Staff was amazing! We had a great time and everything was above and beyond! We were with a small pincher who also like it very much and was properly treated! Again the place is a must see, but the staff is the cherry on top of it which makes the experience so much enjoyable! Definitely will come again!

We had a lovely short stay and we hope to return for longer. The grass on our terrace was not mowed which seemed odd and the double bed was two singles pushed together with two duvets which was unusual and not expected at Relais & Chateaux. Staff in the hotel were great.

The hotel is beautiful, with a wonderful location, and great rooms, and very nice service. I tried the tasting menu in the gourmet restaurant, but it was a bit bland and there is definitely still some way to go.

Le séjour était très agréable. La propreté est impressionnant. J’aime bien les vignobles, le terrain de golf et la nature autour de l’hôtel. La chambre est spacieuse et bien équipée mais il y a besoin d’un refreshment. Le personnel est vraiment amical et poli. Je vais retourner encore, c’est sure!

Quel bonheur de revenir à Zornitza! Nous avons séjourné en famille dans une suite supérieure, upgardé généreusement par l’administration…et c’était juste top! Les bassins d’eau, la salle du sport, la vue sublime, la cuisine exquise, le personnel attentif, tout a été excellent! La valeur ajoutée: peu d’invités, bonifie le séjour en calme et en zénitude extraordinaires, quasi impossibles à trouver ailleurs. Le tout est fait avec de bon goût, de l’entretien et de soin, Zornitza reste l’unique Relais et Châteaux au pays, et on ne peut qu’être reconnaissants de bons moments passés à cet endroit merveilleux. On y reviendra, comme d’habitude. Merci encore 🙏

One of the nicest accomodations i have stayed in. Property, rooms, spa, staff, service and food are all fantastic. All of these things combined with the unique location of the estate in the middle of tuscan landscapes in Bulgaria makes it one of the most uniqe and remarkable places i visited. Highly recommend!
