If the Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Maria with its imposing bell tower and delicious kremna rezina in Lake Bled, Slovenia does not fill your traveling soul to the brim, then I would recommend a few days stay at Garden Village Resort to get that fulfilling taste.

The beguiling charm of Lake Bled led me to a state of trance. Before I could get out of that, I found myself at the entrance of Garden Village Resort. Being an avid traveler, unique experiences have often enthralled me and I can admit without slightest hesitation that the uniqueness of Garden Village surpassed my expectation by several degrees.
It was a key – neatly designed from a wooden block handed over to me by the chirpy front-desk officer that caught my attention first. Well, It unlocked a series of joyful surprises that I could not keep count of.
This resort located on the south of Lake Bled in Mino settlement about 400 meters from the lake, is an amazing haven for tourists. Its pristine Alpine nature with an abundance of greenery and free space promise you a high level of coziness with all modern facilities answering your every need. This resort complex with a unique adventurous-romantic charm offers something very new in Slovenia.
The design has a state-of-the-art element in it. It is entirely an eco-friendly property built over a deserted gardening space where visitors with a strong penchant for connecting with nature could spend a healthy and relaxed vacation.
