Luxury treehouses, an idyllic location and as much chocolate you can eat! Welcome to the Chocolate Village glamping resort.
The glamping lodges are named after the three types of cocoa – Forastero, Criollo and Trinitario – and guests are given a welcome pack containing a bar of chocolate made from the cocoa matching their room type. There are chocolate samples from the factory on the reception desk to get you in the mood for your stay – plus more in the lodges so you won’t go hungry.
The accommodation ranges from snug two-person structures in treetops to larger four-person lodges with private hot tubs and fires. Every lodge has a view of the Drava River with floor-to-ceiling windows and its own outdoor seating area, so expect to wake up watching swans, herons and ducks.
In the centre of the resort is the gourmet cellar where you can taste local wine and delicacies. If you need more sweet treats there’s Teta Frida's Chocolate Cafe with 100% natural desserts and ice cream. The natural swimming pool isn’t chocolate-filled but is perfect to relax after a hard day tasting chocolate and drinking wine.
For winter stays, the site is 5km away from the largest ski resort in Slovenia, Mariborsko Pohorje, while for stays in warmer weather, it’s on the Drava cycling route (which runs through Italy, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia) and a short distance from the Pohorje bike park.
As is common in Slovenia, eco-credentials are a top priority. The breakfast items delivered to your lodge are in reusable glass containers, all toiletries are full-sized and refillable, and bins in lodges are made of grass.
