  : Nice place close to nature, with friendly hosts and cats.The dinner included in the price was very good, but the breakfast was not sufficient if for example you want to hike all evening, but you can buy something else.
  : Its best to go with a big car, or a car you dont care about because the road to this place is horrible. Also, sometimes a weird smell was coming from the bathrooms sewage.

  : The staff was friendly. The portions of the including dinner where big. The location very quiet.
  : Breakfast portion was rather small. The room was next to the terras which made it sometimes loud. And the sound proofing of the room could be way better. If someone above you is walking with shoes you could hear every step very loud.

  : Staff, breakfast and diner was super ok. The location is great and surrounding nature is amazing.
  : The road is a nightmare. Event they told on the site that the road is in bad condition, after raining the road is almost impracticable. I have never seen anything like this in my life and was very difficult to reach with motorcycle during the rain. In fact, during the rain the road is a big river, with hidden stones and mud.

  : The owners of the place are nice, accommodating people. I had a phone reception and the wi-fi was enough for the rudimentary things like sending messages, but it took some time to send/receive files. My husband was using his paid data to work remotely. Food was very tasty, albeit we are used to bigger portions, especially for breakfast. Thankfully one can order some more food from the menu. We stayed just for a few days, so we were fine with that. It's nice that we were able to have a vegetarian choice of dishes (for the dinner included in the stay) - they were really thoughtfully prepared and tasted great. Sashko is a nice cook! We loved the animals - especially Berta who stole our hearts and who was accompanying us on our daily walks. But all the 4 cats were also wonderful to have around. It's very green, refreshing and cool there during the summer, and one can enjoy walking a lot among the amazing beech forest and along the mountain spring(s).
  : As many others mentioned, the road to reach Verbena is difficult (but definitely doable) :) It is a lot of ruts within stones and old asphalt, sometimes it is just stones and hard, clay road (?) - we needed to carefully maneuver using the 1st gear to avoid the bigger stones and deep unevenness (we had a rented Renault Clio 3). We are not much of people persons and shy away from spending time close to others, so it was a bit difficult, as Verbena seems to be a popular destination and there is a limited space at the property to hang around on your own - one will always encounter somebody. For a few days that's ok for us, especially when you can have those nice, long walks outside. Nights were calm and quiet, but the wooden structure of the house made all the morning commotion of other inhabitants very audible and because I am very sensitive to sounds, I couldn't sleep very well (even though I had my earplugs).
