Highly recommended
Excellent location, fantastic facilities in a recently renovated traditional house. The owner/manager is knowledgeable and extremely helpful and can assist with virtually any request. Very good breakfast, great view and spacious, well-appointed rooms. We only stayed one night but the town and the property deserve a longer stay.

Best hotel staff!
Best hotel staff I have ever experienced! Modern hotel with high quality everything – furniture, lights, all. Very tasty breakfast. Location is bang in the middle of old town, between shopping and restaurants and the fortress. Will definitely come again.

Beautifully decorated
The hotel is brand new and of very high standard. The interior exudes modest chic, class and tranquillity. The breakfast is marvellous with fresh and local produce and home baked bread. The hosts are very knowledgeable about the area and go through great lengths to help you on your way. All and all – a great place to stay that I would happily visit again.

Facilities and amenities
Breakfast time, coffee time, teatime or the morning newspaper in your own time. For the moments when you feel social, or just want to relax outside of your suite, the lounge, breakfast room and terrace remain at your disposal to enjoy throughout the day.
Tarnovo - The city of hanging gardens*
"And to tell you the truth, the whole of Bulgaria is so picturesque... Far ahead were other rocks, and on them perched the city – beautiful Tarnovo, every house in it bathed in color: covered with red baked tiles, walls painted in faded pinks and browns...
We stopped to enjoy the view – like Naples seen from the sea..."
