A unique cultural heritage with rooms with a story Pr’ Gavedarjo is located in the idyllic little village of Podkoren, the pearl of the Upper Sava valley and the surroundings of Kranjska Gora. The rooms tell stories, which have been flowing through the Gregori family for several hundred years already. On its hundredth anniversary the house received a new appearance, in which we impressed the story of the cultural heritage into a unique design and adapted its form so that it became usable and the bearer of everything beautiful, and complemented it with modern elements for unique guest comfort.
The renovation concept of the homestead Pr’ Gavedarjo Podkoren combined two driving stories of the family: the preservation of cultural heritage and the environmental aspect with the use of natural materials, energy efficiency and with minimal impact on the environment where this was possible. The added furniture is made of solid Slovenian wood, treated only with waxing; lime paints are used, the mattresses are made of cotton and natural latex, while the towels and bed linen boast organic (natural) and Fair trade certificates.
Stories are what make the rooms with a story Pr’ Gavedarjo Podkoren unique, since many have interwoven in its 100 years. The story of mother Marija and father Franc intertwines with the story of aunt Silva and the farmhand Jaka from the past and with the story of father Janez, the present master of the homestead and a great local environmentalist. Every room tells its own story, which it also complements with selected furnishings and textiles.
In the carefully renovated homestead we today find homeliness and comfort, combined with the visual perfection of the space and Slovenian cultural heritage. Here you will feel genuine homeliness and charming elegance. You will experience unrepeatable feelings and moments of relaxation and comfort.
You are warmly invited to rooms with a story Pr’ Gavedarju Podkoren.

ROOMS WITH A STORY PR’GAVEDARJO HAVE RECEIVED THE PRESTIGIOUS TRAVELIFE AWARD FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
In tourism trends are increasingly turning towards long-term sustainable development, and some tourist accommodations are following this too, thereby complementing their usual offer for guests. One such is also the renovated homestead in the village of Podkoren, in the unspoilt surroundings of Kranjska Gora, where the owner, in her care for preserving family and Slovenian tradition, has created unique rooms.
The homestead has been in the family's ownership for more than 100 years; it has preserved its original name Pr’Gavedarjo, with the added explanation “Rooms with a story”. From the very beginning the vision and the guiding thread of the accommodation was something special, directed above all at preserving local cultural heritage and sustainable development. In renovating the homestead they used natural materials: lime plasters and solid wood, and in the rooms they preserved the original wall paintings, which they discovered when removing the plaster and then restored; they also preserved the old family furniture, the dowry the grandmothers brought into the house on their marriage, and interwove it with modern elements, while the finishing touch to the setting is given by the unique design of the renowned designer Almira Sadar, where the stories of family, local and Slovenian cultural heritage are interwoven in an innovative way.
The guiding thread of sustainable development shows itself to the guest already at the delicious healthy breakfast, since delicacies from the home garden, dairy products from a local farm, Slovenian cereals with an organic certificate and other organic products of Slovenian producers await them. In the construction and the interior furnishing only natural materials are used, for a better microclimate and the wellbeing of guests; for heating they use only waste energy from the neighbouring industry and biomass; the shampoos and soaps are ecological; as a cleaning agent they use, besides ecological cleaners, apple vinegar, and in the rooms and at breakfast guests receive only paper recycled from tetra packs. Besides the ecological aspect of sustainable development, Rooms with a story Pr’Gavedarjo are also aware of the social and economic aspect and support an active dialogue with the local community regarding their needs and wishes in the direction of tourism, they offer employment to the local population and help with events organised by the local community.
In May, as one of the first tourist accommodations in Slovenia, they received for their effort and achievements a prestigious award: the Travelife certificate for sustainable development in tourism, which confirms the right direction of their development and quality work in the field of sustainable development in Kranjska Gora and Slovenia.
