Ivan Rilski hotelI must admit that I am fans of Bansko, rarely visit the resort and do not know good hotels and restaurants in the region. Special occasion me to a Spa Hotel Saint Ivan Rilski “and not disappointed. The hotel is good against the Bulgarian resort hotels, but the thing that made my service was extremely impressed. We had occasion, so we were committed to the restaurant and the chef, who cared for us all – any suggestions of dishes, wine tastings, special service, the execution of the feast itself. The room is large, arranged in soft tones. Available are standard conveniences without undue pamper you. The bathroom is fairly large and comfortable. The view from the room, unfortunately reminiscent of the misunderstanding, which is building the Bulgarian resorts, or rather what it was. The hotel restaurant is cozy, but it is more suitable for large groups rather than to intimate dinners, but rather is characteristic of most hotel restaurants. Salad is perhaps one of the tastiest I’ve eaten. Contains tomato, fresh roasted peppers, roasted eggplant, shredded carrots, flavored with parsley and dill. The olives are originally served. This roll is an appetizer of grilled zucchini and fillet of smoked salmon – excellent combination. Interestingly in the preparation of the lamb is that it is boned before being baked while retained its shape. As shown in the picture and the result is excellent – lean meat with crispy crust.

Igloo HotelHotel & Igloo Village Kakslauttanen is located near the village Saariselk?, targets 1085 km from Helsinki and about 250 kilometers beyond the Arctic Circle. The nearest town is Ivalo, a half hour away. If you want to pass around to parting with several hundred euro a night – a success. Beyond the Arctic Circle, one of the northern lights lit snow fields of Lapland, is a unique hotel complex – Hotel & Igloo Village Kakslauttanen. It has 32 wooden houses, 20 snow igloos and 20 glass igloos. Now the owners are there and the world’s largest smoke sauna and a snow restaurant. The most striking aspect of this complex in my view are glass igloos. Is certainly very hard tonight, after you “warm” by half, to lie to each other and enjoy the northern lights in the glass dome. Naturally while you sleep would not prevail. In addition to Aurora Borealis during the summer months to monitor and midnight sun. Speaking of warm must add that this is an important element of staying in Lapland. Glass igloos are specifically designed for harsh conditions, are exposed to – the outside temperature can drop to -30 ° C. The glass is special and provide a normal room temperature. This does not allow de-icing fluids and you can always enjoy the view.
