Perfect cozy place to unwind from the big city stress. Quiet, clean, with awesomely polite owner. Breakfast is superb, beds comfortable. Everything was just perfect!

Amazing host, extremely friendly, delicious breakfast!

Our stay was wonderful! The hosts were lovely and very helpful with any requests. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the room. The view is breathtaking and homemade breakfast is delicious.

Margarita and her son Iliya were fabulous hosts. Margarita was prompt to respond on WhatsApp and so helpful. She gave me brilliant information on what to do in town, including the most wonderful sunrise hikes to the monastery and fortress with incredible views of the sandstone Earth Pyramids. She also helped me arrange the bus to Sofia. Amazing delicious breakfast with fresh fruit platters and options of homemade mekitsi or omelettes. Lovely shared space and patio with view. Beautifully clean and stylish property. This is located at the top of the town and very convenient to the Shestaka winery and Kordopulov House - both 20 meters away. It was 38 degrees the days I was there and I appreciated being able to enjoy some wines in the cool cave on such a hot day.

The water drain in the bathroom is situated so the water still covers much of the floor.

Location is superb, room very comfortable

The overall feeling was of being at home, the owner went out of her way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We would like to return again as it was one of the nicest places we have been.

Beautiful rooms, very clean and it smells so good, Margarita (the owner od the house) is very friendly and helpful

A gem. Great hospitality by Margarita and her husband. Excellent breakfast. Impeccably clean rooms. A great place for a relaxing stay and as a starting point for visiting the Melnik wine country.

One small thing - note that the car park is 40-50 meters downhill from the hotel. However, it is worth every step.

Cosy family hotel at very good location in old city Melnik. The breakfast had several options and was tasty.

Very comfortable suite with nice balcony with great views. Margarita, her son and husband looked after us so well and made us feel very welcome. Delicious breakfast in delightful surroundings.

Leaving. However anyone with any mobility issues should be aware that here is a bit of a climb to get to the property although we are in our late seventies and managed perfectly well.

The location of the house is fantastic, it has a great panoramic view over Melnik and we thought it is the best house in the whole city. Margarita was simply superb host - really friendly, responsive, and takes fantastic care of her guests. The breakfast was homemade and traditional for Bulgaria and really tasty (also the portions were huge). The rooms are very comfortable and clean, and the AC helps in the hot summer months. The guests have option to pick drinks from the common room (at an additional cost) and the fridge was very nicely stocked with anything you might want.

Everything was great, nothing to complain about here.

We reserved the suite which has the small balcony and a great view. I would highly recommend. Breakfast also very good on the terrace

Pack light because it is a bit of a climb from the parking

Manoleva House was a lovely day. We very much enjoyed their combinations and both the Owner and her son were incredibly friendly and helpful. Even bringing breakfast to our room each morning. They went out of our way to make sure our state was comfortable. Location was private, and the facilities clean. The location is charming as it’s higher up in town and very quiet. Highly recommend.

The main hotel was a little difficult for my mom to reach as she is older and so the owners offered us an apartment just down the street that was much easier for her to access.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Manoleva House, traveling as 2 couples. The house was built fairly recently by the owners and is beautiful, and stylish. Marguerite and her family were delightful and provided exceptional service (she dropped us off at the monastery a couple miles away, providing history and other details and brought our car back so we could hike the trail back to town, called wineries to book our tastings, recommended lunch spot in nearby town).

It was very homely and in a great location overlooking the town. The owner is very hospitable and makes sure you feel comfortable. I loved the outdoor seating area especially in the evening where it was decorated with fairy lights.

I liked everything about it.

Absolutely everything was great! Beautiful house, warm and welcoming host Margarita. The breakfasts are simply amazing, we weren't expecting such homemade tasty breakfasts. The room, the service - everything was beyond expectations. The most beautiful view on town from the balcony. Thank you so much for your attitude and the most delicious lamb for Easter dinner.

We had a truly wonderful stay! The apartment was incredibly cozy, clean, and full of charm. It’s a beautifully authentic place with so much character, and we immediately felt at home. The location is perfect — peaceful yet close to everything, and the view from the window was absolutely stunning. The host and her son were exceptionally kind and welcoming. They took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. We truly appreciated their warmth and hospitality. I wholeheartedly recommend this place — it’s a gem, and we would gladly come back again!
