Villa Recica sits in a stunning peaceful location, just a few hundred metres from the shores of Lake Bled, its island and the Karavanke Mountains as a back drop, with the impressive Pokljuka forests stretching to the rear of the property. The Bled area is surrounded by beautiful scenery and things to do from walks around the lovely Vintgar Gorge and various hills surrounding the lake to great mountain walking and mountain biking on the Pokljuka Plateau, kayaking, canyoning and rafting on the Sava River and its tributaries, as well of course as swimming and boating on Lake Bled itself.
Villa Recica is located in a quiet residential area on the desirable castle side of the lake, ideally placed to access all that the area has to offer, with excellent restaurants and a fantastic lakeside beach area just a 20 minute walk away, offering a snack bar, restaurant, beautiful lawned areas to relax on the lake shore overlooking views of the island and the mountains beyond. From here you can also access to the path circuiting the lake for beautiful walks in both directions. If you don't feel like walking you can drive for 3 minutes from the house, park and walk for a few minutes down to the lake shore. The centre of Bled town is a 5 minute drive or a beautiful half hour walk around the lake shore. Please note as the Villa is in an elevated position there is a modest climb to reach the property form the lake shore.
