About this property
Great house in quiet village, ideal for families, short drive to local amenities
The Old Vicar's House is a beautifully restored stone house with lots of character (the house suffered bomb damage in WW1 but thankfully was rebuilt in 1928). It is located in Podmelec, a traditional but vibrant village with very friendly neighbours. It is equidistant to both Most na Soci and Tolmin via safe main roads and tourist routes.
It is a perfect location for those looking for a quiet base with all the mod cons. The accommodation would suit singles, couples, or families with 1 child. In 2018, the house can accommodate up to 3 persons.
All of the original features of the house have been retained, there are exposed ceiling beams to all floors, original sanded doors and flooring throughout, a wood burning stove, a modern fitted kitchen with granite work surface, a dishwasher and a variety of quality appliances to ensure an enjoyable stay. The dining room is perfect for all meal times. There is a luxury bathroom with separate shower and bath and also a separate cloakroom upstairs.
There is a large balcony to the front for al-fresco dining or sunbathing and a side terrace adjacent to the basement utility / play room.

Why they chose this property
I was very lucky with the sunny village I chose to buy in; it is very vibrant and the locals are great, friendly and used to visitors in the summer. It is easy to get to as it is in the foothills of the Julian alps, so getting to shops, restaurants, petrol station is all possible within a 15 minute drive.
What makes this property unique
The house was formerly the Slovene Vicar's house for the village and was once owned by a relative of Picasso! Spiritually, it is very calm and pure; staying and sleeping there is very relaxing with great local neighbours who all know me well.
