  Description

  After many years living and working in the UK, we decided to change our lifestyle and go back to the old ways of living .
  
  And so here we are - a small stop in Stob, Bulgaria - a beautiful and humble rural place to get in touch with the good Old times, that bring back new sense in our busy lives, practice compassion and learn more about Nature .
  
  A small self-sustaining rural home and the purpose of our home is to give you all the comfort and space you need to feel your body ,mind and spirit renewed as much as possible for the days of your stay and for the days after that in the good old ways - therapy and stress free with slow home-cooked real food, good conversation or a quiet time with a book and Mother Nature.
  
  Also help the little community in every way we can, depending on the needs and promote the good energy of the place, but we need also help restoring the garden and start bringing own food to table.
  
  *Good experience for those who like to explore History Heritage enrich their life and collect memorable images dated back in X Century (The Monastery of Saint John of Rila, better known as the Rila Monastery is the largest and most famous Eastern Orthodox monastery in Bulgaria.
