Hello, We are the Arsenovi family !
We love nature, taking long walks, traveling, tasting delicious food, listening to good music, and love to spend time with a pleasant company. With love and inspiration, we have created Katerina Guest House right on the shore of Rilska River, with the idea that you, our guests, can experience these wonderful feelings. The house is equipped with everything you need for a relaxing vacation or as a starting point for exciting adventures.
During the spring and summer days, our well-maintained yard and relaxation area will fill you with positive energy. Here, you can enjoy the fresh air, the songs of birds, the whisper of the river, and take a break from the noise and busyness of city life. At the same time, we are often visited by the beloved swallows and storks that often circle and nest in the area of the Rilska River.
In our garden, we grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs, which you can pick and prepare something fresh to eat on the spot. The house also offers a spacious outdoor barbecue and relaxation area, where you can dine, rest, or simply enjoy the view of the summer garden, and the river will give you a sense of purification, tranquility, and peace. We offer you a place to spend unforgettable moments with your loved ones – your family! A family vacation at Katerina Guest House provides experiences beyond the urban environment – cooking together, having dinner together, playing, and exploring nature together.

Great treatment. Very nice and welcoming hosts. Attentive to cater our needs. Would recommend staying here. 10/10.
Nikolaï et Katerina sont des personnes charmantes et attentionnées. Leur villa est un lieu de paix propice à y vivre en famille. Nous étions 4 adultes et 3 bébés et chacun avait sa place en tout confort. Cet emplacement est tout près de Blagoevrad où se trouvent plusieurs commerces et restaurants utiles. Mille mercis à Nicolaï pour son temps lors de la visite du monastère de Rila, nous avons beaucoup apprécié cette visite en sa compagnie et la découverte des délicieux mekistas dont raffole Malcolm. Ce fût un séjour parfait pour notre famille.

Страхотно място за почивка, разположено в тих квартал на Кочериново. Уютна атмосфера, широки и чисти стаи. Кухнята е оборудвана с всичко необходимо. Домакините са много мили и отзичвчиви хора, препоръчаха ни много забележителностите в района. Силно препоръчвам!

Amazing house. Close drive to everything. Couldn't have asked for nicer hosts or a more beautiful house.

This house is new and very thoughtfully built. It’s sparkling clean and spacious. 4 bedrooms with private bathrooms, an excellent kitchen and dining area, very cozy sitting around the fireplace and very very nice hosts. It’s right by the river and near the Rila Monastery and the Stob pyramids. I recommend it to families with kids.

Страхотно място! Къщата е прекрасна, много уютна и удобна, чудесно оборудвана, има всичко, за което си помислиш. Катерина и Николай бяха изключително любезни и отзивчиви. Посрещнаха ни, разказаха ни за местността и какво можем да посетим, бяха винаги на разположение, но най-запомнящото се беше личната им градинка зад къщата с домати, краставици, моркови, чушки, ягоди, малини и др., от която настояваха да си берем и да хапваме чисти и домашни плодове и зеленчуци! Бяхме с три малки деца и те се веселиха на воля на добре поддържаната трева в прекрасния двор на къщата. Наистина чудесно място 🙂

Absolutely recommended! The apartment was above and beyond our expectations , the apartment looks even much better than it does in the pictures, it's quite big yet feels very homey, the location is very beautiful and relaxing with a great view of the distant mountains around and the small river that runs just across the road from the apartment. Another thing to mention is the great hospitality. Nikolay showed us the apartment and even showed us the area around the house where there are grocery stores and other useful locations for our stay. Also they gave us this great homemade cherry jam and kompot. The house itself is very convenient, every bedroom has its own bathroom, the kitchen is fully equipped and very clean, and the garden is well groomed and pleasant. So to sum it all up, the apartment is highly recommended, and surely we'll return to this place if we'll come back to this area again.

In single line: DON'T MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO STAY IN THIS LOVELY VILA. If it somehow aligns your plans to stay at this area, this is the place to do it! It fits both families and group of friends. (We stayed there with four of our kids. Total of six people. There is enough room for much more than that). The vila is very comfortable, nicely designed and very clean. Everything feels like it is all brand new. The impression you get from the images is very similar to the reality. I can honestly say that it is even a little better than that! Did you notice the river next to the front yard? Well, it really is just few meters from it! You can enjoy staying next to it for a while or just listening to the stream from the house itself. The bathrooms are very cozy (each in every bedroom) and the bedrooms themselves are just lovely. The kitchen is 100% well equipped and comfortable. We used it a lot and totally enjoyed it. I have many more good things to say about this place. But it starts to get too long. I'd just comment that Katerina and Nikolay are extremely nice hosts. They made us feel home and did everything they could to make our stay more pleasant that it already was. They even stayed with use one evening just for helping us with the preparations for the next day and communicating with some sites we wanted to get to. We enjoyed our stay so much that we even thinking about having an additional trip to that area just for staying there once again! Don't hesitate!!!

Прекрасно място за почивка! Престоят ми в къща за гости "Катерина" беше изключително приятен. Домакините бяха невероятно гостоприемни и ни изненадаха със сезонна кошница с плодове и зеленчуци от своята био градина. Също така ни упътиха до най-малка подробност кои забележителности да посетим и по кое време е най-добре да го направим. Страхотна почивка, която прекарах с мъжа ми и децата – разгледахме Рилския манастир и се разходихме до пещерата на Иван Рилски по кратка гориста пътека. На следващия ден посетихме Стобските пирамиди – разходката до пирамидите е много приятна и подходяща за малки деца. Руенският манастир е само на 25 минути от къщата, а там успяхме да разгледаме и родното място на Иван Рилски – село Скрино. Остана ни време и да посетим етнографския комплекс Вароша в гр. Благоевград, както и историческия музей. След това се отправихме към парк Бачиново, където децата се забавляваха много във въжения парк на града, подобен на парка Коколандия в София. Горещо препоръчвам къща за гости "Катерина" на всеки, който търси спокойствие, уют и напълно оборудвана къща. Наоколо има много интересни места за посещение. Определено ще се върнем отново!

Къща за гости Катерина е идеалното място за семейна почивка. На първо място ни впечатли колко е чисто и поддържано. Къщата е много просторна и е помислено за всичко, което може да е необходимо по време на престоя, включително и преносима бебешка кошара. Влюбихме се в атмосферата на къщата, уюта на стаите, външното пространство и спокойствието, което се усеща. Направихме си страхотна разходка до Рилския манастир, който е на около 30-40 минути път с кола. Домакините са много усмихнати и отзивчиви хора. Силно препоръчвам!

Само на час път от София. На тихо и спокойно място. Нова и отлично поддържана къща. Има барбекю и еко-градина за зеленчуци. Близо е по пътя за Атонските пирамиди и на час от Рилския манастир.

Къщата е прекрасна! Хубав двор, има абсолютно всичко необходимо. За децата има батут, нашето дете супер много му се зарадва, има детски книжки и играчки. Реката пред къщата създава уникална атмосфера, както и черешовите дръвчета. Собствениците са изключително отзивчиви и любезни, дават информация за всичко в къщата и за забележителностите около нея. Определено бихме се върнали отново!

Беше изключително чисто. Първата вечер камината беше наредена и трябваше само да я запалим. Стаите бяха хубави и просторни. Бяха оставили предостатъчно хигиенни материали. Кухнята беше просторна и заредена със всичко небходимо.

Мястото е страхотно. Голяма къща с всички удобства, просторни и много слънчеви помещения, оборудвана кухня, камина, 4 спални, всяка със собствена баня, чудесно обзавеждане и комфорт. Има перфектен двор, дървена люлка, барбекю с навес, батут за децата, място за паркиране на коли. Намира се точно до река, има страхотна природа и определено е място, където може да си почине човек с наслада. Идеално е и за семейства с деца, защото имат нужното пространсто и условия за игра 🙂

Къщата е страхотна - помещенията са просторни, много светли и топли. Кухнята разполага с всички необходими уреди и прибори. Леглата са изключително удобни. Домакините са много мили и услужливи, погрижили са се за уюта и всички малки детайли.
