Four houses on the same nine kilometres of river.

Ana & Jakob Rutar

Welcome to the sanctuary of Bela Voda.

“We are a family rather than a management company.”

Slow Hospitality · Since 1964

Uninterrupted stewardship of the Soča riverfront for over three generations.

Our grandparents built the first of these houses in 1964, close enough to the water to hear it with the windows shut. Three more followed, and we have spent the years since restoring them slowly and letting them ourselves.

We are a family rather than a management company. Between the four houses there are twenty-two beds, one very old dog, and a woodpile that gets restacked every October whether it needs it or not.

Architectural Residences

The Four Houses

Each cabin is restored using salvaged alpine larch, local river limestone, and raw wool insulation.

The Valley

The Soča really is that colour.

“It comes off the snowfields of Triglav and does not warm up much on the way down — eight degrees in August, and clear enough to count the stones. Rafting and kayaking from April, the gorges and the Walk of Peace all year, Kanin turning from December. Every house is within twenty minutes of the water, and two of them within four.”

April — October

Rafting & Kayak

Technical rapids through the Great Soča Gorges, guided float runs, and world-class marble trout fly-fishing immediately in front of the lodges.

All Year Long

Gorges & Walk of Peace

Centuries of alpine history, limestone footbridges, and quiet forested trails that connect the Julian ridge lines right down to our doorstep.

December — April

Kanin Snowfields

High-altitude skiing with panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea on clear winter days, returning to roaring woodstoves and dry beech logs.

Peak altitude: 2,292 m
