Stoikite is one of the most picturesque small villages in the Rhodopes. Here you can find some old houses in the Rhodopean style and an enchanting church. The Rhodopes are famous for its myths and legends, and providing a wide range of tourism opportunities. Rhodopean folk songs sound as if they sprig from the depth of the mountains, breaking through the soul of the native singer and speeding over the peaks. While listening to the Rhodopean folk songs we realize why the mythical singer Orpheus is supposed to have lived here in the hearth of the Rhodopes back in the 13th century BC.

For the winter season the tourists can use a 1,5 km ski run, which is situated near the hotel. The upper and the middle part of the run are suitable for experienced skiers and the lower part is good for beginners. Besides, the village of Stoykite is only 5 km away from the famous Bulgarian resort Pamporovo.
The summer season is a challenging time too. For this time the hotel offers mountain family and ecological tours. There are very good conditions for family rest, facilities for hiking, exploring, listening to folk music, horse-riding and fishing.
