Overlooking its own gently sloping landscaped gardens and, beyond, the highest mountains of the Central Balkan Range, the property is an ideal place for tranquility, relaxation, fresh clean air and the outdoor life. Built in two sections around a spacious covered terrace, this cleverly designed mountain lodge offers simple, comfortable accommodation that works equally well as a romantic hideaway for a couple, a quiet spot for families whether seeking access to outdoor sports or just to get away from it all, and as a holiday destination for groups of friends who will enjoy long evenings on the terrace with the barbecue and plunge pool adding to the party mood.

Sophy says: "The lodge is in a magnificent location, with fantastic views over the mountains. It is wonderfully quiet; the only noise is from birds and crickets. While we were there we saw lots of interesting birds, including an eagle. Our toddler much enjoyed exploring the house and garden and splashing in the pool. The only slight drawback was that she needed constant supervision because of the gradient of the garden and the presence of the pool. We used the lodge as a base to explore the surrounding area, as it is within easy reach of Troyan, Gabrovo, Etar and Sevlievo. It was lovely to return from a busy day sight-seeing to the peace and quiet of the lodge. The owners are very friendly and helpful, and we were very well looked after. The lodge is perfect for anyone looking for a really quiet holiday home, with the option of things to do and see in the vicinity."
