This is part from the interior of the Castle Otocec Hotel, I took it while I was visiting the Castle and the river island, because that is the place where it is sitiated. Otok = island, so the root of the name is from the location of the Castle.

Welcome to the Otočec Hotels!
This gem of a castle lies in the beautiful region of Dolenjska - the ‘green heart' of Slovenia - famed for its beautiful rivers, valleys, pastures, forests and vineyards, and is situated only a stone's throw from the town of Novo Mesto and its nearby sister hotel at Šmarješke Toplice.
Its varied and rich history dates back eight centuries. It started life as a fortress protecting the area from the many attackers who tried to conquer this part of Slovenia, and over the years it has also served as a safe and romantic home to numerous noble families.
However, following its extensive refurbishment and conversion to an exceptionally high-quality five star hotel, Castle Otočec is now more beautiful, richer and romantic than at any time in its history, enjoying its unique position on a small island nestling in the middle of the beautiful river Krka.
As well as learning about its history and unique architecture, guests and visitors can also enjoy the ambience and delights of the Otočec Restaurant, which offers top quality cuisine, local specialities, and an extensive wine list. The castle is also the perfect setting for special events such as weddings, civil ceremonies, parties, anniversaries, special events and themed parties - a romantic dinner served by staff in medieval clothes could be something you will never forget. Castle Otočec is also an impressive setting for business meetings. There is also dancing at the Tango Restaurant and gaming opportunities in the casino of the Šport Hotel.
The charming surroundings enable guests to relax and recuperate in style and luxury amidst one of the most beautiful parts of Slovenia. It is an opportunity not to be missed.
Castle Otočec also forms part of a complex of hotels and villas that are suitable for conferences, business seminars and recreation. Located just a two minutes walk away from Castle Otocec is Šport Hotel, which offers all the facilities needed for events and conferences such as seminar rooms, a modern sports-recreation centre including a fitness studio, saunas, massage pool, tennis courts and a multi-purpose baseball, handball and volleyball court.
Otočec - and its surroundings is also the right setting for a round of golf. For golfing fans we currently offer a nine hole course, which will soon be developed into an 18-hole course, offering golf enthusiasts a pleasant day on the greens.
The nearby Krka river, with its many rapids and cascades upstream of the castle offers opportunities for rafting. While the calm waters downstream offer opportunities for leisurely boating or fishing. You are also cordially invited to enjoy the bathing and various spa treatments at the nearby Šmarješke Toplice and Dolenjske Toplice Spa hotels. |
