About this property
Hisa Gradnikova 1850's stone cottage in the heart of Tolmin old centre
Hisa Gradnikova... a quaint 1850's stone built cottage in the heart of Tolmin old centre. A unique style, with a curvy exterior, built around one of the tiny side streets of the old town. Our house is ideally located less than 850m from the festival venue in rock, metal days, reggae.
Our house is one of the closest rental properties you can get to the beautiful Soca Valley river, where the festivals and water activities take place, where you access the river by walking down the the Dijaška Ulica road. It's location means you can walk to all the amenities; supermarkets, bars, and restaurants, and beach area.
The house had two front doors, one was used as the entrance for the animals, to the animal quarters with the living quarters above, now one is a floor to ceiling window. The original 1850's cow ring and large stones in the walls, as well as brick work around the windows are all preserved.
There is a lounge, with lots of windows and a door this leads to a very small courtyard, with outside seating for 4 people and BBQ. The lounge windows views out onto the old narrow streets of Tolmin centre.
A modern kitchen, whilst keeping some of the original features, such as the 1850's stone sink, and seating, hob, and wood burning stove, and a downstairs cloakroom.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms, one having ensuite shower room, and a further family ensuite shower room. Both showers are small(70*70cm). Again, the views from the bedroom windows look out onto the old narrow streets of Tolmin old centre.
There is solid 1850's original wooden flooring throughout the upper level.
If you are looking for a clinically clean, smooth edges, modern property, do not book. We have curvy walls, in fact the entire house is curvy, old worn floorboards, and original stone walls.
We have two large fans, as well as a portable air cooling unit.
** we do our very best to have house ready by 15:00, but occasionally it might not be possible depending on how the house is left on change over days. We will keep you updated on the day of arrival in the rare occasion that this is not possible and request you to arrive a little later
Our cancellation policy If you need to cancel after you have booked, and we can rebook the period, we will give you a full refund, although you may still have to pay VRBO fees.

Nice and charming house
Nice house on a good spot in the city.
Space was a bit tighter in the top floor than we expected.

Thank you for the review Henrik, and we hope to see you back again.
The top floor as you say has a low ceiling. so adults cannot stand up, but is the largest room in floor area, so great for children.
Communication with Linda was very good and easy. The house is nice and has everything you need for your stay. Located in the center of Tolmin everything can by reached easily by walking.
Can fully recommend.

Thank you very much for the lovely review Lisa-Marie. We glad you liked it, and would love to see you back. Linda
Ein einzigartiges und liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus im Herzen von Tolmin. Guter Ausgangspunkt um Ausflüge in die wunderschöne Natur und interessante Landschaft zu Fuß oder mit dem Auto zu unternehmen. Durch die großzügige Raumaufteilung ist auch unbeständiges Wetter kein Problem. Lage trotzt Zentrumsnähe ruhig. Kontakt zu Vermieterin zuverlässig und freundlich. Linda stand uns bei Fragen schnell und unkompliziert zur Seite. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
Mit Hisa erwartet dich ein uriges ehemaliges Bauernhaus, das komplett restauriert ist. Viele Bestände des ursprünglichen Gebäudes sind noch erhalten und sichtbar. Wir haben uns zu viert (zwei Erwachsene, zwei Jugendliche) sehr wohl gefühlt und hatten genügend Platz. Das Häuschen ist individuell und liebevoll eingerichtet.

Thank you Tanja for being super nice guests from Switzerland. It is so refreshing and motivational to receive such feedback during your stay, as well as more public on review sites.
Honestly we love to make our house available to families like you, who appreciate the history and attention In detail, carefully not spoiling things that need to be retained and untouched.
Your words, on and off this web portal have gone a long way to personal satirisation. We really appreciate it.
Until we see you and your family again Tanja, thank you..
Das Ferienhaus liegt mitten in Tolmin, Supermarkt, Restaurants, Bäcker, Touristeninfo... alles in unmittelbarer Nähe. Auch Sehenswürdigkeiten und Freizeitaktivitäten können zu Fuß erreicht werden (z.B. Kajakfahren, Baden in der Soca, Tolmikaschlucht...). Trotz der Lage im Ort ist es aber nachts sehr ruhig, da keine größere Straße in unmittelbarer Nähe ist. Das Haus wurde liebevoll und stilvoll renoviert und ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Wir hatten lediglich mit der Regulierung des warmen Wassers manchmal Schwierigkeiten (erst sehr kalt, dann sehr heiß). Der Dachraum, den wir gar nicht gebraucht haben, sieht auf dem Foto größer aus, als er ist. Der Kontakt mit den Gastgebern war sehr gut. Für uns eine wunderbare Woche!
The property was very clean and comfortable, especially the beds. It is a really charming place with lots of quirky features which you expect for this kind of house. The attic room did get hot so the couple staying there relocated to the front room. We were here for a festival and the location was excellent for that. Linda was welcoming and communication was perfect. Would definitely stay again if coming back to Tolmin.
Great house centrally located in the very centre of Tolmin, next to the central town square. Very nicely decorated and fully equipped with all necessary amenities. Highly recommended and comfortable for two families or a large group of friends.

Nice country and town
The accommodation was somewhat run down, although the bedding was clean, we found the rooms to be somewhat neglected and lacking in cleanliness.
Upon entering we found animal hair on one of the beds.
The attention of the owner, throughout the entry process, was great. Good accommodation but lacking in cleaning details

I think guests reading this review should look at the review before this family arrived, and directly after - 5***. There is a huge difference between a property being run down, and it being renovated very carefully keeping the original features. They are exactly as the photos, and I wonder what did Felipe really expect. We cleaned and took photos at 11:00 am. Felipe arrived at 6pm the same day, saying house was dirty. I immediately went round, and showed the photos we took of everything being very clean (including the bed that did not have any animal fur on it), we even took photos of the inside of the oven, I still have them! I asked Felipe to explain - he could not, except he thought a cat may have got in. I offered a full refund if the family thought the house was substandard and wanted to move (even giving the first night for free). Felipe stayed the entire 8 days, with out any further complaints! This I think this is testimony to my beautiful characteristic old house. We are fully booked, and with repeat customers. For those guests that do not appreciate a renovated 170 year old house, with stone walls, that are indeed dusty, very bumpy walls, and very old wooden original beams and floorboards, and original features such as stone radiators and stone sinks, and even original doors and handles- that we have kept as features then you should not book this endearing house, which is one of the very few houses in the old town centre. Whilst Felipe himself seemed a gentleman, and also his wife, there was another female family member who we found quite rude, thankfully I had very little communication with this lady, especially speaking some Spanish, it came across exceptionally rude, and perhaps she did not know that I understood what was being said. Communication with Felipe was excellent throughout. Whilst I would after some consideration accommodate Felipe and his wife again, as they seemed genuine, one would have to very seriously consider the other party members . Felipe and his family left the house as they found it - clean.

Wirklich schöne FeWo in zentraler Lage, nur im Sommer etwas zu heiß
Wir waren für ein Festival in Tolmin, da wir aber zu alt sind fürs campen, habe ich uns diese Ferienwohnung gebucht - und es war eine sehr gute Entscheidung. Wirklich zentral gelegen im Herzen des kleinen Städtchens, busanbindung, Supermärkte, Restaurants in wenigen Minuten zu erreichen, und die Wohnung ist wirklich gut ausgestattet.
Das einzige, weswegen es keine 5 Sterne gibt, ist die Tatsache, dass es in der Wohnung auch nachts kaum unter 30°C waren, und es in einem alten steinhaus natürlich keine Klimaanlage gibt. Und vor dem Fenster im Badezimmer des einen Schlafzimmers befand sich ein Wespennest, weswegen wir das Fenster nicht öffnen konnten...
Ansonsten aber einwandfrei. Sollten wir nochmal nach Tolmin fahren, würden wir uns nochmal hier einquartieren :)

Thank you very much Tom, for the lovely review, and it would certainly be great to host you again, you are perfect clients. Yes, this year especially it is very very unusually hot, all over Europe, the hottest in 41 years they say, as usually our house being made of stone, is cool enough, with the turbo fans.
Thank you again for being perfect clients, and we really hope to see you back here again.
All the best,
Linda
