Bled, Slovenia   Garden Village Bled is a very unique and very environmentally friendly place to stay. It is an eco-tourism resort that falls somewhere in between hotels and camping, with large glamping tents and wooden tree houses at its core. The resort opened in summer 2014 and is located a mere 5 minute walk to Lake Bled. There are four different types of accommodation options in the resort: glamping tents, tree houses, pier tents and apartments. Each glamping tent has two bedrooms (one on the main floor, one loft), dining table, fridge, bathroom, couch, private hot tub and backyard. Each tree house consists of two bedrooms (one on the main floor, one loft), dining table, fridge, bathroom, couch, private hot tub and hammock. The pier tents have one queen bed and private outdoor space overlooking the stream. The apartments have two bedrooms (one on the main floor, one loft), dining table, kitchenette, bathroom and jacuzzi in main room. The prices are €80 a night and up, depending on date of stay and accommodation choice. Perhaps the most impressive part of the resort is how much effort has been put in to make it environmentally friendly. Wherever you look there are beautiful vegetable gardens (which you can be sure will be included in your dinner later), recycling areas, natural building materials and even grass on the tables. The dining is an experience in itself. Featuring a well-priced menu, you can enjoy local specialties such as calf carpaccio and Piran sea bass, or order a multi-course chef’s tasting menu. The atmosphere in the resort is fantastic and there are many activities that can be enjoyed in the resort, including access to a therapeutic Finnish sauna, ping-pong, darts, board games, swimming and a playground. Don’t miss the tasting corner at the resort’s Green Shop, where you can try local products such as wild jam, Kostel brandy, honey and Slovenian whiskey for free. Car and bike rentals are also available. The free WiFi works well and fast in and around the pool and restaurant area but is quite poor and slow in the tree houses and tents. All in all, the Garden Village resort is a delightful escape from the real world and a fantastic hybrid of luxury and nature. The place feels more like something out of Robinson Crusoe than a hotel, but is a truly unforgettable, relaxing place that you will likely never want to leave. It's great for couples and families - young and school age children will think of this as a dream come true.

In the centre of the camp, there is a communal kitchen with all the cutlery and pans if you want to cook but you can also get breakfast and dinner in the camp. The breakfast is great and varied with fresh local bread and croissants, cereals, jams, and hot water for tea or instant coffee. The evening meals are substantial and filling. There is also a great playground and loads of activities for the kids. The family and staff who run the site are always incredibly helpful and create a really friendly and easy going atmosphere. They go out of their way to make sure you have an amazing time. Surrounded by beautiful mountains, the campsite is only 100 meter walk to the river, hiking trails and a great point to begin rafting, kayaking or canyoning. There's a chance to organise all sorts of adrenaline activities thought the camp as well. The free WIFI is not the fastest we have seen but good enough to simple browsing the net. All in all, this is definitely the go-to place if you want to experience a nice outdoor atmosphere in Slovenia!
