    The fact that we planned only one night stay. I wish we stayed longer :)

    Dorys (adorable dog) and Guy warmly welcomed us for the checkin. The room is huge and has everything you need to have a pleasant stay: kitchen, private bathroom, books and even games so you can play while drinking the local wine. The space was clean and we loved the decoration. Myself, my husband and our dog would definitely come back!

    Samson and the Lilo offers exactly what it says on the website and more. We stayed there for one night, but both hosts, together with their dog, welcome guests like someone they've known for a while. This energy of theirs coincides with the wonderful place where the accommodation is located. The rooms in which you stay, with certain details, give the impression that the hosts have thought of all our needs while staying with them. And our dog was welcomed with treats and happy faces. We will be back, that's for sure.

    Nothing.

    We came on a Wine Trip to discover Slovenian wines. Situated in a great location, close to several wineries (Vipava Valley) it also has quick access to various tourist spots. We did day trips (40 to 60 minutes) to Ljubljana, Montovun (Croatia), Piran, Predjama Castle… A super stylish 19th-century house, with lovely owners! They are pet-friendly and were very kind to our Giuseppe! Doris, their dog, is adorable and a great companion! They have parking at the back of the house, which is easily accessible and very convenient! There’s a kitchen in the room, which is helpful for those who need to prepare or heat up meals/breakfast! The owners left a basket in the room with fruits, eggs, wine, butter, and bread! Very kind and generous! Private bathroom with a wonderful shower, and high-quality amenities! Fascinating books to read in the room ;) Comfortable bed and a quiet place! We relaxed a lot!!!

    We missed the aircondition and/or mosquito net. The village is a really poor little old village.

    The apartment is uncredible clean and functionally very well furnished. The bath is much more bigger than it looks on the picture. The owners are really frendly and helpful. To climb to the little chapel in the hill is amaizing beautiful.

    Beautiful accommodation. Ideal for relaxing away from the noisy crowd. The room also has a small kitchen where you can prepare a small meal. The hosts also prepared a small snack (also for our dog) for us upon arrival so that we wouldn't be hungry, as there is no grocery shop in the village. Overall, a very hospitable host, always ready to help if you have any questions. We felt very comfortable.

    I find it really hard to start, i would call this a gem. Everything was perfect, the location, the host, the property (perfect mattress - hard!), loved it, super friendly host who helps you with any questions, our doggos loved to play together, we also received little gifts - which mader our day just that little better. If you can, visit this hidden gem inside of small "tuscany" town :)

    Loved every minute of our stay in Goce, at Samson and the Lilo. Guy greeted us with coffee on arrival and provided some helpful tips on what to see and do. The rooms have been beautifully restored with excellent amenities. Fresh coffee, local fruit and wine was provided. An easy ride or drive to access all that the magnificent Vipava valley has to offer.

    Amazing place! Wonderful, helpful and generous hosts. Modern and tasteful interior combined with the old, charming house. Super clean! Perfect location among vineyards of the ancient village. Picturesque views and not far off from the freeway. Perfect not only for one night stop over, but also for a longer stay. Extra points for sweet Doris who became best friend of our dog.

    Just a factor of location, but be aware that the church across the street has very active bells!

    The room was simple but perfect for what we needed. A studio with a private but not attached bathroom.

    Polona, Guy, and their sweet pup Doris make the experience! Have a chat with them, they're wonderful and easygoing. Place was easy to find (just look for the turquoise green shutters!), very clean, parking off the street, decent wifi, little kitchenette that's perfect for making simple meals, fun colors and decor, room and bathroom warm in the winter. Great place for a stop over, or as a homebase for exploring the vipava valley. Would love to come back when the weather is better!

    The only thing I would say, which was the fault of my partner and I, not Samson and the Lilo, is that a car is necessary for this area.

    Both Guy and Paloma were so kind and generous, giving my partner and I rides, wonderful recommendations, and lots of time with their dog, Doris. Would recommend this spot to anyone who is interested in the area.
