Location
Strmol Castle is situated on the slopes of Dvorjanski Hill, near the village of Dvorje by Cerklje na Gorenjskem, approximately 10 km from the Brdo Estate and just a short transfer from Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport. The castle enjoys a sunny position above a lake, surrounded by an avenue of trees and a manicured park, creating a microclimate of peace and quiet.
Accommodation
The castle houses a four-star boutique hotel where each room tells its own story.
Rooms and suites are furnished with original pieces from the pre-war owner, meaning you stay in a space that is both a museum and a home.
The intimate number of rooms allows for a highly personal approach, discretion, and complete escape from everyday life.
Standard amenities include high-quality beds, bathrobes and slippers, Wi-Fi, bathrooms with selected cosmetic products, and views of the park or the lake.
For special occasions, a suite or exclusive rental of the entire castle for small groups is also available.
Programs
Although Strmol Castle is not a classic wellness hotel, it provides an exceptional setting for a bespoke longevity retreat, curated for guests by Longevity Travel:
Regeneration and Reset (Mind & Body)
- Morning walks through the castle park and along the lake; gentle “forest bathing” in the tree-lined avenue.
- Guided breathing exercises and gentle stretching in the castle salon or outdoors.
- Evening relaxation with tea, reading, or silence in historic rooms—free from noise and crowds.
Cultural and Historical Experience
- Guided tour of the castle, highlighting stories of former owners and its transformation into a boutique hotel.
- Option to organize a themed dinner or tasting as “lord/lady of the castle for one night,” in cooperation with the Brdo Estate.
Active Retreat in Gorenjska
