The aquapark is also open to the public.

Family-friendly to the point of featuring full-time babysitters and a mini cinema, Hotel Sanje has positioned itself well as a bright, modern, and fully equipped nature lodge for groups or individuals seeking group interaction.

Considered one of the best mountain lodges in Slovenia and situated near the famed Kranjska Gora World Cup giant slalom slopes, this a truly relaxing place to stay.

At the center of Piran’s Old Town, Vila Piranesi occupies a few floors of a renovated high school and offers well-priced modern apartments with fully functional kitchenettes.
