The Experience

Life here moves to the rhythm of the Soča River and the Julian Alps near Tolmin. We're a small family — a maker, designer, artist, and very curious 4-year-old — welcoming EU citizens for genuine cultural exchange. Shared meals, stories, adventures, creativity. We paraglide, climb, walk, and make things. A sculpture garden, creative workshops, and yoga and meditation sessions are all taking shape. EU citizens only. Not a working stay.

I came for a the home and stayed with Andrew and his family in the valley — such a great experience. They were so laid back and welcoming, it felt like home right away. The nature and walks through the valley were beautiful, a real highlight of my trip. Thank you Andrew and family for such a warm, easy-going stay — I left with great memories.

Staying in the Soča Valley was a genuine the home in a stunning landscape. The hosts were easy-going and welcoming, and I loved cooking together, sharing stories, and working in the garden. We exchanged ideas around design and art, from small woodworking projects in the studio to CAD, video editing, and website concepts — creative, relaxed, and inspiring.

Andrew has a lot of experiences and a lot of plans with the place which he like to share. There is still a lot of things to do, but because he has a vision with the place he always knows what he wants from you to do. The palce is working pretty good, because he has a system how he manages the place. And the nature around is wonderful and there's a lot of places to visit 😁

Andrew welcomed me for a short visit. The people and the food were amazing! We visited the river most days, which was such a highlight. The work was easy—mainly gardening tasks like weeding and cleaning—and we played lots of card games in our downtime. I was especially lucky to be there while a professional chef was staying, so the food was truly exceptional. I'll really miss the vibe of the house and all the great people. Thank you for such a memorable stay!

Andrew is a great host, many thanks for having me. I had a great experience, starting on a new patio project. For a great, cool outdoor area to relax and enjoy meals or just reading a book.Would also be a great spot for watching the many paragliders in the air.For me, it was best to go down to the beach by the river after lunch. The colours of the water is pretty spectacular. Great for sunbathing and meeting locals. Lots of other walks also very close to walk for alone/ friends and nature time. Meeting and spending time with fellow travellers was special and will definitely stay with me!
