Vila Verbena

Wonderful hosts and spectacular setting. Absolute hidden gem. We went for a very long hike and got lost, ended up being 4 hours away from our car with no busses or taxis. The host was super nice and came to get us.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the enchanting Villa Verbena in Apriltsi, Bulgaria, and I must say, it was an experience that exceeded all expectations. Tucked away in a remote and idyllic corner of the world, this hidden gem offers a retreat like no other.

Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the road leading to Villa Verbena was far from the daunting obstacle some reviews had described. The journey was a scenic delight, with breathtaking vistas unfolding at every turn.

The hospitality extended by the hosts was nothing short of heartwarming. From the moment I stepped foot on the property, I felt like an honored guest in their home. Their warmth and genuine care created an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation that truly set Villa Verbena apart.

The culinary offerings at this villa were a culinary journey in themselves. The breakfast and dinner provided were a delightful fusion of local flavors and international influences, skillfully prepared and served with an attention to detail that bespoke of true culinary passion. Each meal was a gastronomic adventure, leaving me eagerly anticipating the next culinary creation.

The accommodations at Villa Verbena were a haven of tranquility and relaxation. The tastefully decorated rooms exuded a rustic charm while boasting modern amenities that ensured a comfortable stay. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, from the meticulously chosen decor to the thoughtfully provided amenities.

But what truly stole my heart was the natural beauty that enveloped Villa Verbena. The surrounding landscape was a masterpiece of nature's artistry, with rolling hills, verdant forests, and a symphony of birdsong that serenaded me each morning. The air was crisp and invigorating, inviting me to explore the nearby trails and immerse myself in the embrace of the great outdoors.

In summary, my stay at Villa Verbena in Apriltsi, Bulgaria, was an unforgettable experience that touched all my senses and rejuvenated my spirit. The remote location, far from being a hindrance, was a gateway to a world of beauty and tranquility. The hosts' genuine warmth and graciousness, combined with the delectable meals and warm accommodations, made this a destination that I am already yearning to return to. If you're seeking a place to escape the mundane and embrace the extraordinary, Villa Verbena is the haven you've been dreaming of!

If you are looking for a remote location, in the middle of the forest /mountains, with great hosts, great food (just accept what they are offering for dinner, you will not regret it!), great rooms (do not expect 5 stars Hilton' style rooms, but very clean, big room with big beds) and great courtyard, this is the perfect place in Northern Bulgaria. If are about 100 km radius of this location, it's worth for sure going there!
PS: take also the Bowen therapy. Especially if you are traveling by motorcycles. It's fixing all pain!
PPS: be aware, the last 3 km is not a very good road. But perfectly doable by any car. And by any motorcycle, except the super sport bikes.

Excellent atmosphere, great friendly hosts. The food was the best - short menu but everything is delicious, cooked with fresh and tasty products. Enjoyed every bit of our 3 nights stay here. The last 2 km of the road is bumpy but "dangerous" as mentioned in another review is far exaggerated and misleading. I recommend with both hands!

From here we spent the first day going to "Vidimsko praskalo", the second day we went to "Pleven hut" and the third day - a walk in the mountain on foot from Villa Verbena. Great place to be if you love the mountain, nature and beautiful sights!

This place is a fairytale from an old mountain book. It is so tranquil, remote and laid down that you literally don't want to leave it. I remember some people complained about the dirty road leading to the house but I'd say I'm happy about it because it keeps the secret untouched. However the location and the very place couldn't be the same without the people behind and all the attitude they have towards their guests. And the food, OMG!!! I can't stop recommending Villa Verbena.

Perfect experience, dinner was so delicious!!! Friendly and kind staff, great view, great nature around the house. I recommend it!!!

The hosts are super sweet, caring and warm people. Everything is touched with love and it's easy to feel it - from the breakfast and all the food that can be tried there to the last little detail in the room decoration.
