The restaurant is the schedule. Hiša Franko serves Wed–Sun, dinner 19:00–23:00 with last seating 20:00, and the tasting menu runs three to four hours [1] — meaning every other decision (where to sleep, what to do Saturday, when to start it) collapses out of that one fixed window. The winter pause (recently early Jan through mid-Feb) also rules out late-winter weekends entirely [2].
Walking-distance lodging is a binary problem with two answers. Staro Selo is a hamlet of ~150 people [3], and only two addresses on its single lane qualify: the restaurant’s own farmhouse rooms at Staro selo 1 (28 beds, dining-guests-only, capped at one night, manually confirmed) [4], and Apartment / Chalet Žonir at Staro selo 57 — a 5-minute walk down the same lane, operated by VisitSoča Kobarid whose host has driven dining guests for free [5][6]. Tripadvisor’s “near Hiša Franko” list opens at 3.2 km — meaning every alternative is a 35–55 min country-road walk on an unlit lime-tree avenue [7][8]. Take a taxi.
The on-site room is the booking that gates everything. It must be requested in the same submission as the dinner reservation, but it isn’t auto-confirmed [4] — so the operational order is: request both, wait for the email, then book a fallback if the room is declined. The one-night cap also forces a hybrid for multi-night stays: dinner-night at Hiša Franko, second night somewhere with more amenity, because the on-site rooms are intentionally TV-less and modest [9].
The lodging map and the activity map are the same map. Every village that surfaces as a character stay is also a trailhead inside the 30 km radius: Drežniške Ravne (Tourist Farm Žvanč, foot of Mt Krn) [10], Koseč (Tourist Farm Kranjc, Kozjak waterfall trail start) [11], Ladra (Koren Eco Chalets, above the Soča) [12], Livek (Nebesa Chalets — owned by Ana Roš’s parents, 2025 MICHELIN Key) [13][14]. The expedition’s family/operator network shows through here: Nebesa is a Roš property, VisitSoča runs both Apartment Žonir and the taxi that ferries diners from anywhere in the valley [15]. Saturday timing is rigid — one morning pick (Tolmin Gorges, Mangart Saddle, half-day rafting) plus one short afternoon stop (Slap Kozjak, Italian Charnel House) with a 17:00–19:00 hard buffer to shower and dress.
The angle that didn’t land. The IT/tech-event sub-topic returned a null result with a ledger validation error (duplicate URL in the citations file) — the finding itself stands: there are no developer conferences inside the 30 km radius in 2026, only PRC workshops and Coworking BAZA in Tolmin, with the nearest CFP-driven events 60–110 km away in Nova Gorica and Ljubljana [16]. Confirmation, not a gap: this is a leisure radius, not a workation radius.
The sharpest open question is therefore not what to book but in what order: the on-site room is the only piece of this weekend that isn’t on demand, and a declined room request changes lodging, taxi logistics, and even Sunday-morning plans. Submit the dinner-and-room request first, then build the rest of the weekend against the email you get back.
