The country was formerly part of Yugoslavia but since 1991 has existed as an independent nation. Carniola is in Western Slovenia and is northeast of the Adriatic Sea. A holiday villa in Slovenia offers a window to this mountainous region and a chance to discover one of the few regions of Europe not yet tarnished with the brush of over-development and commercialism.
