An easy drive up the road to Rila Monastery. The hotel has a restaurant and will provide dinner and breakfast upon request. Experienced the property owners putting up red peppers for the winter by roasting them over a wood fired oven. Received a taste of Rakia, Bulgaria's national drink. Had some Zagorka pivo, Bulgarian beer. Wonderful experiencewith an authentic Bulgarian host.

Wonderful place. The people really care. We had booked 2 rooms for 3 people, but they said we could only have 1. It was a bit small, but it worked and they were really nice about it. The deck view was so wonderful it made up for it. And it was only 1 night.

There was enough to see at the monastary, even though most museums there seemed no to be open (it was February!). Entrance is free but be ready to pay 5 levs for parking (you do get all day for that).
The area has dramatic scenery with some other things to see other than just the Monastary.
We visited the grave of James Baucher and discovered why Sofia has a station named after this Irishman!

We take all our foreign guests to visit the Monastery.
We take all our foreign guests to visit the Monastery. It is iconic. The parking cost 5 Leva, but there is no entry fee to the Monastery. The two museums in the monastery require an entry fee, but are worth the price. Make sure that you see the clock tower bells that ring on the hour. Behind the Monastery is a little fast food place that sells a Bulgarian treat called "makitsa", it costs 1 Lev and even the Bulgarians will tell you that is the best "makitsa" in the country.

In the warmer months,go early, as in be there by 10AM. Afterwards it gets very crowded by Noon. Avoid the weekends and holidays if possible. There is a 5LV parking fee. Admission is free to the church-no photos inside. There are 4 museums each with a 4 LV charge. The exterior murals are from the late 19th C. The main beauty is the exterior of the church and it's grounds.
The back entrance and parking area is heavily commercialized, however there is a stand there making fresh hot donuts. They are as close to heaven as you'll get!

Check the Internet for Rila monastry.
Check the Internet for Rila monastry. They do have an excellent website.
It is worth the visit. Mind that it is a 30 min drive from the interstate each way. Accomodation quality seems questionable in the area. at least my negative experience with Gorski Kut was horrible.

The tour of the monastery was fantastic.
The tour of the monastery was fantastic. Because we stayed right next to the monastery we were there early do got an individual tour of the ethnography rooms and icon room. Place is a lovely visit anyway but seeing it without the crowds is fantastic. (Go early or stay late!)

The Hotel & Restaurant are located in a beautiful area in the middle of the Rila Mountains, a short drive from the UNESCO Heritage monastery we well as many other sites and attractions. The staff were very kind and helped us sign in ahead of time. The food was local, homemade and delicious - also very healthy with many vegetables and salads!
Very nice hotel! Well designed and furnished rooms.Big bathroom with a lot of hot water. Nice breakfast and dinner. The staff is amazing, very polite and helpful. Comfy bed. Spacious SPA center. Free parking on site. Charging el. stations are available.
Great place, accommodation, good beds, nice location of the hotel. Very good breakfast options, very good menu and lots of options for lunch or dinner. Is our second stay in this hotel.
Nice hotel for a short stay in the forest a few km from Rila Monastery. The room was as expected. Everything was clean. We liked the fish prepared on BBQ in the restaurant.
The room had a fantastic view from the comfortable balcony. The Rila monastery was a few minutes away by car. The hotel's restaurant provides excellent dining options.
