Šentvid, Ljubljana

A quiet base in Ljubljana's Šentvid, under Šmarna gora.

Medenska cesta 8, 1000 Ljubljana. Close enough to the city for dinner, far enough out that the evenings are silent.

01 — The neighbourhood

The last streets before the hill.

Šentvid is a residential district in the north-west of Ljubljana, arranged along the old road towards Gorenjska. There are family houses, a church, a few shops and the wooded shoulder of Šmarna gora rising behind them. Our three homes sit on Medenska cesta, a side street off the main road, behind a gate and a private parking area.

It is not the old town, and it does not try to be. What it offers is space, free parking and a quiet night — with the Ljubljana basin, the castle and the river only a short drive away. For a city break it is a calmer alternative to a hotel room; for a walking trip it is a practical base at the foot of the hill.

A note on noise. This is a residential street, and the homes share a courtyard. Quiet hours are 22:00–06:00, bachelor and bachelorette parties are not accepted, and music should stay indoors. In return, you get a garden where the loudest thing is usually a blackbird.
