In Slovenia, a ''gostisce'' (pronounced something like ''ghos-STISH-cha'') is similar to a gostilna (i.e., a country inn/trattoria), except that it offers beds to those who''d like to sleep off their meal overnight. Their quality varies, but the charming, professionally run Gostisce Barbara is one of Slovenia''s best. Prices are above average for the region, but the interiors are charming, the service is smooth and friendly, and the location can''t be beat - the Barbara is located in a historic building directly above the Anthony mine shaft in the center of town. The nicely appointed downstairs restaurant is just as welcoming and romantic, and a great place to sample the local specialty, zlikrofi (ravioli Slovene-style), along with many other Continental delicacies and a bottle of excellent local wine. Singles and doubles are reasonably priced for the location.
