Guests are delighted with the rich and delicious breakfasts, which include homemade bread and other local delicacies. In addition to breakfast, they also offer dinners, which are also highly praised. The menu includes cold cuts with local specialties, dishes on the spoon and, of course, traditional Prlek desserts, such as Prlek gibanica and ajdova pogača. Despite the fact that it is not a classic restaurant with an extensive menu, the emphasis is on quality, freshness and authenticity of flavors, which visitors greatly appreciate.

Wine cellar and wine tasting

The location in the middle of the wine-growing hills is no coincidence. Zelena Oaza boasts its own, more than 250-year-old renovated cellar, where they produce their own wine. Guided wine tastings are available to guests, where they can try excellent wines produced with love and knowledge. Special mention is made of the Muscat Otonel, which has convinced many. The possibility of purchasing house wines and other local products, such as delicious pumpkin oil, is an added value that allows guests to take a piece of the experience home with them.

Idyllic location and cleanliness

The peaceful location, surrounded by nature and vineyards, is ideal for escaping the hustle and bustle of the city and everyday stress.

The rooms are described as spacious, exceptionally clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable, ensuring a quality rest. There are eight rooms of different sizes available, including a family room and a room adapted for the disabled.

Potential weaknesses and aspects to consider

Despite the mostly glowing reviews, for an objective picture, some aspects must also be taken into account that may not suit all potential guests.

Distance and accessibility

What is for some the biggest advantage – a quiet and somewhat remote location – may be a disadvantage for others. Access to the Green Oasis is easiest by car, as public transport connections are not ideal. Those looking for a lively nightlife or proximity to major city centers will not find it here. The location is primarily intended for retreating into nature and enjoying peace, which should be taken into account when planning a visit.

Limited catering offer

It is important to understand that Zelena Oaza is not a classic tavern or restaurant , open all day and offering an extensive à la carte menu. Their good food is available mainly for guests staying overnight, and often by prior arrangement. The offer is focused on specific dishes based on seasonal and local ingredients. This ensures freshness, but means a smaller selection compared to larger catering establishments. If you are visiting for lunch or dinner only, it is essential to check availability in advance and make an appointment.

Advance reservation required

Due to its great popularity and limited number of rooms (only eight), reservations are almost essential, especially during high season and weekends. Spontaneous visits may not be possible, so it is advisable to plan in advance to avoid disappointment. This applies to both overnight stays and larger groups who would like to rent the space for events or celebrations.

Zelena Oaza - B&B is more than just a tourist farm; it is a destination that offers an authentic Prlek experience. Led by dedicated young owners, it combines the best of the traditional and modern. It is an ideal choice for those seeking peace, contact with nature, top-notch local cuisine and genuine hospitality. While its remoteness and focused culinary offerings may not be for everyone, it offers an unforgettable experience for those who appreciate these qualities. Without a doubt, this is a place that deserves a place among the best restaurants and farms in Slovenia, mainly because of the heart and soul that the owners put into their work.
