Šempeter pri Gorici is a small and picturesque town located near the Slovenian-Italian border, just a few kilometres away from Nova Gorica. After the reconstruction of the Ivan Rob Square (in Slovenian called “plac”) in 2011, the centre of the town boasts even stronger Mediterranean flair. The St. Peter’s church, whose patron saint is the name-giver of the town Šempeter, and the guest-friendly Lipa Hotel shape the character of the main square. The hotel is an excellent place to experience and enjoy the Mediterranean vibe and a convenient starting point for trips to Nova Gorica and surrounding countryside. You can visit the winegrowing region Goriška brda, the picturesque Slovenian Karst, the Vipava valley and the Soča valley.
