The Hiša Franko inn has a lot of history, including a legend saying Ernest Hemingway was treated here during the war when the house was a hospital. In one of the rooms overlooking the courtyard, he was writing his famous novel “Farwell to the arms”. During the course of time, Hiša Franko was a roadside inn, a village mill, a big countryside estate, and a hospital during the First World War. Nowadays, this huge estate is simply Hiša Franko. A place where you will feel at home. The surrounding Soča valley is a true paradise destination. In this valley you will find turquoise waters, warm pools of the Nadiža river, almost tropical forests, and flower-covered pastures. The area offers many outdoor activities here, such as hiking, mountain biking, hunting and fishing (fly fishing), paragliding, rafting, canyoning and much more.

This former rural inn from the 19th century offers guests 10 modern double rooms. The rooms were added to the house later, intended for restaurant guests who did not feel like driving home after a long wining & dining experience. The double rooms are all equipped with a private bathroom with a shower, and 2 of them have a spa bath. Breakfast includes fresh fruits and homemade granolas and biscuits as well as some delicacies you can order à la carte.
