Hiša Raduha

"Every day, Martina Breznik, the fourth generation to run this restaurant, chooses the best produce from her own garden, the nearby forest and from trusted local growers and farmers for her dishes. The result is an immersive introduction to the Luče region, thanks to the early spring vegetables, excellent cheeses and delicious autumn mushrooms that feature on the menu. Whatever the season, the menu changes daily and guarantees an authentic dining experience with a strong local flavour. Don’t miss the trout from the River Savinja served with vegetables from the kitchen garden. Young Filip will be happy to offer wine recommendations, including labels such as the delicate and rounded Meum Chardonnay 2019 from nearby Styria." - Michelin Inspector

Hisa Raduha, Luce, Slovenia - Explore & Book

"Set on the edge of sleepy mountain village Luče in the Logar Valley, authentic Hiša Raduha is a 100-year-old family-run hotel with a cluster of super-cosy forest suites that border the crystal clear Savinja river. Despite its historical legacy, the vibe perfectly suits the modern traveller. Find nature-immersed tranquillity, doorstep wild swimming, crafted wooden residences with hot tubs and wood burners, plus a top-notch restaurant serving hyper-local food and Slovenian wine. The welcoming Breznik family are the stewards of this lush riverine hideaway – there’s little they don’t know about nearby cycling routes, mountain hikes and hidden waterfalls. Here you can feel connected to the area in a way you often can’t in larger hotels. A highlight is dinner in the main house, built in 1875, where friendly, down-to-earth service belies exquisite homecooked and beautifully presented food, with recipes passed down four generations of family matriarchs. A place to be active or still, Hiša Raduha is a dreamy, good-for-the-soul escape in a little-known corner of Slovenia. Highs Unique architectural design in a beautiful, natural setting creates an unforgettable experience The food served at the famed onsite restaurant is outstanding The helpful owners are full of local knowledge The astonishingly clear river is just a few steps from the suites; perfect for wild swims There are activities aplenty nearby on the river; plus this is an excellent base for cyclists and hikers to explore the Savinja Alps from. This is bucket-list-worthy stuff Lows The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays; and remember to book ahead The suites are positioned quite closely together and there's a public footpath that runs through the property, so don’t expect total privacy The rooms are not air conditioned The Hayrack has bedrooms with low sloping ceilings and accessed by ladders: not great for taller or less agile folk The property is quite near a town, so expect some distant noise (ie. church bells, etc.)" - Harriet Whiting
