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.

The walking path around Lake Bled is 6 kilometers long and is suitable for walks, recreation, cycling or walks with small children (the path can be easily transported by stroller, scooter or pushchair).

In spring our guests can watch how the nature wakes up

Spring is such a wonderful season to stay with us at Apartments Fine Stay! Nature awakens and throws away its winter blanket. Everything comes back to life during spring – the sun makes its way through the clouds and shines brighter every day, the buds bloom and we finally get to wake up to the sound of birds chirping.

Fine Stay Apartments in the Fall

Fall is such a wonderful time of year to visit Slovenia. The air is cool and crisp, the leaves are a beautiful yellow, orange and reddish-brown color and life slows down a little. Peak travel season is over which means cheaper prices and way less people around at the natural, cultural and historic attractions in the region. And since fall is the traditional harvest season it’s also a fab time for foodies!

Fall is such a beautiful time of year in Slovenia and the Bled area and it deserves a lot more attention than it gets. Slovenia gets a lot of tourism in the summer, so beat the crowds and head here when the weather turns chilly. Visit the nearby natural wonders, hike to your heart’s content and enjoy the bright fall leaves.

Exterior of our Fine Stay Apartments in autumn

Here are some new photos of the exterior of our Fine Stay Apartments that our photographer, Vida Dimovska, took last week on October 14th. As you can see, the autumn is in full swing here in Slovenia. The trees have even been a bit delayed in their annual display of colour, but we are finally starting to see some pretty colours and some crisp, cool air take hold.

Spring has arrived, and it is beautiful!

Towards the end of winter, most people begin to anxiously await spring’s arrival. We are tired of the cold weather and ready to feel some sunshine on our faces and see the earth’s rebirthing process starting again. So, we couldn’t be more happy to report that spring has arrived and the first beautiful, warm days of spring have already hit us.

We just love the way the nature around our apartments looks in spring! We took the camera and made a few photos from different angles.

The autumn has arrived

The colorful Autumn has arrived and now is fascinating us with beautiful landscapes covered in leaves that dyed themselves into a brilliant array of warm colors, from lemon yellow to intense orange, to dark red. During this span of time, it’s best to take your camera with you wherever you go and take some beautiful pictures while the leaves are falling and the sun is shining. It is such a picturesque season that everywhere you look the scenery seems to be a fantastic photo opportunity.
