Rodopski Ailyak

Nature around. Forest, few people. Hard to find in western europe. We picked up mushrooms too.

We stayed with my family (2 adults + 2 kids) for two nights on our family trip through the Rhodopi mountains. The house is big and clean. With a bit of compromise, it can handle even more than 6 people. It has a beautiful interior design and just in-place decorations. The dining and living room was great for a family dinner. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. It had three bathrooms, which is appreciated in the mornings if you know what I mean. 🙂 The view is not 'wow' but it is scenic and it is somehow 'Dospatish', which is a good thing. The house had a small backyard, that was just perfect for us to make a barbecue. The BBQ itself was a little bit amortized, and we struggled to make the fire (that has nothing to do with the BBQ amortization, but rather with us, forgetting to buy firelighters), but we managed to make it anyway.

I will start with a clarification, that there is nothing I didn't like. But here is a collection of small tips for the people considering staying there: - Firstly, if the price is OK with you, stay there. We were ok with the price and we are glad we stayed there. - Secondly, the address in Google Maps is wrong. It is Google Maps that is wrong (or Bulgarian National Map Agency or whatever it is called in reality). The house is at the end of the street. - Thirdly, if you use hot water while you're showering, you should know that the left part of the water tap is extremely hot. You can burn your hand there, or as in my case - other parts of your body, while you are washing your feet, for example. ☺️ - Fourthly, the BBQ is a little amortized, so take into account that you will not be able to move the fire up and down much. There were no BBQ tools, other than the BBQ itself, but the host was kind enough to find us "some tools". - As the host explained, the bathroom on the ground floor is on the same boiler as the bathroom for the master bedroom, so if you don't turn the water boiler on for the master bedroom, you will be left only with cold water on both floors.

The atmosphere was wonderful. We had everything we needed provided by the property and staff. The staff was always available and ready to hear our needs and meet them ASAP.
