Our
Story
The story of this place begins long before the house itself. The village of Vrsno first appears in the Tolmin land register in 1377, while local tradition traces its beginnings to a man who came here from the neighboring village of Krn. His five sons later built homes nearby, forming the beginnings of the settlement.
The eldest son was Jure, and his home became known as "Pr Jurc", roughly, “at Jure’s.” That is our house. The house name is still used in the village today, just as many of the old house names have been passed down through generations. Over time, more families arrived and new homes were built, gradually forming the village that stands here today.
The house as we know it has been here since 1920. When we bought it, it had been abandoned for decades, overgrown with ivy and partly collapsed.
We took it on as a family. Most of the work was done by hand, with help from parents and relatives who rebuilt it piece by piece. What started as a ruin became a home again over the course of a year.
The structure was kept as it was, with stone on the ground floor and wood in the loft, and wherever possible we worked with what was already there. Even the old barn stone walls with a vine were left in place and turned into a courtyard.
We live here as well and run the place ourselves. The idea was never to create a stopover, but something more personal that keeps its character, so guests can settle in naturally from the moment they arrive.
