Traveling should be the relaxation and joy, and not a journey into the unknown, especially when you are going somewhere abroad...||Tired of everything related to the COVID 19, which has been holding us back for two years, complicates our lives and makes the travels impossible, this year we have decided to visit some place in our country SERBIA which is rich in natural beauties.||The destination we have chosen this time is the Hotel Stara planina.||Wonderful resort, almost on the very top of the mountain, all-inclusive service (excelent food), friendly staff, swimming pool outside and inside, free WI-FI, gym, spa, free parking in the garage, several ski slopes (in winter period) .. everything that is common in hotels like this one. ||What is different is the location! ||Totally isolated from civilization, but connected by a solid traffic infrastructure, this hotel offers complete peace in the natural environment ||In all directions there are endless forests, mountain peaks, lots of natural springs with clean mountain water, hiking trails, lot of points with amazing views..||During the summer period, you can also enjoy the forest fruits, blueberries, wild strawberries, raspberries..||We spent a wonderful week there and I would warmly recommend it to all nature lovers!||Definitely it will be a destination that we will visit more often...

I stayed at Stara Planina Hotel during a conference. The hotel is literally in the middle of nowhere, which was great because there was no noise. Everything was great, from check-in to check-out.

The decor felt a bit outdated, and some common areas could definitely use a facelift, but overall, the place was clean.

The food was a real highlight, though—the restaurant served delicious meals, and we looked forward to enjoying them for 2 days. The spa was decent, with a nice sauna, but the pool was disappointing; the walls and floor felt slimy, probably from a lack of proper maintenance, which was pretty off-putting.

The staff’s English wasn’t great, but they were kind and did their best to communicate. I think this place would really come alive during the winter season, especially with its location right next to the ski slopes. It’s probably a great spot for families looking for a...
