Guesthouses
Along our routes we stay in authentic Rhodope and Stara Planina guesthouses, chosen for their warm hosts, home cooking and closeness to the places we love. Here are a few of them.
Telesfor Guesthouse
The village of Orehovo sits in the upper part of the Dolen Rupchos basin, at the foot of Persenk peak. Our favourite place to stay here is the Telesfor guesthouse, run by hosts Zlatka and Emo, who are the reason we love this place.
Built in 2015, the house holds a three-star rating. It has four twin rooms with separate beds and two double rooms with bedrooms and terraces, each with its own bathroom, television and Wi-Fi. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the cosy dining room with a fireplace seats 18. A conference room for 24 is well suited to team building, training and meetings.

It has six rooms, each with its own bathroom, a comfortable kitchen with a dining area and a barbecue. The total capacity is 18 plus 4.

Kamenovi Guesthouse
The village of Mogilitsa lies at 920 to 950 metres above sea level, 25 km south-west of Smolyan, on the left bank of the Arda river. Crystal-clear air, an abundance of caves and breathtaking views await you here. Our favourite place to stay is the Kamenovi guesthouse, right next to the Agushevi Konatsi mansion, in the centre of the village.
The house has three floors that can be rented separately, with a shared kitchen, bathroom and fridge on each floor. There is a tavern with a fireplace, local heating, a covered porch, a barbecue with an oven, a playground and a large yard. Here you can try Rhodope dishes: home-made banitsa, mekitsi and marudnik for breakfast, patatnik, parenik and Rhodope beans with porcini for dinner.
Emili Family House
Koprivshtitsa nestles in the embrace of Sredna Gora, surrounded by ancient pines and keeping the memory of the April Uprising. Along its cobbled lanes and between its high stone walls you feel the spirit of a town of magic.
Our favourite place to stay here is Emili Family House, just 150 metres from the centre, very close to the monument and museum of Georgi Benkovski. Guests are accommodated in three apartments and three double rooms. The apartments have two bedrooms, an equipped kitchen with a table for six, a fridge, a microwave, a coffee machine and a covered porch with a view over the town. Each room has its own bathroom with a shower cabin, a television and heating by convectors.
Mugla Family Hotel
The village of Mugla lies along the upper course of the picturesque Muglenska river, with its many waterfalls and rapids. The area is home to one of the largest populations of wild goats in the Rhodopes, as well as the Kazanite reserve, declared in 1968 to protect the mixed forests of fir, black pine, beech and spruce.
The Mugla family hotel offers comfort and calm: four triple rooms, two double rooms and one quad room, all with their own bathroom and digital television. The hotel has a 40-seat restaurant where you can enjoy the warmth of the fireplace with a cup of Mursalski tea and the renowned Rhodope specialities.
