Europe’s hottest property secret?

Slovenia has come a long way since it broke free from the shackles of Yugoslavia in 1991…

With some of the continent’s most dramatic mountain scenery, a stretch of balmy Adriatic Coast and prices that are favourable when compared to the UK, Slovenia offers a compelling cocktail, claims SloveniaEstates.com.

It may not yet be hitting the property headlines that its neighbour Croatia has been grabbing, but this little unspoilt gem has plenty to recommend it, with sweeping Alpine peaks in the north giving way to lush plains in the east and a slice of Mediterranean living in the south.

Within a couple of hours you can go from skiing at high altitude to relaxing as you savour a fresh seafood platter and soak up the sea views. This ‘Europe in Miniature’ has something to suit everyone, from adrenaline sports in pristine scenery and gastronomic feasts on the country’s plentiful organic produce to quality domestic wines and bountiful health spas.

Buying property in Slovenia has become easier since EU membership and the recent introduction of the euro means that the process is even more transparent, as you don’t have to worry about making tricky currency exchange calculations.
