About this house rental

The Alpine Retreat is an easy 2km walk to the shores of Lake Bled. Offering spacious accommodation in a centuries-old, traditional farm house, that simply oozes character. With balcony, sunny south terrace and a shaded north-facing garden there are mountain views all round.

With free parking and wifi, this house suits families or small groups (max 6) seeking the peace and tranquillity of rural village life, with forest, hillside and riverside walks (Vintgar Gorge) from the doorstep.


The owners will not be at the house during guest stays.

The Alpine Retreat is sited in a well serviced village, with shop and restaurant / bar. Located beside the church at the heart of the active dairy farming village of Zasip, you will feel at the centre of village comings and goings.

Sat on a ridge with commanding southerly views, and Bled Castle in clear view, you are just a few kilometres from Lake Bled, with all its tourist facilities, yet being in Zasip, on the doorstep of some wonderful countryside, you feel more in touch with the local way of life.

There are some amazing walks nearby, including a circuit to Vintgar Gorge, which is within easy striding distance of the doorstep.

With the exception of the basement boiler room and secure store rooms, guests will have access to the whole house.

The Alpine Retreat is both our second home and a professionally managed holiday rental apartment. For you this means that you can expect to find everything you need for a comfortable stay with the reassurance that help is close at hand should the need arise.

Although there are bus and train services from the village the use of a car, to explore the area's wonders, is recommended.

This house is in a quiet village setting and is therefore not suitable for noisy groups. It is best for families or respectful adults who enjoy forest and hillside walls from the doorstep, wild swimming in the nearby lakes, or simply relaxing in the garden and taking in the magnificent mountain backdrop. Zasip is a active dairy farming village, some guest may not be used to country aromas.

The house was in a fantastic location and had everything we needed. The only downside we felt was that the outside space was separated from the main living space. The balcony was only accessible from the ground floor (1st floor) bathroom, and the outside space was only accessible from the basement when the main living space was on the ground floor (1st floor). The outside space was also limited in size. Other than that, we had a fabulous two weeks staying here.

We so enjoyed our time staying here. The house is so lovely and spacious and in a wonderful rural location with amazing views! We loved the welcome gifts and supplies of basic things. Our teenage boys had a great time using the pool table and there were so many games and dvds on offer! It really felt like a home. Some reviewers have commented about farm smells but it is a farmhouse within a farming community so this is completely understandable. You will also hear the church bells from the beautiful church next door but neither of these things would put us off returning. It is a perfect base for exploring Slovenia with a car and you can walk into Bled in about 30 mins. Stuart was a great host, providing lots of information and promptly answered any questions we had. We hope to return in the future!

The property was located directly across the street from the barn, which was, unfortunately experiencing VERY strong odor.(liquid manure?) I grew up on a dairy farm and this was something out of the ordinary.

We stayed a few days in Stuarts house. It is located in Zasip, which is very close to Bled. Before we arrived Stuart gave us a lot of information about the area und the house, which was perfect. When we arrived the house smelt a little, but after opening the windows it was ok. The bathroom on the ground floor was a little older, but the one on the first floor was new and modern. The bedrooms were ok. We didn't have any problems with the cows next door or the church bell. But unfortunately we did have a problem with a mouse, which we found in the kitchen on the fridge between our groceries. For us this was a no-go!

The quiet offered by this property and the peacefulness of the neighbors was welcomed. We appreciated looking at the castle on the hill at night and were even treated to snow-capped mountains one morning.
