Spacious sunny apartment for 3

In 2009 I purchased a stone ruin in the centre of Kobarid and spent 3 years renovating it into five unique self-contained apartments with the aim of renting them out to international travellers.

The Apartments have all been named after Ernest Hemingway's wives and this spacious studio apartment (35sqm) has been named after his first wife Hadley.

This apartment (35sqm) has double bed, which sits under the original doorway to the house, which I have partially bricked up. It features granite ledges for the window and bathroom sills and a ceiling with the original wooden beams exposed.

There is also a single bed and an antique wardrobe and chester drawers for storing of clothes.

The kitchen is larger than average and has tons of storage space. It has a 4 ring electric stove, fridge/freezer, microwave oven, toaster, kettle, Bodum French press and Bialetti coffee makers and cooking equipment and crockery for three people. There is also a set of plastic tableware for children or picnics.

The dining room table seats three people and there is a wood burning stove.

The room has an en-suite bathroom, which has plenty of storage space and mirrors and an electric towel rail.

The apartment is located in the front of the house on the main floor and is access via the front door of the house. It has its own private and lockable door.

Please note that the apartment is right on the road. The windows are double glazed and at night there is little traffic on the road. So, it isn't that noisy, particularly if you have the ceiling fan switched on.

Small dogs are welcome in this apartment, for an additional €10 cleaning fee.

Parking

There is a very large free car parking place directly across the street from the house and another 4 free parking areas within a minutes walk of the house. I have left my own car there for years without any problems.

Outside Spaces

Hemingway House has two terraces from which to admire the stunning mountain views visible from them.

There is a large garden which has a BBQ and 2 picnic tables, as well as 3 sun loungers for you to relax on. And I've planted a herb garden and so guests can cook with fresh herbs.

To the rear of the property is a large secure barn where you can store larger sports equipment, kayaks, paragliders, bicycles etc. On the top floor, I would be more than happy to dry out wet clothes (and even tents) on your behalf.

Extras:

Guests staying for more than 3 days can do laundry at a cost of €2/load.

Breakfast is also available upon request at an added cost of €6/per person / per night. It consists of tea, coffee, hot milk, juice, fresh fruits, museli and corn flakes, yogurt, breads, meats, cheeses and a boiled egg. The breakfast can also be adapted to suit your tastes..ie. apple juice vs. orange juice etc.

I have tried to make this apartment a home away from home for guests and I wish you a very happy stay here in the Soca Valley.
