When the mountains call, make for Bulgaria’s luxurious playground

The Rila mountains, with their dramatic glaciers, crevasses and sky-piercing peaks are the backdrop to almost every space at Flora Boutique. Its bedrooms and suites keep you completely cosy with rustic-luxe styling, natural materials and cloud-soft textiles, while drawing your eye to windows framing the mountainous playground outside. Step out onto your terrace into the crisp air. Or hunker down next to the Lobby Bar’s fireplace for drinks with a piano accompaniment. The quiet, elegant garden is open year-round for coffee-sipping amid fresh greenery or snow-blanketed tranquillity.
That sense of peace is all but guaranteed throughout the hotel, with its ‘grown-ups only’ ethos. And nowhere more so than the relaxation area, dedicated to calm and warmth with showstopping slope-side views. Dip into the 14-metre pool, sink into hot tubs, step into the steam room and saunas – and simply breathe. A fully-loaded gym and extensive menu of massage treatments complete the perfect picture. Wrap up your day with dinner and a glass or two of Bulgarian wine at Roots Restaurant where white glove service promise evenings to remember.
