Frequently asked questions

Is Slovakia good for a family holiday?

Yes. Slovakia is compact, safe and full of nature, thermal parks, caves, castles, lakes and mountain activities suitable for families with children of all ages. It also offers great value for money compared to more popular Western European destinations.

Do we need a car?

For a 7–14 day family holiday, we recommend travelling by car. Drevenice Liptov is a peaceful rural resort and having a car gives you the freedom to explore Liptov and beyond on your own schedule. Free parking is included.

Is the accommodation suitable for small children?

Yes. Drevenice Liptov is baby & kids friendly and practical baby equipment — cot, high chair, baby bath, potty, bottle warmer, steriliser and more — is available on request. The outdoor area is safe and private, with a playground on site.

Can we cook in the apartment?

Yes. Every apartment has a fully equipped kitchen with a dining area — ideal for longer family stays. You can cook whenever you like, which makes a big difference when travelling with young children. There is also a barbecue area outside.

Is it better in summer or winter?

Both seasons work very well. Summer is ideal for lakes, hiking, cycling and aquaparks. Winter is ideal for skiing at Jasná, sledging, thermal pools and wellness. The aquaparks and caves are open year-round, so rainy or cold days are never a problem.

How long should we stay?

Most families can comfortably fill 7 days with things to do in Liptov alone. For families who want to explore more of Slovakia — the High Tatras, castles or Slovak Paradise — 10–14 days is ideal. The apartments are great for longer stays: you have a full kitchen, space, and privacy.
