Don’t miss a unique opportunity to visit and explore Lake Bled without crowds

Before the COVID-19 pandemic more than half a million tourists flooded Bled every year. But with the shutdown and travel bans around the world put in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, tourists just about disappeared from Bled for more then 3 months.

Now, the tourists are slowly starting to return to Bled after Slovenia reopened its borders as the country brought the Coronavirus situation well under control. But the streets and walking paths around Lake Bled are still almost empty, giving tourists a unique opportunity to visit and explore Lake Bled without crowds.

We are delighted to confirm that our apartments have reopened with new Covid-19 measures

After a temporary closure due to the situation around coronavirus (COVID-19), we are delighted to confirm that our apartments have reopened and we look forward to welcoming you back! We will make sure your stay with us is not only relaxing, but as safe as possible.

Note for guests about cleanliness at Apartments Fine Stay in Slovenia
The health and well-being of our guests has always been, and always will be, our primary concern.

With the Coronavirus situation in Slovenia well under control, all accommodations in the country had been given the green light to reopen on June 1st. Slovenia is currently one of the safest countries in Europe to travel to. There are less than ten Covid-19 cases considered to be active in the country and only 13 new infections have been found in the last three weeks, all of which were linked to known cases or outbreaks or imported from abroad.

We have always taken great pride in delivering the highest standards in cleanliness and hygiene and we are very proud of our perfect or almost perfect cleanliness scores on Tripadvisor, Booking.com, Airbnb, and other travel websites. But cleanliness is even more critical during this time. We’re now using the ECDC (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control) standards to clean and disinfect our apartments.

These are the measures we are taking to ensure the safety of our guests:
– We make each apartment unavailable for at least one day between guests and all the windows are open the whole day to let in the fresh air.
– All frequently touched surfaces such as light switches, door handles, cabinet handles, electric sockets, faucets, sinks and tables will be disinfected before you check in.
– Remote controls for TV and A/C will also be disinfected and placed in a sealed plastic bag ready for your use.
– All kitchen cloths provided will be brand new.
– All crockery, cutlery and cookware will be fully checked for cleanliness and re-washed if necessary.
– As standard, the bathroom will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected but particular attention will be taken to areas such as toilet seats.
– Vacuum cleaner bags will be changed after each clean.
– All key safes and keys will be sanitised before every arrival.
– All part-used toilet roll and kitchen roll will be removed after every holiday departure.
– Bed throws, spare blankets and decorative soft furnishings will be removed from all of our apartments.
– Our cleaning lady wears single-use gloves while cleaning and change them after cleaning each apartment.
– We’ll not enter your apartment unless requested during your stay.
– Guests are able to check in and check out without any person-to-person contact.
