PRI KARLU EX HISA BUDJA ^{* * *}

On the outskirts of Maribor, Aleš Budja has taken over the 14-room village inn established by his grandparents. Adding a touch of timeless modernity, he retains the much-appreciated intimacy of small-scale structures, with a personal, attentive welcome, local produce and home-made breakfast, and promotion of the surrounding wine-growing areas. A fervent defender of Slovenian heritage, Aleš has a whole story to tell for travelers wishing to immerse themselves in the country's culture and interact with locals.
