Welcome to the Drava Valley. Set in the small enchanting country of Slovenia to the East of the Alps bordering Italy, and surrounded by Hungary, Austria and Croatia, it is the ideal place to use as a base for trips around Europe or just to relax. It is also the ideal place to stop for a short break if you are visiting Italy or Eastern Europe by car during the summer (May to September inclusive).
Explore the beautiful Drava Valley meandering through Koroška, either on foot or by bicycle. Relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery, drop into a local bar for coffee and local wine, where a glass of wine will set you back 70 cents! De-stress as you explore the peaceful foothills of the Pohorje mountain range which reaches from Slovenia`s second largest city, Maribor, all the way to Slovenj Gradec, the ancient capital of Koroška.
Mandlovo, an old arable farm, is situated in the heart of the valley on the banks of the River Drava and on the new Austria/Slovenia Cycle Path, halfway between the villages of Podvelka and Vuhred, and offers a relaxing, affordable opportunity to get away from the stresses and strains of modern life, or a peaceful hideaway for a romantic break.
