"You’re not going to just happen across the 12th-century Slovene village of Spodnja Idrija, but it’s worth going out of your way when you know a hotel like Kendov Dvorec awaits at the end of the road. In its early days — records go back to 1377 — it was a country manor, and though the village has filled in around it, it still feels splendidly secluded, surrounded by gardens, lawns, and apple trees. Today it’s a classic small luxury hotel, with an old-world atmosphere that feels untouched by the passage of centuries, and an elegant restaurant that specializes in Idrija’s local culinary traditions, including trout from the Trebušica river." - Tablet Hotels
