From Dream to Reality: The Journey Behind the Wellba brand
The story began when we stumbled upon a hidden gem in the heart of the Vipava Valley – a charming homestead that, despite its weathered appearance, exuded a unique sense of history and character. We were instantly captivated by its potential and the stories etched into its walls. What began as a simple discovery quickly evolved into a passionate project that would consume our time, energy, and hearts. Our mission was clear: to breathe new life into this historic homestead, transforming it into a boutique accommodation that not only honors its rich architectural heritage but also offers a serene retreat for those seeking the tranquil beauty of the Vipava Valley.
A Labor of Love
The journey to realizing our vision was anything but simple. It was a labor of love that required meticulous planning, countless hours of work, and an unwavering commitment to preserving the homestead’s authentic character. Every decision we made, from the materials we chose to the layout of the spaces, was guided by a deep respect for the cultural heritage of the region. We worked closely with local craftsmen and architects who shared our vision, ensuring that every renovation was done with care and precision. The result is a seamless blend of old and new—a space that retains the soul of the original homestead while offering all the modern comforts of a boutique accommodation.
A Reflection of Our Passions
Our love for travel and design played a significant role in shaping the homestead into what it is today. Having explored many parts of the world, we’ve always been drawn to places that offer more than just a place to stay—those that provide a true sense of connection to the local culture and environment. We wanted to bring that same experience to our guests. By incorporating elements of the region’s natural beauty, using locally sourced materials, and creating spaces that invite relaxation and reflection, we’ve crafted an environment that mirrors our personal passions and values.
A Serene Getaway in the Vipava Valley
Today, the Planina Homestead and other accommodations in our portfolio stands as a testament to our journey and the realization of a dream we’ve long held. It’s a place where guests can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of the Vipava Valley. Whether it’s enjoying a glass of wine on the terrace as the sun sets over the vineyards, exploring the nearby forests, or simply unwinding in the thoughtfully designed spaces of the homestead, we’ve created a retreat that offers not just accommodation, but an experience.
Sharing Our Dream with Others
What brings us the most joy is the opportunity to share this special place with others. Every guest who stays at our accommodations becomes part of the story, adding their own memories to the rich tapestry of this historic property. We take pride in offering personalized hospitality, ensuring that each visitor feels at home and leaves with a deep appreciation for the Vipava Valley’s unique charm.
As we continue to welcome travelers from around the world, we remain dedicated to preserving the essence of our accommodations – places where history, culture, and natural beauty converge to create a truly unforgettable experience.

Welcome!
Embracing the curves of Wellness and being.
In the Vipava Valley, our accommodations embody the essence of wellness through their unique curved architecture, a tribute to traditional Slovenian design. Each curve represents a step in the journey towards holistic well-being, offering a serene space for guests to embrace their own paths to health and happiness. This also reassembles the name of Wellba – in Slovenian language “dva velba” which corresponds to the arches found all over our accommodations and transforming your life into “Well-being”.
