Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Definitely Smartbox!
After posting an initial review, I received a request for additional information and I briefly hoped that Smartbox would call me back. I know today that this will not be the case. Bravo to this customer service, therefore to this company, which shows to what extent it cares about the well-being of the customers who place their trust in them.
An 80 year old person who does not have internet and who forgets or cannot register their box on time, (covid requires!) simply loses their grandchildren's Christmas present.....
No, but what a shame on the part of such a company which does not respond and does not even make a commercial exchange offer. The gift box was nevertheless cashed.
I will use my last box and then.... Neither we nor our children will use or rely on this company. Box concerned 809 097 439 000
I urge all readers of this message to be careful in whom they place their trust.

This little village was briefly mentioned in one of the leaflets we picked up. It's a beautiful place surrounded by vineyards. The town itself is grAdually being restored following a earthquake some years ago, however there are boards around the village giving explanations about different buildings and then and now pictures. We spent an afternoon here, plenty of photos to be had - make sure to visit the church there as very pretty. Easy parking and great friendly welcome from the pub owner too

The village of Smartno is a total gem. Located in the heart of Goriska Brda (a famous wine, cherry and olive oil region), it's a site you should definitely visit. A quaint village, full of history and offering treats for wine lovers and foodies. Stop in Gonjace's view tower for a bird's eye view of the village.

You'll love it when you visit. It small romantic village and you will definitly enjoy walking around. Combine you're trip with visit of one of the best local vinery (Movia) and try local food. In hotel San Martin you can try good food from local ingrediens. The view on the green hills is priceless.

Smartno is a beautiful walled village surrounded by the most glorious vineyards, rolling hills and scenery.
I visited, as it lies at the end of stage 31 of the Alpe Adria Trail. Worth a walk nearby is also the Smartno viewing Tower. You can see the Julian Alps on one side and the Adriatic to the south.
Smartno itself is a car-free place with lovely stone cobbled corridoors, some fab bars and restaurants and some nice accomodation. The church is the focal point.
Its a great place to visit

Beautiful Smartno, we stayed at the lovely Hisa Marcia and hired bikes from tourist info. A brilliant day cycling around the area and dropping in on local wine producers to test their lovely wines. Electric bikes also available- highly recommended it’s very hilly.

We actually stayed on Italian side. The whole reason was to try orange wine (white wine, not wine from oranges 😛). When we planned the places to visit, we found olive oil testing in Oljčni bar hosted by Tatjana. We had most beautiful 2 hours of talking to her, and then proper tasting of olive oil. Tatjana gave us a lot tips and how-to.
Very interesting and tasteful event!
Walk through old charms of Smartno streets.

It was amazing to be on the top of the hill and see all other villages bellow you and surrounding Smartno. Village has a lot of old houses with church in the middle. Smartno has 2 entrances with walls around city. Inside there are 2 restaurants on each entrance site and one before in the hotel. Place worth to visit and even stay.

Where did you stay in the Italian side? All the places are booked for next June!

I live in Slovenia. But I am sure you can find place in Nova Gorica or Tolmin od Idrija to stay. It's not so far away. It depends on what you plan to visit. Even capital Ljubljana is not so far away.
