LAKE BLED & SOUTHERN AUSTRIA

Friday 09 May 2025 - 8-days
ANOTHER EXCLUSIVE SOLENT EVENTS TOUR! WE'RE OFF TO THE LAKES & MOUNTAINS OF SLOVENIA & AUSTRIA, FOR THE PERFECT SPRING HOLIDAY!

ONLY 2-TWIN/DOUBLES LEFT!

WE WILL BE VISITING TWO OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COUNTRIES IN EUROPE – THE LAKES & MOUNTAINS OF SLOVENIA & AUSTRIA!

Slovenia embraces you with lush greenery where the Pannonian, Alpine and Mediterranean worlds converge, weaving together a tapestry of natural, cultural and culinary diversity. If you have never visited this part of Europe, now is your chance to experience a completely hassle and stress-free holiday in great company! Please join us to discover a world of unique  experiences, exceptionally friendly people and spectacular scenery alongside and surrounding our base at LAKE BLED. Bled is a jewel of Alpine serenity, taking you away from the stress and strain of normal life!

We will visit iconic caves, glistening lakes, historic castles and friendly Austrian villages. Along with the local cuisine, we’ll also taste the wines and the cheeses of the region.  We’ll stroll through vibrant streets which seamlessly blend with countless picturesque countryside paths. Slovenia is a place where a rich cultural tradition harmonizes with the contemporary. Slovenia is also a land of inspiration, where unforgettable memories are made. No wonder it’s been ranked in Lonely Planet’s ‘Ultimate Travel List’ of the top-10 must-see global destinations!

Our 4* Park Hotel is situated in a prime location, right next to Lake Bled and the Bled promenade. Hotel Park is a popular choice for those who want to feel both the energy of the lake and the pulse of the town. ‘Water’ and ‘Forest’ are the two natural features that serve
as the main guiding principle of Hotel Park, enchanting guests with views of the lake from the bedrooms, restaurant, fitness centre and covered, thermal pool and panoramic views from the saunas  on the top floor.
Hotel Park is also home to the one and only Original Bled Cream Cake, which be a ‘must-try’ during our visit, PLUS ….. two fountains await you at the Park Hotel – a Water Fountain with Alpine drinking water in the lobby (where you can buy a bottle at the reception desk and fill it whenever you wish) AND a Wine Fountain  in the hotel restaurant! The Wine Fountain features carefully selected wines from various wine-growing regions of Slovenia – I think you’ll have to pay for the wine though!

Our rooms, the Blue Rooms, are dedicated to water, the symbol of life and purity, overlook the lake. The Green Rooms overlook the park and are clad in spruce wood, reflecting the natural beauty of the forest. Each room is fitted with air conditioning, a seating area, flat-screen TV with cable channels, a safety deposit box,  private bath/shower room with hairdryer and slippers. All our rooms have a ‘sea view’ with balcony. (If you prefer to save yourself £90pp by opting for a ‘standard room without a seaview, please let us know!).
The hotel also offers: A Spa & Thai Centre; Aperativ Bar; Cafe Park & Sladoglednica Ice Cream Boutique.

During our fantastic 8-day tour, we will also venture across the Karawankan Mountains and Kranska Gora to the beautiful lakes, mountains and villages of Southern Austria (Karnten area) for the day. We will also visit Bohinj, Skofja Loka, Postojna Cave, Predjama Castle and Ljubliana. You will also have plenty of time to relax and explore Bled at leisure. 

We make things even more comfortable for you by having just FOUR pickups – Stokes Bay,  Gosport; Lee on the Solent; Stubbington & Peak Lane, Fareham.
