Company information

My name is Marko. I admit that life has offered me numerous gifts. I have traveled extensively around the world and explored its diversity. I have parachuted from mountains and airplanes, gone scuba diving, skiing, snowboarding, coached at a riding school, trained in kickboxing, been an avid cyclist... I have a wonderful wife and an exceptional daughter. In my professional journey, I was the owner of one of the largest event management agencies in Slovenia. Today, I lecture at the best school for coaching and communication in Ljubljana and I am also a coach myself. But what I enjoy the most is being at the homestead, where my mother lives. There, I raise goats, plant potatoes, and am in touch with pristine nature. My love and respect for tradition led me to hospitality. I have completely renovated the house where we have apartments, preserving the ancestral masterpieces and creating pleasant, modern, and luxurious accommodations for travelers. My family and I also live in this house.

Property information

Under The Castle Apartments Ljubljana contains five apartments: a ground-floor apartment A, a standard apartment B, a studio apartment C, a one-bedroom apartment D, located on the first floor, and a penthouse apartment with private balcony PH on the third floor. Each apartment offers its own unique style, size, design, and comfort. The building includes a common terrace patio for all residents to use. The entire property was fully renovated in 2021. Apartments are located in a more than 450-year-old building, which has become an official cultural monument. The structure was developed in phases, with the initial part being a section of the current building as part of the Defense Wall of Ljubljana Castle, including a watchtower, perched on the green castle hill. The building is theoretically part of the infrastructure of Ljubljana Castle. Gradually, the building expanded and was reconstructed into its present form in three parts. As the building is part of the Ljubljana city walls, staying at Under The Castle apartments essentially places you in the heart of the old town of Ljubljana, extending from the city walls onward. The apartments offers a special retreat from the most vibrant part of the city to a sense of homeliness, authenticity, and magic of the past. Feeling real-time leap. You have the city close at hand to enjoy a pleasant walk or a shopping spree. The house is located in an area that is accessible for delivery by car, or taxi, but away from traffic, in a quiet area. The apartments are a step away from the historical sights, and most popular spots in Ljubljana as well as numerous cultural and fun events. When on booking page in the option Select there are all possibilities for your dates and number of guests. Browse the available apartments, before selecting the option that best suits you (size, price, design, cancellation options), view the gallery of the chosen apartment and description to verify your selection before finalizing your booking.

Neighbourhood information

Under The Castle Apartments are situated in Ljubljana's historic old town, right next to pedestrian-only area. However, despite the pedestrian zone, it stands out as one of the few remaining accessible by car or taxi, offering convenience and ease of access. Nestled on the verdant slopes of the castle hill, it provides a tranquil and picturesque setting for your stay. The building has two entrances, each offering its unique charm. From one entrance, you can step out from the Ljubljana city walls and directly onto the Funicular Railway to Ljubljana Castle. Here, on the square where the funicular begins, you can enjoy coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert just a few meters from the back door of Under The Castle. On the other side of Under The Castle Apartments, stepping out leads you into Old Ljubljana City. The walking path at Ljubljana Castle and numerous footpaths around the hill itself offer the perfect setting for those who like to take a short walk or jog in nature. You step out of the house directly onto the walking path that leads to Ljubljana Hill Castle in just 10 minutes (a nice peaceful walk or jog) or guides you towards the vibrant city center. Within a minute, you can stroll to the main Ljubljana marketplace. Throughout the main market, you can reach the River Ljubljana, Locks Bridge, and Dragon Bridge in a minute. Nearby, you can also find Market Spar and Ho-fer, as well as the Kapitel parking garage (3 minutes from the apartment). Within a total of 3-5 minutes walking distance, you can visit Prešeren Square and the central stone bridge Triple Bridge, Robb Fountain, and also nearby (7 minutes walking) there is a part of the city with rich evening events, shops, and all major city events, where you'll find an infinite number of tasty restaurants and cafes. The main train and bus station is just a 10-minute walk away.
