It is a great place, actually but lacks care from those running it. Ticket was (Oct 30, 2022) 5leva or 2.5euro. I suggest you to carry domestic currency. The place is great, because you can see hidden rooms, secret paths and a quite big cave with corridors, where they store barrels of wine (or used to store?). The ticket also includes wine tasting of 2-3 different wines, small quantities though... Why the 3 stars then? Because they could take more care of such a monument and they don't seem to care about hygiene in their WC. Additionally, in case you decide to walk your way up to the house, starting from the village, you should be ready to carry specific type of shoes. Don't even think of walking with something else but your sneakers... Leaving the village, I suggest you to try a few wines, in case you 're a collector or just a wine lover. Their red ones are quite tasty but this is...

Nice place, but my good words ends there. The guy who sales wine was not correct and responsible. I’m saying this because google not allowing me to use more original explanation of this guy. We asked and payed for 10 bottles of nice rose and find out after that there was only 8. This supposed to be happening years ago, but looks like this guy still lives in 1990’s. If you make same mistake to buy a wine from them just make sure check the box before he nicely tapes and looks like he cares for it. And I remember I asked him can 10 bottles fits there and his answer was yes. As I said probably not all traders do this confusing things but this kind of not very clever and cheap actions done buy not very clever and love trade mentality people ruins reputation...

На края на градчето, на най-високото място, доста указателни табели има как да стигнете до нея. Всъщност се движите по централната улица и в края и свивате наляво и нагоре. Построена през 1754 г. и е най-голямата възрожденска къща на Балканския полуостров, запазена и до днес. Паметник на културата е. С билет на символичната стойност от 3.50 лв. ще я посетите като в цената влиза и дегустация на вино от прочутия местен сорт „Широка мелнишка лоза“. Построена е с цел производство, съхранение и търговия на вино, като и до днес в приземния етаж продължава да се произвежда вино по стара, триста годишна технология, а тунелите, в които се съхранява, са пълни с бъчви, някои от тях с вместимост 12 тона. Дванадесет години са били необходими, за да се прокопаят на ръка тунелите с обща дължина около 150-200 метра. Температурата в тях е постоянни и е 10-12 градуса, тази температура се поддържа посредством пробити отвори в тунелите и това осигурява естествена вентилация. Освен, че се занимавали с производство на вино, фамилията Кордопулови изнасяли голяма част от него в Европа. Къщата е много голяма, с интересна архитектура, смесица от стилове. Силно впечатление ми направи горния етаж, където е било мястото за живеене – има лятна столова, огромен кьошк с големи, витражни прозорци, от които светлината струи, дълги миндери, гостна от 90 кв.м. – с два реда прозорци, от които горният ред е също с красиви витражи, а слънчевите лъчи, които проникват през тях карат цветовете в стаята да греят. Таванът е с уникална дърворезба като е изобразено слънце, около което има 12 фигури – месеците от годината. На едната стена на гостната от горе до долу са вградени гардероби, а останалите са покрити със стенописи. Пъстрите цветове на килимите и миндерите грабват погледа ви. От прозорците се откриват невероятни гледки към градчето и пирамидите. Банята пък е със сауна, нещо невиждано тогава. Има и тайник, скрит зад гардероб. Най-отгоре има покрита зимна градина и открита лятна градина, в която има и слънчев часовник. Ако се качите на платото Св. Никола, има чудна гледка към кацналата на хълма къща. Отивайки към къщата, ще минете и покрай останките от църквата...

Stepping inside the Kordopulov House is like stepping back into the 18th century, when the Kordopulos family reigned as Melnik's winemaking elite. Four floors with wood carvings, stained glass windows, and frescoes tell the story of a family that dominated the region's wine trade. Wandering through the labyrinthine tunnels of the wine cellar, lined with colossal oak barrels. You can see traditional costumes, handcrafted tools, and everyday objects. Documented family records and historical exhibits. No visit to the Kordopulov House is complete without indulging in a tasting of the region's famed wines. The on-site winery uses centuries-old techniques to produce the unique Melnik varietals.

Kordopulov House is very well preserved and maintained. Since it is the largest Revival-period house on the Balkan Peninsula, inside you will see richly decorated and ornately furnished rooms, remarkable woodcarvings, colourful stained-glass windows, and impressive wall paintings, reflecting the wealth and good taste of the Kordopulov family that once lived here. In addition, the surrounding sandstone hills and the surrounding mountains are stunning. This house is no doubt the most iconic site in Melnik and arguably in South-West Bulgaria, a must see if you are in that area. There is a small admission fee of 3 Euro.

Its a great traditional and historical house of the Greek merchandiser Kordopoulos, who built that huge place up in the mountain in order to produce the best wine. All the rooms look like a museum and there are some impressive tunnels in the basement where the old barrels of wine are stored (check the video I have uploaded). There is a solar clock in the terrace and there is even a secret room in the house hidden in a closet (video also uploaded). You even get the chance to try some of the wine produced there, so I totally recommend visiting the place, even though there are too many stairs to get there.
