About Us

Meet Notranjska hiša, the Inner Carniolan House, the village of Selšček and our work team.

Genuine experience in the village of Inner Carniola.

In the authentic traditional Inner Carniolan House with a wood-burning stove, brick oven, a sideboard, pattern-painted walls and old objects we make sure you enjoy your special vacation by experiencing simple, sometimes forgotten things, i.e. eating cornmeal or potato mush with a wooden spoon, sleeping in a room with old furniture, eating home-made bread and tasting home-made salami sausages, you can also enjoy camping by the fire, observe horses or even try horse-riding, sleep in a wooden cabin and bathe in a nearby stream. The surroundings of the vast uninhabited meadows at the edge of the forests conjure up contact with nature, where you don't need anything.

The village of Gaspari

Selšček is widely popular as the village of Gaspari, the birth village of the painter Maksim Gaspari. There is a bust of the painter located in the village centre and houses boast with motives of the Gaspari's postcards and written house names instead of classic house numbers. In 2020 the village received an award of the Tourist Association of Slovenia for the best village centre.

Our team

Nataša Mele

A local tourist guide connecting Loška dolina, Cerknica and Menišija.

We are a family team - mother, father, brother, husband and the children and we are happy to receive every new guest. Our mom helps attending guests, I organize things and I am also a local tourist guide. I enjoy presenting our village, where a Slovenian painter Maksim Gaspari was born and also tell you a little story about our house and its renovation. I also enjoy taking my guests around and show them something that cannot be found on the internet; for example, hidden places along with tourist attractions in the area worth visiting and exploring.

I make sure the guests experience special, unconventional vacation by enjoying simple things and they are also kindly invited to make their own suggestions as to what they would like to see or experience. We will also visit the amazing Cerknica Lake, which is intermittent, and enjoy canoeing by listening to a lake story about a forbidden love between a girl from Karlovica and a boy from Šteberk, ascend the witch mountain Slivnica and visit one of the most beautiful castles in Slovenia, the white Castle of Snežnik, covered in an array of colours during the Floating Castle Festival in summer.
