Penzion Berc

The room was wonderful, very nicely appointed. Lovely well-maintained property. Fabulous service. The owner even made dinner reservations for us elsewhere for that evening since they weren't open on Sunday. We did eat there the following evening and the food was great! Beautiful, charming property. Very quiet. I loved being away from the crowds as this hotel is in a more residential area but just a short downhill walk to lakeside and the main tourist areas.

Berc is as picture perfect in person as on the website. Alen will greet you with a broad smile and lots of tips on restaurants and activities (if you want to visit the bees at Kralov Med then be sure to book several days in advance). Our rooms were light, spacious and filled with generous extras: apricot biscuits, fizz, apples and soft drinks in the fridge, local moisturisers in the bathroom. Breakfast was a feast for the eyes and taste buds: grains you milled yourself, local yogurt, four types of Slovenian honey and the usual breads, cereals, meats, cheeses and condiments. Thank you to all the team for their kindness.

We stayed 3 nights and found the hotel to be clean and comfortable, well located, and reasonably priced. We slept quite well on the mattress, and perhaps because of the nice evening chill. Breakfast was included in our rate, and it was plentiful and tasty. One fun and interesting thing available at breakfast is a grain grinder, which freshly grinds grains (wheat, oat, rye and spelt) into a cereal or muesli.

Penzion Berc is a quiet, well-run, friendly family accommodation business just a 5 minute walk away from Lake Bled. On arrival we immediately noticed the well-tended gardens with blooming flowers. It’s a well-oiled machine and all of the staff know what they are doing. We stayed in a Superior Double room which isn't the most luxurious accommodation being a touch rustic but it is keenly priced and clean and offers a very good stay. There was a coffee machine and daily topped up cookies in the room which is a nice touch. The Penzion organised a transfer from Ljubljana airport for us which was helpful. As we were too early to check-in on arrival, they had an area to store our bags whilst we went out an explored the lake. We dined in their restaurant on the Saturday night and I can recommend the tasty Argentinean Ribeye steak and also the tuna steak. The mashed potato was also delicious. The restaurant is closed on a Sunday and they recommended the Old Cellar Bled which was also very good. Breakfast was well run with a good selection of items and set us up for the day of exploring. We used their free electric bikes on Sunday morning and cycled to Radovljica (20km roundtrip). We preferred to walk around the Lake than use the bikes but if you’re short on time then the bikes could be good for that.

Beautiful property. Friendly personable staff. Amazing complimentary breakfast.

Penzion Berc is a warm and cozy place well worth visiting when in Bled. We booked with Luka, and the process was seamless. I learnt Luka and his family have run their family business for decades, and the seamless process from our stay in Penzion and experience in Garni only proves their family's business legacy in excellence. I very much appreciated the immediately warm and cozy family environment and its perfect and "strictly" Slovenian cuisine and hospitality. "Strictly" in a sense that all products this B&B offers are locally and carefully sourced. My husband and I travelled to Bled to experience the lake, ride a pletna boat to visit Church, and experience the town. During our stay, Penzion had all amenities needed to create the best experience to see Bled-- those who worked at Bled were warm and friendly, eBikes were readily available for our stay, and an outstanding breakfast buffet is available every morning (literally the best breakfast during our visit!). The rooms had just the right finishing touches to make the experience memorable-- fresh baked cookies, cold beverages, and a balcony with a view and ambience at par to any Four Seasons or the Ritz!
