Penzion Barborka

The food and service were excellent, and both the owner and receptionist were great. We had a lovely spring break in this peaceful, welcoming guesthouse. We'd be happy to return.

Apartment no. 11 is probably the biggest one here, with beds for up to eight people and plenty of room in the living area. The kitchen was clean and well equipped with an oven, dishwasher, microwave, and toaster. There were only four chairs at the dining table, though, so a bigger group would need to take turns. We could park right outside the apartment, which made unloading all our winter gear easy. The P1 ski area parking lot is about 1.2 km away, so you'll need to drive. I'd strongly recommend asking the owner at reception about the benefits of buying ski passes through the guesthouse.

For dinner, we chose from three options at breakfast, usually pork, chicken, or a meatless dish. Soup and salad came before the meal, and dessert afterwards. Breakfast itself had the usual salami, cheese, butter, and sausage, with eggs served on alternating days. We stayed on half board. Breakfast was at the guesthouse, while dinner was at the neighboring hotel Helena. The rooms are older and simply furnished, but they were clean. The lady who looks after cleaning and breakfast was really pleasant, helpful, and happy to offer advice.

We had a satisfying week here in winter. It's not luxurious, but it worked well for a family holiday. You can store your skis and park next to the guesthouse. Breakfast is served on site, with the other meals at the nearby Helena hotel. The ski slope is a short walk away, and Helena can arrange discounted ski rental at Yetti :)
