The breakfast was perfect, comfortable bed, great bathroom... monastery olimlje nearby. Suitable for hiking...car can be parked at the hotel. There is a tower to see souroundings about hour and a half walk from hotel ...all together roundtrip three to four hours..worth to see. Castle in Podcetrtek is in renovation but worth to see...quiet place..nice

My second floor room was overlooking part of the heavily soaked golf course, which is surrounded by many mature trees. I arrived here late afternoon after biking through quite a mountain downpour - I was wet, cold, and a bit tired. The reception was super quick – they knew I just had to get to my room to warm up and dry up – I was near hypothermic and needed to remedy that rapidly. No elevator – just a small detail that may mean something to people of lesser capabilities. Thankfully there's only two floors. The hallway lighting on the second floor didn’t always turn-on quickly. It is motion sensitive but at times I found I had to wave my arms around to get it to, eventually, turn on. In the morning, dew was super thick from the previous day’s rain. Men were playing soccer in the wet grass. They also have a thing called footgolf (kick ball around golf course). I had never heard of such a ‘sport’. There was a heated towel rack in the bathroom, unfortunately it wasn’t working. I could’ve definitely use it to dry my biking clothes. All the furniture is made of ecologically-friendly materials from wood to fabrics. The curtains, cushions, and bedding all match and are of very soothing colors. They look hand-woven. The Amon Estate has an organic orchard. Among them are native apples, plums, peaches, quinces, pears, mulberries, and cherries. They also grow strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries, and currants. In the garden, a large selection of organic vegetables and herbs will eventually find their place on their restaurant menu. A lot of their delicious jams are served at breakfast. Very yummy. The family-owned Amon Estate is the oldest privately owned winegrowing and winemaking company in Slovenia’s Šmarje-Virštanj winegrowing subregion. There is a long history of growing grapes here. Also a small souvenir shop is on location between the hotel and the restaurant. The place was quiet, clean, simply furnished and equipped. The breakfast was included and not only delicious and filling, but also the most authentic to what the locals, rather than the tourists eat.

Really comfortable, clean room with great surroundings and a delicious breakfast. We only missed some good classy espresso at breakfast (even though there was Turkish coffee) and the electric charging station.
