The Belvedere Pavilion reigns supreme on thirty-metre pillars above Lake Bled in the safe shelter of the Vila Bled’s park. In warmer months, it throws open its doors as a café and patisserie with the most wonderful views across to Bled island. It is an extremely popular venue for receptions and wedding celebrations due to its idyllic setting, unique architectural design and rich history.

You may select the exquisite Belvedere Pavilion as the memorable venue of an exceptional day in your life.

The history of the Belvedere Pavilion goes back to the interwar period. By appointment of the Yugoslav King Alexander, the then-owner of the Vila Bled, the grandest Slovene architect Jože Plečnik designed the plans for a new extensive royal summer residence which was to be built in the immediate vicinity of the villa.

By the outbreak of the war, just stone pillars had been built, and after the war the reception hall – nowadays the Belvedere Pavilion – was completed according to vague plans by Jože Plečnik. Yugoslav President Marshal Tito used the pavilion for tea parties and hosted many eminent guests from around the world here.
