More about the hotel

Rikli concept of well-being

In mid-19th century, healer Arnold Rikli turned Bled into a progressive health resort. He focused on the town’s natural properties – the fresh air, the water, and the sunshine – for better well-being. He encouraged plenty of exercise in the fresh air, high-quality vegetarian food in moderation and refreshing sleep. You can follow Rikli’s health programme during your stay. Living the Rikli lifestyle means getting up before sunrise, drinking fresh Bled water on an empty stomach, walking barefoot in the meadows covered with morning dew, enjoying light meals, swimming, sunbathing, and taking lots of walks in the fresh Alpine air. In Živa Wellness Centre you can also discover treatments adapted to Rikli’s methods of healing.

The opinions of our guests

Neaty18, Coral Springs, Florida
Beautiful Hotel in Stunning Location
We were one day late in arriving to Bled and our original hotel was sold out for the next day. The people at Sava Hotels were extremely helpful and found us a room at Golf Hotel without charging us for the missed night. The staff at Golf were very welcoming. Our recently renovated room was beautiful. The balcony was big and offered stunning views of Lake Bled and the castle. The breakfast had a great variety that kept us full for a busy day around the Bled area.
SUVG, Boston, MA
Fabulous. Ask for room 227
We are a family of four and spent two days / 3 nights in Bled. We all loved this hotel. From the moment we checked in, we were made feel very welcome and our room, with a lake view and wrap around terrace was stunning. To sit on the terrace at night and see the castle and lake lit up is something I will always remember. The lake is a 5 minute walk away and certainly not an inconvenience. The pool is fabulous. Large water slide for the kids and many, many hot tubs. Breakfast was included. It was good, not great. We had dinner one night at the hotel. Not the best but convenient given the fact that it was pouring rain. We would stay here again for sure.

The View.. and the pools!
This hotel is Everything! The views from the dining/breakfast room are to die for. The rooms are modern and tastefully furnished, but it's the proximity to the magnificent lake Bled that is the draw. There are multiple outdoor/indoor pools that all have unobstructed views of the lake and let's not forget to mention the fun water slide into the pool. The hot spring pools are kept warm (not hot), but they still feel really good after a long day walking and sightseeing, so don't forget to bring your bathing suit.
“Great place to stay!”
Negative: Absolutely nothing. Positive: Hotel Golf had the best lake view of all the hotels! Very clean, and an AMAZING pool area with a slide. Our room was very cozy.
Judit, Hungary
Izjemno
Rooms were beautifully renovated! We had a large balcony with lake view. Children loved slopes in wellness area.
