Beautiful setting right on Lake Bled with amazing views and wonderful food. We started with coffee then returned after exploring and enjoyed a late lunch then stayed and watched the New Year's Eve torchlight procession around the lake. Reasonable prices and Very friendly staff. Just PERFECT! We plan to return and stay for a few days.

As others have mentioned it is very difficult to check in here, with the waiters seemingly too busy to be bothered. It is a lovely location right on the lake though, but when we were there the middle of September there were still lots of crowds. The room was fine, but very small. I wished the view of the lake...

We arrived in Slovenia on a Friday evening and took a shuttle to the Vila Preseren. When we arrived there was no area to check in and the staff seemed totally dis-interested in us, so we were kind of left standing around wandering what to do. The room itself was really nice, but the shower did leak over the floor.... More

Main benefit of Vila Preseren is location and restaurant. If I ever visit Bled again, I would definitely eat and spend some time here, but I would avoid sleeping here. As someone wrote, it is opposite of luxury. It hasn't been renovated, I think, since Yugoslavia existed, it is not very clean, old shabby windows, old furniture, dust in the... More

Location is what really sells this one - Lake Bled literally lapping at your toes as you eat in the hotel's handsome restaurant, lulled by its distinctive fountains and looking up the water to the island and the castle. The restaurant (which is where you pick your breakfast from) is top notch; we got engaged while staying here and had... More

Right on the shore of Lake Bled, a lovely small hotel, once home to a local poet who wrote of the beauty of this place. With its location a stone's throw away from the lake, coupled with the restaurant and bar underneath, with its terrace onto the lake front. A wonderful place to stay. Great for a weekend or even...

I loved the Vila Preseren. It had everything that you would possibly need right there at the Vila. The Vila was right on the lake. Fantastic views!!! The restaurant was terrific and had beautiful views while you were dining. The Vila had an ice cream bar with cozy seating around it for your comfort. Breakfast was fantastic. You could choose...

This is not your average hotel. It is located on the shores of Lake Bled above a very exceptional restaurant and bar. What makes this hotel very different is that there is no reception or guest services to speak of. You check in at the restaurant and all enquiries about the room or activities in and around Lake Bled is... More

We booked the two suites and were looking forward to a little luxury but were disappointed. The suites are almost identical and only the upper one has the view. Each suite has a large bedroom and a large, what I will describe as a second bedroom, with a single bed in it, two dining chairs and a small table and... More
