    Description

    Hello, and thank you for your interest in joining us!

    My name is Barbara, and together with my family, I manage the place, a charming and historic guesthouse in Bled. Our villa has been welcoming guests for over 70 years, and we take great pride in offering warm hospitality, clean and comfortable rooms, and homemade breakfasts that start the day with a smile.

    We are looking for a reliable and friendly person to help us with room cleaning, breakfast preparation, and garden maintenance. Our work environment is warm, respectful, and focused on quality — we truly care about both our guests and our team.

    The place is located in Bled, one of the most beautiful destinations in Slovenia, known for its picturesque lake, iconic island, and fairy-tale castle. In the summer, you can enjoy swimming in the lake, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing by the shore. For nature lovers and adventure seekers, there are countless opportunities for hiking, cycling, canyoning, and exploring the nearby Vintgar Gorge and Triglav National Park.

    Living and working in Bled means being surrounded by natural beauty and having the chance to enjoy outdoor activities in your free time — it’s a truly inspiring place to be!

    If you enjoy working with people, take pride in keeping things tidy and organized, and love the smell of fresh coffee in the morning, we’d love to hear from you!
