A stay full of emotions and relaxation in the heart of Goriška Brda
Pros: The apartment was spacious, nicely furnished, and well cared for, with very good overall cleanliness. The location in the Slovenian Collio (Goriška Brda) is truly charming: it is set in the picturesque village of Šmartno, right above a winery, which makes it probably the best option in the area. The staff, a group of young people, was very friendly and always ready to meet guests’ requests. A very pleasant stay and definitely recommended.
Cons: •\tThe bathroom was spacious, but it did not have a bidet, which would have made the experience even more comfortable. \t•\tThe balcony was nice but rather small. \t•\tThe sofa in the living room was a bit small and uncomfortable. \t•\tThe towels provided were not enough: having a few more would have been better.

A little slice of paradise in the heart of Brda
Pros: If you’re looking for a place where modern design and distinctive architecture meet jaw-dropping views, look no further. This gem of an apartment is perched in a charming village in the heart of the Brda wine region, and trust me – waking up to a view that stretches from the Alps to the Adriatic is something you won’t forget anytime soon! The interior is stylish and fresh, and so tastefully done that you might start redecorating your own home. The bed is comfy, the vibe is peaceful and the breakfast is tasty. They really go the extra mile for people with gluten-free diet. David is an excellent host. The entire stuff is warm, welcoming, and ready with local tips or a glass of amazing wine (or both!). Speaking of wine – the in-house wine bar is dangerously good. You may enter as a curious visitor and leave as a devoted Brda wine fan. This place is a rare find – the perfect mix of nature, comfort, and a touch of luxury. Already planning our next visit!

Good spot in the fairytale medieval town!
Pros: It is a nice and spacious apartment above the winery. It’s in the medieval town Smartno, you emediately walk on the cute market when you leave the apartment. The view from the balcony is stunning. The kitchen has everything needed and the breakfast with the cured ham and cheese was good. The coffeemachine contained good coffecups. But there was also an Italian coffeemaker for the coffee lovers. The bathroom is very spacious with a very good hairdryer. The bed slept very good. Also dog friendly.
Cons: The showe overflowed. No hooks for hanging clothing. The couch was pretty low.

Brilliantly spacious apartment in a historic old town
Pros: Brilliant clean and comfortable apartment, very easy to access with parking a few steps away. We stayed one night after exploring the local wineries. Wine bar downstairs and restaurant next door in the beautiful town of smartno made for a very easy and lovely sleepover. Amazing views in the morning an added bonus.
Cons: Just to note it is above a wine bar but no issue as it shuts fairly early (c.9pm) but one to note if you want total privacy.

Welcome to Collio (Brda): leave your driving licence at home
Pros: David was a wonderful host, we got the top floor apartment which is newly refurbished. Kitchen is fully equipped with self made breakfast. The winery is just downstairs so you don’t have to walk so much with an excellent selection of local wines. David was instrumental in suggesting the perfect bottles for our aperitivos. There was one restaurant which was fully booked and David very kindly arranged for us an exquisite charcuterie and cheese plate for our drinky dinner! Profoundly suggested if you want an immersive drinking experience.
Cons: Maybe a couple more towels and a hair drier since we all have long hair, but the rest was really ok!
