Argo Apartments Ljubljana are part of a small family-run business based in Slovenia’s capital. Our company, Kaplja 220, not only manages these apartments but also operates a small solar power plant — a proud contribution to green energy, one droplet at a time.
We offer three modern apartments in the same building, right in the heart of Ljubljana’s city center. The building is over 100 years old, but was completely renovated in 2016, with full respect for cultural heritage regulations.
Inside, the apartments are spacious, thoughtfully furnished, and fully equipped with all the essentials. Two of them feature large terraces facing a private, tucked-away courtyard, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
Entry is simple and key-free. Both the main door and apartment doors are electrically locked and accessible via PIN code provided at check-in.
The names and design style of our apartments are inspired by legends and myths woven into the stones of
Ljubljana. Here’s a glimpse into the stories that gave our apartments their identity:
Argo
The name Argo comes from the ship of Jason and the Argonauts, who, according to legend, fled with the
Golden Fleece and sailed up rivers all the way to Ljubljana. Here, they spent the winter before continuing
their journey.
Dragon
The dragon is Ljubljana’s symbol, proudly guarding the Dragon Bridge. One legend says that a fierce
dragon once terrorized the marshes, and only Jason was brave enough to defeat it. Over time, the dragon
became a protector of the city, symbolizing courage, wisdom, and strength.
Waterman
The Waterman (Povodni mož) is a mythical creature said to live in the Ljubljanica River.
Sometimes kind, sometimes dangerous, he famously appears in a poem by Slovenia’s greatest poet, France
Prešeren, where he drags a proud but beautiful girl into the depths of the river.
Emona
Long before modern Ljubljana, there was Emona — a Roman military settlement built in AD 14.
The area around our building is rich with Roman artefacts, and just a short walk away, you can still
visit Emona’s southern wall, standing as a reminder of the city’s ancient roots.
