Milka is a unique boutique experience in the heart of the Julian Alps. This pristine Alpine backdrop was an opportunity for the team of enthusiastic young professionals to take on the challenge of creating and sharing the finest encounter with Slovene cuisine & culture.

Our collective experiences have been harnessed around the world and are expressed through our unique take on design, gastronomy & service.

We are eagerly waiting to share our story with you.

Welcome to Milka

Boutique Hotel

Home away from home

Our hotel is true to world’s boutique standards: every room is uniquely designed, with sumptuous comfort & unparalleled service in an Alpine setting, a small fine dining restaurant with lunch & dinner service and a private sauna for two.

Guest comfort for us is like hosting family and friends. This means you can switch off and we will switch on for you. We would love Milka to be your refuge away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

CHEF DAVID ŽEFRAN

Regional culinary EXPERIENCE

Inspiration for our food took root in the local environment. A lot of thought went into designing each dish, to ensure every bite is a delectable memory.

How our guests experienced their stay at Milka

OUR GUESTS SAY IT BEST

I had the luxury of staying at Boutique Hotel Milka for an entire week during a conference in Kranska Gora. From the hotel it was easy to walk to town (15-20 minutes) along the paved sidewalk next to the road or using the trail next to the river. Between the gorgeous rooms (with spectacular views), the attentive staff, and amazing breakfasts, I would return to Slovenia just to stay here again.

Boutique Hotelu Milka sem si privoščil razkošje bivanja cel teden med konferenco v Kranski Gori. Od hotela je bilo enostavno hoditi do mesta (15-20 minut) po asfaltiranem pločniku ob cesti ali po poti ob reki. Zaradi čudovite sobe (s spektakularnimi razgledi), pozornega osebja in neverjetnih zajtrkob bi se vrnil v Slovenijo, samo da bi spet bival tukaj.

Dopo aver provato il ristorante un mese fa ed esserne rimasti entusiasti, incuriositi dall’hotel abbiamo deciso di soggiornarvi un weekend. Abbiamo pernottato nella Rock Suite e posso affermare senza alcuna ombra di dubbio che sia la camera più bella, curata ed emozionante in cui siamo mai stati. Non c’era una cosa fuori posto, il servizio è stato eccellente e le ragazze alla reception super gentili. Se lo consiglio? Lo renderei obbligatorio come esperienza nella vita! Grazie di tutto

Potem ko smo pred mesecem poskusili restavracijo in bili nad njo navdušeni, nas je zanimal hotel, smo se odločili, da ostanemo tam za vikend. Bivali smo v apartmaju Rock in brez kančka dvoma lahko rečem, da je to najlepša, urejena in najbolj razburljiva soba, v kateri smo kadarkoli bivali. Vse je bilo na mestu, postrežba je bila odlična in dekleta na recepciji super prijazna. Ga priporočam? Jaz bi to naredil kot obvezno izkušnjo v življenju! Hvala za vse

After trying the restaurant a month ago and being enthusiastic about it, intrigued by the hotel we decided to stay there for a weekend. We stayed in the Rock Suite and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that it is the most beautiful, well-kept and exciting room we have ever stayed in. There wasn’t a thing out of place, the service was excellent and the girls at the reception were super nice. Do I recommend it? I would make it mandatory as an experience in life! Thanks for everything

Izjemna izkušnja že od samega prihoda v hotel. Soba je imela čaroben razgled na jezero, a je omogočala tudi vso potrebno romantično intimnost. Še posebej čudovita je bila desethodna večerja, ki je navduševala s kombinacijami okusov in tekstur od začetnih pozdravov iz kuhinje do sladice, ki je obudila spomin na otroške zajtrke.

An exceptional experience from the very moment of arrival at the hotel. The room had a magical view of the lake, but also allowed for all the necessary romantic intimacy. The ten-course dinner was especially wonderful, which delighted with the combinations of flavours and textures from the initial greetings from the kitchen to the dessert, which brought back the memory of childhood breakfasts.

We stayed at Milka while traveling around Slovenia on our honeymoon, and the stay couldn’t have been better. The boutique hotel is beautiful and very well appointed, the view of the Julian Alps is stunning and the proximity to both Kranjska Gora and Triglav for the national park and the Vrsic pass is unbeatable. Eating at Milka is an incredible experience and with them receiving their second Michelin Star I have no doubt a stay at Milka has become a destination point itself!

Med potovanjem po Sloveniji na medenih tednih sva bivala v Milki in bivanje ne bi moglo biti boljše. Butični hotel je lep in zelo dobro urejen, pogled na Julijske Alpe je osupljiv, bližina Kranjske Gore in Triglava za narodni park in prelaz Vršič pa je neprekosljiva. Jesti v Milki je neverjetna izkušnja in ko so prejeli svojo drugo Michelinovo zvezdico, ne dvomim, da je bivanje v Milki postalo ciljna točka!

Amazing hotel, lovely staff! One of my favourite hotels I’ve stayed in. Cant wait to return with some friends/family and enjoy more of the experiences the hotel has to offer!

Čudovit hotel, prijazno osebje! Eden mojih najljubših hotelov, v katerem sem bival. Komaj čakam, da se vrnem s prijatelji/družino in uživam v dodatnih izkušnjah, ki jih hotel ponuja!

It was outstanding in ALL areas. We have never been to a boutique hotel with such amazing attention to detail. The owner and staff were exceptional. The room, the food, location – every single detail. The Michelin Star restaurant experience was incredible. One afternoon we got to enjoy “Sip and Savor” on their terrace looking out at the Julian Alps, with specially crafted cocktails. Highly recommend this hotel and we will be coming back.

Bilo je izjemno na VSEH področjih. Še nikoli nismo bili v butičnem hotelu s tako neverjetno pozornostjo do podrobnosti. Lastniki in osebje so bili izjemni. Soba, hrana, lokacija – vsaka podrobnost. Izkušnja restavracije z Michelinovo zvezdico je bila neverjetna. Nekega popoldneva smo uživali v »Sip and Savor« na njihovi terasi s pogledom na Julijske Alpe, s posebej izdelanimi koktajli. Toplo priporočam ta hotel in še se bomo vrnili.

A truly fantastic stay with service, F&B and room hardware delivered to the very highest international standard, in a truly privileged and spectacular setting. It’s hard to think what more you could ask for in a luxury boutique hotel!

Resnično fantastično bivanje s storitvami, hrano in pijačo ter sobno strojno opremo, ki je na voljo po najvišjih mednarodnih standardih, v resnično privilegiranem in spektakularnem okolju. Težko si je zamisliti, kaj več bi si lahko želeli od luksuznega butičnega hotela!

As a well travelled person, i can say: this is one of the best and nicest hotels I have ever stayed in! The garden suite was amazing (zen terrace and jacuzzi) and the views are spectacular! But what really made a difference was the very attentive and truly welcoming staff! So friendly and genuine!
Cannot recommend this place enough!

Kot oseba, ki je veliko potovala, lahko rečem: to je eden najboljših in najlepših hotelov, v katerih sem kdaj bivala! Garden suita je bila neverjetna (zen terasa in jacuzzi) in razgledi so spektakularni! Toda tisto, kar je resnično naredilo razliko, je bilo zelo pozorno in resnično prijazno osebje! Tako prijazni in pristni!
Tega hotela ne morem dovolj priporočiti!

Milka is as beautiful, friendly, comfortable, cozy and homy as a little boutique hotel/restaurant can get. A true gem in Slovenia with feel-good-rooms and immaculate service. The restaurant fully deserves the Michelin stars and the overall quality of the kitchen under Chef David Žefran surpasses any Michelin evaluation. Not only the striking dinner menu with regionally sourced ingredients but also the breakfast of the hotel served by the same kitchen is a proof. Their breakfast omelette with herbs was the very best we had anywhere. It looks like a detail but it is a profound sign of the degree of love, ethics and perfection a restaurant nourishes in its métier.

Milka je tako lepa, prijazna, udobna, prijetna in domača, kot jo lahko dobi majhen butični hotel/restavracija. Pravi biser v Sloveniji s sobami za dobro počutje in brezhibno postrežbo. Restavracija si popolnoma zasluži Michelinove zvezdice in splošna kakovost kuhinje pod vodstvom chefa Davida Žefrana presega vse Michelinove ocene. Dokaz ni le osupljiv večerni meni z regionalnimi sestavinami, ampak tudi hotelski zajtrk, ki ga streže ista kuhinja. Njihova omleta za zajtrk z zelišči je bila najboljša, kar smo jih kjerkoli jedli. Videti je kot detajl, vendar je globok znak stopnje ljubezni, etike in popolnosti, ki jo restavracija neguje v svojem poslu.

The hotel is designed to perfection with thought put into every last detail. The staff is warm, engaging, and personable and all seem to very much enjoy their jobs. The restaurant is exceptional by global standards and is worth a special trip itself.

Hotel je zasnovan do popolnosti s premislekom v vsaki podrobnosti. Osebje je toplo in prijazno in zdi se, da vsi zelo uživajo v svojem delu. Restavracija je izjemna po svetovnih merilih in vredna posebnega izleta že sama po sebi.

Jasna Lake

Not just another Alpine Lake

Boutique Hotel and Restaurant Milka is located by Lake Jasna. It is one of those picturesque lakes every Slovenian holds dear. Lake Jasna lies in the foothills of our most prominent alpine pass, drenched in history, while offering amazing vistas in whichever direction you happen to go.

In every weather and all seasons, the scenery is so dreamy it inspired our visual creators to incorporate its colours and the elements in our overall graphic interpretation.

Kranjska Gora is our closest social hub and crossroads to interior Slovenia, Austria and Italy, where you can continue exploring the alpine activities or gourmet explorations of the wider area.

alpine boutique

DESIGN & Architecture

Our approach is to be responsible to the environment, our surroundings and the people we work with. In this spirit, our architectural goal was to portray the scenery of the Alpine area inside our hotel & restaurant as well.

Interior design had to answer the alpine character of the architecture, resulting in a snug blend of elements.

The hallmark of our endeavour was including local artisans to further enhance the regional Slovene presence as a final touch to the entire project.

active lifestyle year-round

flexibilty of choice

The mountain playground that surrounds us is vast. We are very passionate about an active lifestyle and fortunate to have this potential at our doorstep all year round. Sharing this passion with our visitors is one of our missions, so we combined forces with the best in the industry to provide you with a bespoke service for exploring our surroundings.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

 

The fact that we are in this breathtakingly preserved environment shows the care of previous generations. Our task is to keep up the good work for those who come after us. Thus the care for people and the planet goes beyond just an idea.

Emphasis was put on proximity. The crossroads between the Alps and the Mediterranean means we live in a region full of creative minds and ample options we could look to. Here are a few examples:

  • Food & Wine: Quality is never jeopardised. Regionality and diversity is the name of the game. We source all our items from within the 100km radius of our property, some ingredients even come from nearby farms only a few minutes away.
  • Water: Slovenia is known for its water quality and there is no match to the one that comes to the surface in the Alps. We wanted to minimise the impact of transported and bottled water because we have the luxury of being near a good source.
  • Room Amenities: All our cosmetics are animal friendly and hand-made in Slovenia from carefully chosen natural ingredients. Check out our recycled slippers, too. Both are products that speak quality, and which people love taking home and using again. And again.

We are proud of these endeavours. We are aware that responsibility does not end there, but continues to be our guiding principle for everything we are yet to do.
