Hotel Maestoso - Lipica

Beautiful hotel with a great horse themed room. We really enjoyed the calm night and the proximity to the stud farm which can be visited first thing in the morning. From the balcony we even spotted the stars. Breakfast was good as well. Parking is free for hotel guests.

Beautiful wish we could have stayed for more than one night. The room we stayed in was a suite and it was spacious and just beautiful wish we had more time. Will definitely would come back as there are opening a gym and it looks like there are improvements going on to add to an already great place

Horses, golf, e-Bikes, excellent walking trails, and dinner in Italy only 20 minutes away. We stayed here 3 nights and loved it; especially having the horses next door to pet. Staff very friendly and eager to please. Room with balcony was worth the extra cost.

I have been to a lot of hotels but this one really made an impact to me. It is placed on a outstanding location, surrounded by breathaking nature and world known horses Lipicaner with its tradition dating back to 1580. Guys from Enota architect studio Ljubljana can really be proud of themselves because they made sure than every last detail is in its place. Maestoso offers a really original and unique true brand experience everbody should experience. Even tought it might be young or unexperienced regarding its traditions, believe me, you will surely remember your stay in this wonderfull hotel. P.S. Shower heads are the most original thing ever. They are designed as brushes for horses. + true brand experience, very eco and cell phone friendly, original design, minimum food waste, nice location, friendly staff, payed attention to every single detail, charging plugs for mobile in bed frame. !+! GYM IN THE ROOM - no minibar in rooms, questionable functionality of room, limited food selection for breakfast, sharp bed frames, no privacy on terace, sufficent cleaning and hygiene level but not up to standards this hotel deserves.

The location is very pleasant, provided you have a car; otherwise it would be hard to get to. The design of the rooms and the communal areas is nice, apart from the low level of lighting in the rooms. In our room that was in part because some of the light bulbs were missing, so be careful not to electrocute yourself when trying to turn each one of them on by its individual switch. I recommend checking with the hotel in advance whether there will be 200 school children staying when you plan to visit. They will be up all night shouting from their balconies. I imagine this could be less of a problem if the hotel fixed its drainage system so you didn’t have to leave the door to your balcony open to let the smell out. As other reviews have said, bar and restaurant service is slow and forgetful. The food is good.

At first this Hotel was impressive, modern architecture, wide indoor halls, spacious room, beautiful green areas for the horses. Beautiful, just take a look at the pictures. The service at the reception was excellent at check in and check out. But then in the evening we discovered a real lack of light in the rooms. Perhaps the designer/architect thought it would give an intimate ambiance, but actually it was dark and ... somehow kind of depressing. The location is not optimal and you need a car of course or be part of an organized tour. But the reason for the 3 star rating was the service at the dining room. Don't get me wrong, the food was really good but the service there was not at the same level than at the reception. Quickly enough the buffet got empty and trying to have the plates refilled was met by an almost hostile reaction from the staff. Pity!
