The resort is situated in the natural park Vrelo, Stara Planina. The site stretches over 1500 square meters of wild landscape, bounded by two rivers that cut their course through the most attractive areas of the mountain. Special attention was paid to the resort's incorporation into the natural surroundings and sustaining the authentic ambiance of the location. Through the use of local materials and their modern treatment, the emphasis was put on low energy consumption, which enabled the implementation of 'green' design and building principles.
On the spot, there were five existing buildings structures, made of wood, that collapsed due to the appearance of rotting and therefore they had to be removed. Supporting walls are originally made of stone and set as cascades in accordance with the terrain, so that each cascade belongs to one object.
The complex now includes five apartment-bungalow objects and a separate auxiliary building with a green roof and can be used all year round for relaxation and recreation. The total capacity of the resort consists of 20 beds.
House unit ‘’A’’ is designed so that the ground floor consist of an entrance hall, toilet, a kitchen with dining area and a living room with central fireplace and large glass doors overlooking the river. Internal staircase leads to the loft with two bedrooms, toilet with mini wellness and utility room.
The rest of the units are a gallery type that consists of living room, kitchenette with dining area, toilet and stairs that reach the bedroom on gallery level.
All types of house units have internal facility courtyard as well as access to common plateau that includes a communal kitchen for team building events.
