Sadyba Cherry

Sadyba Cherry turned out to be a real gem in Pilipets — a cozy place where you feel at home, but with mountains outside your window. This three-star hotel is located right in the heart of the village, which is very convenient for walks to the lift (10-15 minutes on foot, no more). The owners are very welcoming — they greeted us with tea and homemade cookies, told us everything about local trails. Parking is free right next to the building, which is important, especially in winter when you’re bringing skis and snowboards.

The rooms are simple but clean and warm — exactly what you need after a day on the slopes. We had a room with a balcony on the second floor, which offers a wonderful view of the snowy peaks. Breakfasts are homemade and hearty (especially loved the syrniki!), and in the evening you can order dinner — they cook tasty food, though the menu is small. Wi-Fi works stably, which was a pleasant surprise for such a small establishment in the mountains. The only downside — the walls are a bit thin, so if neighbors are noisy, it can be a bit loud, but overall it’s not critical.
