“The villa-style setup, with two floors and patios, felt particularly well-suited for families or longer stays, and the summer garden seemed perfect for relaxing; the outdoor pool and tennis court are real advantages, and the health-conscious dining adds a thoughtful touch. It's a large property near the Gorna Bania quarter, and could be ideal for business or leisure, while it's worth noting the hotel is pet-friendly. Its proximity to both Sofia's attractions and ecological springs offers a balanced experience.”
