Pros +
- Amazing nature, friendly staff, fireplace (it was cold), good internet.
- We liked that the location is very quiet and the staff were really kind
- If you want to get out of the city noises, it’s the perfect place to go. It’s quiet, beautiful and the fireplaces make for a cozy atmosphere in the cold days.
Cons -
- The couch smells like sweat. The double bed was actually for person and a half and that made in uncomfortable. The restaurant was super expensive. The road to the house was terrible 4km off-road and we almost broke our car.
- Restaurant needs some polishing up in terms of cleanliness and quality.
- We got one of the backside Vila’s number 15 I’m not sure if you need to pay more for the front once or if we just got “lucky” but doesn’t matter, the view was a storage shed that is in front of the house and a kids playground, so keep this in mind: it’s good to call in advance to ask about the location and view of the Vila, other Vila’s had a clear view of the lake, others had the view of the back side of the front Vila’s. And of course you have the lux Vila’s which are more expensive but I was not expecting to be in those ones anyway. So yes it was kind of disappointing but it happens.

Cozy and relaxing are the main words I can say about the place, very quite and relaxing no noise and nothing that can bother you, surrounded by forest it’s the perfect place to relax. Get away from phones and laptops enjoy the cracking of the wood in the fireplace and forget about the busy life in the city. Wood it’s included in the price and the manager and stuff is extremely helpful.

Great location, friendly staff, good food. The villas are very comfortable and warm.
Our bathroom was a bit dated and could use a renovation. The place also offers bikes to rent but they are kind of old and rusty.
Beautiful location. Nature was amazing, incredibly calm and quiet,perfect for romantic getaway.
Food in the restaurant wasn’t great. Restaurant only works for certain hours during the day. Breakfast was very scarce. Also nearest shop for any food is 40mins away and if you missed a meal you have to wait for the next time the restaurant will be open.You can bring food, unfortunately theres no cutlery in the house - just a few cups, no dishes, spoons, knifes and forks.
The service and the food were fantastic. The staff were really attentive with the kids and gave us recommendations on activities in the area. The resort is very clean and tidy and very relaxed and safe due to the remote location.
We hadn't realised how remote the resort was, which in itself is not bad, but the last 5 km of the road is a dirt track, so getting in and out is a bit of a mission. It was fine to stick around for 3 days and eat in the restaurant, but for a longer holiday it would be better to come prepared with food/supplies if you want some variety.
Not romantic time
Not Clean, everything it’s broken , don’t have internet, break fast it’s sheets every day the some and dinner also really bad because not fresh, it’s 2 - 3 days before cooked
Awesome location, very friendly staff.
The premises needs some TLC's, also the stove system is a bit hard to keep running with only pinewood.
Fantastic location and great log cabins. The restaurant has improved a lot since our last visits a few years ago and the menu and food were excellent!
It will be good to have a coffee machine at breakfast instead of instant coffee. It will also be nice to keep the cooked breakfast items warm for longer
For the price of 740 leva for the weekend, as mentioned in the booking, utensils for cooking are included. However, no such thing. Also the staff were not helping at all.
Location was excellent near to the lake. There was great access to water. The huts were comfortable and breakfast was fine.
The setting was beautiful and the fireplace is great! The forest around the village is magnificent!
There was no double bed and the restaurant wasn't anything special.
Very comfortable and cozy, lovely staff.
Prices were just a bit too high.
Great location on the bank of the dam in the woods. Exceptionally quiet place.
The last 4km are dirt road.
Magnificent lake view, nice villa, clean and comfortable. The ladies at the reception and restaurant staff were extremely friendly and helpful, meeting all our needs and requests. Can’t wait to visit again.
Everything! The location, the lake, the forest, the cabin, the spa, the food - superb!
A bit limited breakfast option but not a deal breaker as we were out of season.
Amazingly beautiful place! Fabulous nature.Delicious food.Very nice and clean house.
Warm welcoming by the receptionist and the people in the restaurant. The location is great and the houses are well equipped for a short stay or for a longer one if you organize to bring your own stuff. There is possibility of making barbecue outside each house but we enjoyed some great time and food at the restaurant. There are bikes and little boat you can take on a sunny day.
I would have stayed more but my budget was limited :PBe aware there are 10-15min (easy) offroad before reaching the spot
Amazing location. Right next to a beautiful lake and forest. Grassy hills perfect for enjoying the sun. Kind hosts and good service at the restaurant. Perfect for dog owners - you can let your dog run and play quite a lot here.
The last 5 miles from the road to the place are full of holes and difficult to pass with city car. The only place where you can get food or drinks is the restaurant of the holiday village where everything is super expensive (coffee is priced like you're at Starbucks) and the variety in the menu is definitely not great. In our villa itself we had absolutely no kitchen utensils and no kitchen-like space to prepare anything. We couldn't relax in the living room of the villa because half of the couch was broken and sunk (and with some suspicious white stains). there was major leak in one of the bedrooms and to top it all off the water heater stopped working and we didn't have warm water for a while. There is not much to do in the spring here but enjoy the views unless you are brave enough to take on the hole-y roads leading you out to other areas around the lake. There is a SPA place that you have to request 3 hours in advance to use, pay 20 lv and use for 1h max which is ridiculous.
