it was a little difficult to find the place but with the help of a person who spoke bulgarian' we called the owner and he explained exactly how to find!

The owner helped us very much with the parking!!!! the place is really un the center.

I had some problems to arrive at Melnik. I took the bus, because the train connection with Thessaloniki for some mysterious reasons does not work since 2020 (which is a scandal). Lozenica has a train station, but it is outside and even locals do not always know that a train station does exist in their town. I was lucky to find a bus to Sofia which did stop at Lozenica, but one should know that Thessaloniki has two Central Bus Stations which have no specific names to understand the difference. My bus departed from the train station and it was hard to fetch it in the last second. Afterwards no bus is going from Lozenica to Melnik (about 20 km) although it passes three times per day and bus drivers in Bulgaria are friendly and very reliable. I waved for taxis, but they did not stop. Thus, I was forced to hitch hike like in good old times.

The architecture is historical and very beautiful. Right before the window is a beautiful garden full of flowers. From there one has a nice view on the sandstone mountains. The place is very simple and modest like a monk's cell, if you stay at a Bulgarian monastery, but it has a TV (for those who need it). It was exactly what I was looking for and the price is fine. I recommend this place for visitors who have not much money, but really would like to stay in a traditional space in a historical building. I came here to hike through the mountains and visit the monastery at Rožen. The monastery was founded during the 18th century as a dependance of the Mone Iveron in Holy Mount Athos. It is Greek and the whole area is bilingual. Melnik is very famous for its wine and I recommend to look for the small less crowded restaurants where the families produce their own wine. Most of the houses have a cave with own wine and the quality is unique in the world!

Great location, in the centre of Melnik, a few meters from restaurants, cafes and shops, yet quiet and looking "secluded". The interior of the house looks like a small monastery, with rooms along the balcony surrounding the courtyard. Lovely place!

Everything was nice.

Melnik is a very beautiful village with very nice restaurants near the small river. You have to walk into the town (further from the main road) and climb up the hills to see the amazing view of the sandstone mountains/canyon. I stayed up for half an hour, it's incredibly beautiful. Also nice to visit is the Rozhen monestary and the wineries. I visited Villa Melnik. The owner was very nice and we enjoyed many nice wines. I also got a private tour with the owner and tasted directly from the barrels. So stay at least 2 days, or 3 days in Melnik. It's one of the nicest villages in Bulgaria.

It was promoted on booking.com that the apartment has 30 m2 area, but it was very small, approx. 12 m2.

Very small, clean apartment in a building, with internal yard. Clean, but extremely small: anyhow, one can remember to the life of travelling dervises. Hosts was helpful, tried to do his best to feel comfortable. Anyhow, if I come back, I will stay here again.

Bathroom is a bit small, but not to the point of being unusable.

Melnik is beautiful, and the house is next to the river, on top of a string of mehanas and terraces. Very quiet, thought. The rooms are all at the first level, reached through an ill thought stair (steps were too low and narrow). We took a three beds room: it has a good size and the beds are relatively comfortably. We didn't have to use the air conditioning. The owners are nice and very accommodating.

Facilities a bit aged, yet clean and well-functioning.

A wonderful authentic old house in the traditional atmosphere of Melnik. Welcoming and caring hosts, great location in the middle of the town. A lot of possibilities to explore and enjoy the local cuisine and renowned wine, to visit places of interest in the area such as old churches, historical sites or just to remain alone with Nature.
