    I can't say that there is something not to like in the place.May be the menu in the restaurant 55 need to include more traditional food and vegan options,as there is a lot of Burgers and pasta choices(American style).The food was lovely ,just I don't personally eat this type of food

    .It's a very special place! The views are incredible,the staff is very polite and friendly,the rooms big enough and cozy!

    We had to wait for 20+ minutes for someone to appear and do our check-out. It seems there was shortage of staff. We could not get proper introduction when we arrived at the property and there was almost no explanation about the facilities, the wine yards, farm, Spa, etc.

    Food in the 55 bistro is great, the staff there is doing great job as well. The nature around the properly is awesome and views are stunning.

    Insects, but stuff is very helpful and have medicament, if case you'll be interacting with insects too close :) Pets accommodation can be improved with adding bowls. Also, it would be great to have higher green fence in villas, so it will be possible to sunbathe naked :) Audio system and coffee machine are a bit tricky. Bed lined is fine, but can be updated. Would be nice to have a paper map of the area :)

    Truly amazing tailored experience. I got the impression that I spent 5 days in Italy or in French Provence. All aspects are well-designed and at the very high level (so different from my previous experience in Bulgaria). -- Gentle check-in with a taste of champagne, even my dog was offered a bowl of water. Thanks for letting my dog stay, especially considering that this is a fully grown collie. Villa interior design is extremely stylish, it was such a bliss to walk with bare feet on natural stone floors. Scent design and bathing accessories (with towels and bathrobes as well) are presented by Acqua dell' Elba, truly fascinating experience. Cleaning is provided daily (with updating minibar items and coffee for free). My fireplace was also refilled and ready to fire with no extra charge. -- Spa area is maintained very well and designed with natural stones, quiet, spacious and illuminated with natural light. Hot spring pool is organized as a natural pond, clean and lovely. -- The area of the estate is huge, so you'll be offered a bike to explore it. There are a couple of picnic places, organized with hammocks, glasses and wine, so you can take some rest during the exploration. -- Breakfast is organized as a buffet, contains everything you need and more, the view from the terrace is breathtaking. There is a gourmet restaurant on the estate for additional gastronomic adventures, which is managed by a chef who is in love with his job. -- The vineyard is hugging buildings, giving gets an opportunity to walk along the furrow with a glass of local wine. -- People who managing this place, a welcoming and nice, was participating in Relais & Châteaux course. Overall, the atmosphere of the place is so calm and relaxing, despite this, it feels like a lot of efforts (and money) has been invested in this project. So, I'd like to express my gratitude for the opportunity to visit this place and restore my strength with the energy of this magical place. Simply the...

    Zornica Family Estate is a beautiful place. Very romantic and beautifully designed. When you are there it feels that you are in Toscana, but with majestic views of Rila and the Greek Rhodopi mountains. The food is amazing, very tasty and the service is truly 5-star. The SPA is very well done and made us feel very welcome. We were there just for one night, but felt that it was enough to get a proper rest from the busy day-to-day. Fifty Fifty house syrah wine blend is a MUST try, it is incredible.

    The estate was really romantic, absolutely stunning in terms of nature and hospitality! The breakfast was great, however, the cleanliness of the facilities was not up to standard. The Spa in the hotel was not cleaned all day and other guests had left cups and hair all around the pools, that was unacceptable. The reception staff was not helpful at all, if we didn't read before coming to the estate we were not going to be aware about most of the things that were available to us. It was also rude that the day when we were checking-in the reception gave three ladies three wines as a compliment while they gave us only one during out check-out even though we were three girlfriends as well. We went on a tour around the estate which is free to all guests with a golf cart and the guy who showed us around was great! I truly recommend! Main restaurant was great, full with interesting dishes even though TOO salty for all of our tastes. Overall, the estate is great, we would recommend it if it were cheaper because you absolutely don't receive value for the money.

    The wine tasting was a trip to a room beside the accommodation a tour of the vineyards would have been appropriate.

    The spa and pool were fantastic the room was excellent.
