Gastronomic alpine chalet
Six rooms sit above a two-Michelin-starred dining room where regional foraging dictates the seasonal evening menu.
“This six-room chalet has a prime location in northwestern Slovenia, with the emerald Lake Jasna on its doorstep and the dramatic Julian Alps rising behind.”

Michelin Selected

Also in The 50 Discovery.
Overlooking Lake Jasna with views of the Julian Alps, Milka Boutique Hotel has just six rooms, each designed with local materials such as hand-quarried limestone, brushed larch, and oak offcuts.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Lake Jasna sits right outside, and the hairpin turns of the Vršič Pass climb directly into the Julian Alps.
The rooms
Rough oak offcuts line the floors, and a platformed bathtub in the Rock Suite looks straight across the water.
The spa
At the table
Picture windows look straight across Lake Jasna toward the peaks. Menus draw strictly on ingredients sourced within 150 kilometers.
How it began
The chalet began as a 1960s guesthouse with a discotheque, sitting neglected for years before a complete 2022 overhaul.
