Lodging

We’ll be staying at smaller, family run hotels in Croatia and Bosnia and countryside farmhouses in Slovenia. Our Dubrovnik apartments are in the heart of the old town and next to the outdoor market, making it a perfect place to enjoy a fresh breakfast. The Villa St. Petar Hotel in Trogir is centrally located and is run by a knowledgable and friendly family. The hotel in Ljubljana is also in the old town, right near the triple bridge, outdoor market and Preseren Square. Our pension in Sarajevo is just a 5 minute walk from the Turkish quarter. The generous hosts in Slovenia’s Karst region provide us with wonderful dinners and breakfasts that include many unique regional specialties, fresh cheeses, prosciutto and local wines.
