Vila Castanea
Welcome
Kostanjevica na Krki – where the lowland Krakovo ancient woodland slowly climbs into the hilly green Gorjanci.
Boutique Bed & Breakfast Vila Castanea – in Slovenian’s only town on a river island
The Vila Castanea is in the very heart of the old town Kostanjevica na Krki, in the Slovenia’s only town on a river island. It is an ideal place to relax, enjoy the natural beauty of the soft Dolenjska landscape, the picturesque wine-growing hills and the soothing Krka. This grand town house from the end of the 19th century is a protected landmark of local importance with a diverse and interesting history – as an inn, residential house and villa. It boasts a richly decorated front facade, an arched ground floor, floors made of local stone and an arcaded interior courtyard in the shade of a mighty chestnut tree. It dominates the old part of Kostanjevica na Krki; its windows open onto wonderful views of the soft Dolenjska hills, the sleepy Krka and the town. Breathe in the fresh spring air, enjoy the scent of newly mown grass in late summer and allow yourself to be tempted by baked chestnuts from the surrounding woodlands.
Let the Vila Castanea be yours alone!
The exclusive hire of the villa for the organisation of a business event or wedding will guarantee you complete privacy; thus your stay and that of your guests will be adapted to your wishes. You are warmly welcome.

Guest Reviews

We have already spent a three-day off-season holiday in Vila Castanea, on the peaceful and magnificent island of Kostanjevica na Krki. Great location, beautiful historical house with a nice common room. Being three, we had a family room, very spacious and elegant. Since we were the only guests, we were cuddled since the first minute. Breakfast was simply superlative, with local fresh products, bread, cured meats and fruits. Besides, we had available mineral water and fresh fruits during the staying. The owner gave us many interesting suggestions on where to eat and what/where to buy some Slovenian delicatessen. We will come back for sure and tell our friends to go there!

It is like in 4* hotel. Great design, spacious room, excellent bed, nice art collection .. Owners are very nice. Don't forget that this place is on the island surrender by Krka river and the Dolenjska region is green and pictures. Perfect for food and nature lovers.

The apartment we stayed in is modern, stylish and decorated with love. All this is done in the old but well renovated historical building. We've got a free room upgrade and could enjoy drinking the tea and wine on the balcony faced into the inner yard. The room, hall and breakfast room are light and very clean. The neighborhood is very nice. The property is located on the small island with old and beautiful buildings. The breakfast is very tasty and includes a wide choice of farmer products such as cheeses, bread, salami, juices, yogurts and fruits and berries. But probably the most important is the hostess Nina. Her kindness, friendliness and helpfulness really made our stay to a perfect one. Thank you very much, dear Nina, for your hospitality

A beautiful B&B in a wonderful place of Slovenia - excellent breakfast and very charming guest

Everything was just perfect. Vse je bilo prekrasno

Can not recommend this place enough. Friendly reception, good parking, excellent breakfast (but poor wifi). Sleep quality is perfect, but.....
Do not expect any nightlife or restaurants. This is a quiet little town in the south eastern part of Slovenia and good for a 1 night stop over or during the summer time enjoying the river and take some time off. For thrill seekers this is not the part of Slovenia to visit, but for us it was a perfect stop in a perfect Bed & Breakfast -
Despite this B&B is rated with 3*, it is much better than many 4* stars hotel I have stayed in. Newly decorated, lots of space, charming interior, very good breakfast. And one practical note - entrance and parking is not from the street, you need to go through the gate on the left side of the house

The building (an old renovated Villa) was amazing. The hostess, Nina, and her colleague were absolutely delightful. They were very helpful in every way. The room and bathroom were absolutely clean and comfortable. The breakfast included locally produced pate, ham, fresh fruit, yogurt, eggs and more. I would definitely recommend this property for anyone visiting this beautiful wine region.
