Can a child come with us?
The villas are intended for both families and couples with children. Considering that there are water fairies on the lake, you need to be careful with children. In the water villas, there are also extra beds in addition to the double bed. We provide guests with peace and quiet.
Do you have a 24 hour reception?
At Pikol, we are family tourism and do not provide a 24-hour reception. We do not live on the property, so please let us know the approximate time of arrival a day or two before your arrival. Please keep to the agreed hours, or notify us of the change at info@pikol.si or at +386 5 333 45 23. Access to the houses is regulated by numerical codes (we do not have keys) chosen especially for you, which you already receive before arrival. With the code you received, you can access your chosen house at any time. If we're not there, use the phone.
When is check-in and when is check-out?
On the day of arrival, the cottage will be ready for you from 2 p.m. onwards. Arrivals are preferred by 5 p.m. In case of later arrivals, please inform us. Departures are until 10am. Please stick to the schedule unless we agree otherwise.
When do we pay and what credit cards do you accept?
You pay upon arrival or departure. We accept all credit cards except American Express and Diners Club.
How does the reservation work?
You can send your inquiry via the online form, by e-mail or by calling us. We will answer you as soon as possible. You reserve the cottage definitively by entrusting us with your credit card details (this is only for a guarantee, you pay the full amount upon departure) or we send you a proforma invoice by email and you pay the deposit. You pay the rest upon departure or arrival
What about the terms of cancellation?
To review the cancellation conditions of the village, we invite you to view the general terms and conditions of business.
What if the weather is capricious?
"Bad weather"? Listening to the rain is something magical on Pikol. Storms through the glazed walls are admirable. If there is a cloud over the house, you will have breakfast under a cloud, which is also something different, right? Otherwise, on rainy days, we recommend massages, which you can visit at SPA Perla in Nova Gorica, a good book, a visit to the Gorizia Museum or, with a little extra effort, a visit to Miramar Castle on the Italian side. On rainy days, even just a simple panoramic drive in a car through the hills of Briška is the most beautiful thing.
