We have just returned back to Ljubljana (capital of Slovenia) this moment, after our stay in Bled at Apartment Marjetka, and it has been magical. The apartment is in a private house, owned by the kindest family. Uros, who is the owners son, made our dinner plans upon our late arrival, as we didn't know where to have a bite to eat that late, and we were more than satisfied with his help and service. He has even given us a lift to the restaurant !
The apartment has a fully equipped and recently refurbished kitchen, 2 big balconies with furniture, 2 bathrooms, cable TV and free WiFi, which was off course of utmost importance to our son.
Bled is a little town, with the cleanest lake (where you can swimm), a lot of nice little shops and a good amount of night life, only a few minutes away. The apartment is in a quieter area though, which was good for a good night sleep. A nice little bakery and a smaller grocery shop are just a 3 minute walk away, which was very comfortable for us. The house also has a nice garden area, where we had a BBQ, and we could use it as we pleased.

The apartment is a few minutes walk from the lake in a residential are of Bled. It is away from the main tourist centre so is quieter and feels less touristy than in town. The hosts were very friendly, even unexpectedly meeting us at the bus stop to save us from having to carry our heavy bags down the road. There are two bedrooms, two bathrooms and two balconies in the apartment and the view from the rear balcony is stunning. The kitchen/dining area is compact and even with our family of 5 we a managed to prepare and eat food. Everything was very clean, well equipped and organised. The small supermarket at the end of the road, just 5 minutes away was convenient and it was easy to walk to the bus station in town in the centre of town.

Firstly, we’d like to say "thank you" to Uros and his Mum and Dad for making us so welcome and their friendly assistance during our stay.
We found the apartment to be better than we were expecting from the photos shown online, especially, as there were no pictures of the bathroom or shower room. The bathroom had a shower unit fixed over the bath, a sink, bidet and toilet. The shower room also had a sink and toilet. Both rooms were fully tiled on the walls and floor, very clean and everything working perfectly. We were actually very pleased with the bath and shower room facilities in the apartment.
As our booking was for myself, husband and 14 year old son the 2 bedroom apartment was ideal. Especially with a television in each bedroom and of course the all essential Wifi!! It was not a problem for us that there was no living room – as it was warm outside and we could sit on the balcony at the front where there was a dining table and 4 chairs, or the balcony at the back where there were 4 large wicker chairs. Not to mention the lovely countryside and mountain views.
The kitchen was fine for our requirements and the fridge located under the draining board had a small freezer section which was adequate for freezing a couple of ice packs and making ice cubes.
This apartment is very conveniently located. It is about a 10 minute walk down to the lake. There are several excellent restaurants and snack bars nearby. It’s a 5 minute walk to an amazing bakery which is open 6.00am – 10.00pm everyday! There is also a supermarket opposite the bakery.
Bled is beautiful. We swam in the Lake which is wonderful as the water is so clean. We also hired paddle boards on the lake. Nearby in Bled is also Summer Tobogganing and a high tree activity park with Zip wires etc. We hired bikes locally at 12 euros each for the day. We enjoyed a cycle ride around some local villages , the lake and to Vintgar Gorge which was beautiful with its many waterfalls.
Next to the entrance of Bled campsite on the other side of the lake there was a very nice man teaching Archery which my son thoroughly enjoyed.
There are so many fun activities available nearby including climbing, canyoning, rafting, Kayaking and also other scenic attractions near to the also beautiful Lake Bohinj.
This was the perfect holiday for us and we would definitely recommend this apartment to our friends and family. We also hope to return there again ourselves.

Uros and his parents Bojan and Marjetka who run the apartment were lovely and really helpful. Uros was in regular email contact beforehand to answer any questions, and through him we were able to arrange for his dad to transfer us to and from Ljubliana airport (about 30 mins away by car). All spoke very good English, and during our stay Bojan and Marjetka were on hand if we needed anything.
The apartment was excellent - situated about 10 mins walk from the lake, it was in a quiet spot with lovely views of the mountains and the castle. The apartment itself was very clean and well equipped, with two large bedrooms, two large bathrooms as well as the kitchen and balconies.
There was a supermarket and a lovely bakery just at the end of the road, near to a bus stop where you can get the bus into Ljubliana (just over an hour's journey). The tiny bus station in Bled was about 15mins walk away, from which you can get a bus to the Vintgar Gorge, well worth a visit.
Lake Bled itself is lovely. There is plenty to do in the way of water sports and places for swimming, and the views are amazing. Bled is quite a small place but there some good restaurants where you can eat out in the evening if you want. We would definitely recommend it and if we visit Bled again we would go back to Apartment Marjetka!

We arrived at night and Marita was very friendly, very helpful.
Someone wrote she does not speak English well, but that is absolutely not true. She speak English very well and what's even more important is that she is very helpful.
We got 2 bedrooms apartment and 2 bathrooms. 2 balconies and very nice and equipped kitchen.
It's an amazing place and we love it! We are a family of 2 children who had their own room and we had our own room.
