Slovenia Stays

Hi,
We are Joe and Henrietta and have been travelling UK and Europe from Australia, now for 3 mths on our overloaded Bonneville. Making our way down to Malta to spend the winter there from mid November(if this sounds familiar it's because have posted before for different bits of advice) Anyway been through central Europe and presently in Salzburg for a few days and plan to go into Slovenia next. We have been camping and airbnb and would like some advice on where to go in Slovenia, our plan is to get a self contained unit for a week to get a bit of a break. Would like somewhere a bit out of the way quiet and nice scenery (not too touristy), hopefully also a bit more credit card friendly.
Thanks
J & H

Soca Valley, Mount Mangart, the short stretch of the beach.

Also there is a very nice small hotel in the middle of the woods in small mountains where you can eat steak from the bears ( one of the few places where this is legal ) and the owner is a really good cook
The place is called Gosilne Erika in MASUN

Triglav National Park is right on the northwestern border, and quite beautiful.

Thanks for all the replies, making list to research them, especially about weather in the mountainous regions. Bear steak sounds interesting, but worked many years as a zoo keeper and looked after the bears for a good part of that time, so not sure I would be keen to eat one! Looking at a B&B in Cerkno,as well as camping in Trigav National Park.

The guy in the hotel loves bears and has a lot of respect, but in this area here are so many of them that they have to do something about.

And he still treats this with respect.
