Iliikova House Guest House Kalofer

Review by hotel critic

My stay at Iliikova House was a delightful escape into the tranquil beauty of Karlovo. The rooms were cozy and clean, offering a breathtaking view of the mountains from the second floor. The welcoming host not only provided a warm greeting but also went above and beyond, even offering a pickup from the railway station outside town. The traditional elements of the fully-renovated house added a charming touch to the authentic experience.The location on a hill provided stunning views of the town, forests, and mountains, creating a serene atmosphere perfect for early morning coffee in the lovely yard. The friendly owners made the stay even more enjoyable, ensuring everything was well accommodated, including a welcome drink to kick off the holiday vibes. The option to partake in various activities like horse riding, hiking, and even a Jeep ride to Botev Peak added an adventurous twist to the stay.At Iliikova House, there's a sense of homeliness that resonates throughout. The common air-conditioned dining room with a fully equipped kitchen was a convenient spot to mingle with other guests and share travel stories. The availability of laundry facilities was a practical touch, allowing for a stress-free stay. The free WiFi throughout the property was a bonus, keeping me connected to share the beauty of this Balkan gem with friends and family. With the monasteries, restaurants, and shops nearby, everything needed for a fulfilling holiday was at arm's reach. I highly recommend Iliikova House for anyone seeking an authentic and memorable Balkan getaway.
