Nestled in the heart of the Eastern Rhodopes and overlooking the shimmering waters of Studen Kladenets Reservoir, Penev Guesthouse offers two charming houses designed for relaxation, family gatherings, and outdoor adventures. Each house is thoughtfully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and memorable stay. Inside, guests will find a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances and cookware, perfect for preparing fresh local meals. The cozy living room includes a flat-screen TV and free high-speed Wi-Fi, making it easy to unwind after a day of exploring. Bedrooms offer soft bedding and lake-view windows that let you wake up to serene, panoramic views every morning. Step outside to enjoy the spacious veranda with a barbecue area, ideal for alfresco dining, evening drinks, or simply soaking in the tranquil atmosphere. The property also features a private courtyard and secure parking, adding an extra layer of convenience and safety. Guests love the mix of comfort and nature — whether it’s grilling fresh fish, enjoying a romantic sunset, or spending time with loved ones. The property is pet-friendly (upon request), so even four-legged friends can enjoy the escape. This is a place where you can truly disconnect from the city rush and reconnect with nature, with the bonus of being just a short drive from Kardzhali and popular archaeological and cultural landmarks.

We are passionate about sharing the beauty of the Rhodopes with their guests. They personally ensure every house is spotless and ready for your arrival, and they are available for local tips — from the best fishing spots to hidden trails and must-see landmarks. Their goal is to make every guest feel at home while enjoying an authentic, stress-free stay.

Penev Guesthouse is located in a peaceful village, just a 10-minute drive from Kardzhali, offering the perfect balance between seclusion and accessibility. Guests are surrounded by nature — the reservoir is just steps away, making it ideal for fishing, boating, and quiet walks by the water. For culture lovers, Perperikon (25 minutes away) and Tatul Thracian Sanctuary (35 minutes away) provide a glimpse into Bulgaria’s ancient history. The region is rich with eco-trails, rock tombs, and sanctuaries, making it a favourite for hikers, photographers, and explorers. Nearby cafes and restaurants serve authentic local cuisine, where you can enjoy fresh dairy products, grilled meats, and Rhodope specialties. After a day of adventure, return to your private veranda to watch the sun set over the lake. With its mix of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and easy access to Kardzhali’s shops and services, this is the ideal base for a family holiday, romantic weekend, or extended stay in the Rhodopes.
