just like at home. We loved everything herbal - pillows, potpourri, tea and especially the gift - handmade soap. The village Plave, where Herbal house is located, is also a great starting point for trips to Soca Valley, Goriska Brda and Vipava valley wine regions (ask Vesna, she will tell you all the details). As photographers we really appreciated that there was no problem waking the family up really early in the morning as we left to take landscape photos. Vesna packed us breakfast with fresh coffee that we really needed :)

We had an amazing stay at Herbal rooms with a very nice welcome from Karmen and Yvan! Vesna guided us a whole day and showed us the most beautiful places in Soca valley, we ate a local dish Frika and drunk Orange wine.
Vesna is an experienced guide and really recommended! A day we will never forget!

Having sent an absurdly last-minute request to Vesna, I couldn't believe how quickly, wonderfully and cheerfully she accommodated me. If you're looking for the freshest, most delicious Slovenian food paired with the warmest and most engaging of local hosts, Slocally is the way to go.

Vesna and her parents, Ivan and Karmen, are the most welcoming, friendly and lovely hosts you'll ever meet. They make you feel right at home and will teach you so much about Slovenia it's history and culture.
From learning about the wild herbs and how to forage and cook with them, to exploring the beautiful countryside of Soca Valley on a hike with Vesna, eating delicious home cooked foods and learning to completely relax for a few days, a stay at the Herbal Rooms is everything you need and more.
Without Vesna's tips we never would have gone on to discover the car train at Most na Soci or Lake Bohinj.
If you're in Slovenia you HAVE to visit!
Hvala, Vesna!

I enjoyed Herbal House for an extended stay ( one summer month) because of all the options open to me: I could relax comfortably alongside the lush garden and read, I could catch a local train and visit lakes Bled and Bohinj, I could take easy or moderately difficult hikes into dense forests and feel one with the sounds of nature and I could savor delicious cuisine at the near by regional eateries.
Most of all, I relished Ivan and Karmens warm hospitality and to sleep on a herbal mattress and pillow. I truly appreciated the deep and lovely sleeps after a day spent exploring. I woke up refreshed and ready to explore some more. I do prefer to be in a no-wifi zone as that truly was relaxing and allowed great sleeps. Congratulations to them for providing this feature along with accessible interenet access.
i recommnd erbal House for single travellers and t it would be ideal for families.
Herbal House was an excellent base for me to enjoy restful nights and to explore the stunning beauty of the surrounding areas,

Herbal house was one of our overnight stays during a cycling holiday in Slovenia. It was definitely one of our highlights! We were welcomed with herbal tea and a traditional cake. The room was spacious and the herbal pillow added a lovely touch. The family was incredibly welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them. We also did a private tour with Vesna which I highly recommend. The restaurant in Plave serves lovely food at reasonable prices. Definitely worth a try.

Our stay at Herbal rooms (3 nights) happened nicely. When we arrived, we had been welcomed by Ivan with tea and cake. Hosts were kind, welcoming and discrete.
The rooms are upstairs and separated from the hosts, which allow you to feel "like home". Property and freshness are PERFECT.
We had the opportunity to do a tour with Vesna (Slocally) and we highly recommend it. Perfect to know more about traditions and the area. Vesna knows very well the area and you learn a lot thanks to her.

I had a great time staying with Vesna and her family - they are so warm and welcoming. There was lots to explore in the local area, very varied different landscapes to see and Vesna was a fantastic guide - I would highly recommend going walking in the Brda wine region and also exploring the natural wonders of the Soca region. Both were great days out! Good food, swimming and beautiful nature.
