In the rolling Slovenian countryside amid forests of beech and oak, Pule Estate is a luxury hotel combining seclusion, dining and natural beauty. A collection of just six private wood and glass houses set into a sloping hillside, the estate is a rustic escape with a relaxed and open atmosphere.

The facilities

The estate houses stables with five Lipizzaner horses, perfect for exploring the undulating landscape. After a day exploring the churches and castles that dot the area, unwind at the estate’s spa, a refuge with Finnish saunas and expert treatments and massages. The restaurant is truly unforgettable, offering sumptuous modern takes on regional cuisine, plus an incredible wine cellar with bottles from around the globe and the Dolenjska wine region.

The rooms

Six houses are divided into nine suites, each named for a woman from the Anderlic family, each with a central open fireplace using fragrant birch. Spacious interiors blend seamlessly into the green exterior from abundant windows and each suite comes standard with modern amenities and a private terrace with sun lounges.
