Veternik 1959

Very nice guest house, in an excellent location just after the busy touristic Elati and Pertouli villages. It is entirely made of wood, and rooms a spacious while cozy. Central heating and fireplace makes it the best way to sit on your window and get lost in the white scenery. Owners are very helpful(not your typical hotel owners), with the right answers to your questions, and very keen in hanging around for small talk. If you are the curious type of person, and understand basic construction stuff, ask them about the way they built it, it is quite interesting. Tip: hot tap water is heated from the wood fireplace in the reception/bar/breakfast area. Parking space is 50 meters away from the hotel so if you don't travel light, drive to the hotel, unload and go park afterwards. The location is at the edge of the village and the snow plough is visiting, but get snow chains of similar antiskid gear for your car. Family friendly as much as it can get, so if you have kids, they will love it. Owners also like kids, just don't let them destroy their hand built guest room. Prefer the top floor rooms as it is made of wood. If you are a light sleeper, and there is loud people around, it can be disturbing. If you sleep like a log, don't bother. Separate the key from the access card that cuts off electricity to have the heating on in your room, be so kind(and green) though to turn off the lights as you go. Smokers be aware, as this is made of wood, you are welcome to smoke only outside, as it not hard to torch the place. If you are also not experienced with fireplaces, just don't attempt to light it, go and have a coffee in the bar that there is a huge one, that is always on. Fire in wooden rooms is a sport for the pros, and central heating is more than enough. The village is very nice and quiet, has a good tavern where you can eat big game, and if you need more options next villages(Pertouli/Elati) are near. Free wifi, but be tempted to dump your phone in your bag and enjoy the stunning views and some booze by the fire.
