My husband and I are planning a trip to Slovenia and Croatia (northern portion) in mid-May. We plan on staying in private rooms (sobe) as much as we can.
Is is really necessary to make reservations ahead of time (months or weeks before) travelling at this time of the year (May)? We plan on renting a car to explore the Julian Alps and the Plitvice Lakes areas and would prefer to be able to have a more "free wheeling" approach to our vacation and not be locked into our room reservations. Also, Rick Steve's book says many places require a minimum of a 3 night stay, or you might well pay a 30%-50% surcharge?!
I welcome all advice!
