I don’t know what you are thinking in the end of this week, and I don’t know how successful this week was for you. But I know that if you are wondering where to go to get some rest away from the city clamour, you must go to a little place you are sure to like – the Skandaloto family hotel.

The hotel is situated in the Skandalo village, 15 km away from Troyan and 3 km away from the Apriltzi resort in Central Northern Bulgaria.

The place is a restored house from the National Revival period in the end of the XIX century. Its original architecture has been preserved. Only natural materials – stone and wood - have been used in its restoration. The house once had a homespun workshop which is now turned into a 30-seat tavern, while the cattlesheds and barn have been turned into bedrooms.

Sounds perfect, doesn’t it?! Now close your eyes and imagine the other temptations “Skandaloto” has for you.

River beach right next to the hotel – the perfect place for anyone looking for a gorgeous mountain tan. Besides attractive it is also very lasting – it’s worth trying.

If you had a boring week filled with useless emotions and worries, or you just had some bad luck like I did – then let me tell you the hotel has everything to make you relax and stop thinking about the problems and hard tasks in the city. What am I talking about? Fishing in a river or a lake, gathering mushrooms, wild fruit and herbs, mountain walks and a 15 km horse base.

There are also other ways to forget the problems – indulging in something that will overwhelm you completely both physically and emotionally. I’m not kidding. Besides everything else, the “Skandaloto” hotel offers different routs, ecopath walks and sightseeing in the region: the Troyan Monastery, the Batoshevski Monastery, the Novoselski Monastery, the churches in the village of Skandalo and Gumoshtnik, the Exhibition of Arts and Crafts in the Oreshak village, the Natural Science Museum in the village of Cherni Osam, the Ethnographic Museum in Troyan, the Syarkovata House exhibition in Troyan, ceramics lessons.

If you are a fan of extreme emotions, then you can always take routs such as the Botev peak and Maragidik peak.

The hotel has 2 apartments and 8 self-contained rooms (6 of them with 2 beds, and 2 with 3 beds for families with little kids). One of the apartments has 2 rooms with 2 beds, and the other one has a bedroom and a living room.

Maybe I should remind you that each of the hotels profit.bg presents on weekends carriers the “Authentic Bulgaria” mark, and “Skandaloto” won the best family hotel award in 2006.

In the end, as usual, let me tell you about prices. In “Skandaloto” they start from 22 leva for bed and breakfast in a double room and reach 80 leva for bead and breakfast in an apartment.

If you have decided to take a little 7-day vacation in the “Skandaloto” hotel, then there’s a pleasant surprise for you: 470 leva for 7 days bed and breakfast in an apartment and 130 leva for 7 days bed and breakfast in a double room. That’s all from me, now it’s your turn – pack your bags and hit the road.
