Everyone over 18 (including those currently 17 who’ll be 18 later this year) with permanent residency in Slovenia will soon be able to claim their €200 tourist voucher (turistični boni), while minors will get €50. These can be used to pay for accommodation, and will be claimed by giving your Slovenian tax number to the provider (at least for the adults – it’s unclear, as yet, how the children will get theirs).
The money can be used any time until the end of the year and at any businesses registered under the following categories:
- 55.100 - Hotels and other similar accommodation
- 55.201 - Holiday homes and resorts
- 55.202 - Tourist farms with rooms
- 55.203 - Renting private rooms to guests
- 55.204 - Mountain lodges and youth hostels
- 55.209 - Other short-term accommodation
- 55.300 - Camping activities
I’m going to the coast, to rent a small apartment with a balcony and short walk to the water, where I intend to do nothing, but what follows are five rental properties from Think Slovenia further inland to consider. Note that there are multiweek discounts on most properties, and corona-friendly booking conditions on most, too (15% payable to book, 85% 1 week before arrival).
