About

Your gateway to the RILA MONASTERY and one the most scenic regions of Bulgaria!

PORTALA has 10 beds (1 double room and 2 4-bed rooms) for all adventurers and travelers who want to explore the hidden treasures in the RILA MONASTERY area. You will find PORTALA in the town of Rila, on the main road to the Monastery, just 1 hour away from Sofia and 20 minutes from it.

We invite you to spend the night in a cozy house that combines the spirit of a mountain hut with the amenities of the town. Use it as a basecamp before exploring trails on foot and by bike. You will be able to try delicious local products, work remotely in peace with a beautiful view of the mountain peaks and feel with all your senses the expression 'Rila is dear to me'. Join the regular GUIDED hike or bike tours to nearby attractions - Stob's Pyramids, 'The Cross' eco trail, Bohemia Waterfalls Extreme Trail, Red Pyramids, Montevino Winery, The Dry Lake. A true PORTAL to the wildest part of Rila Mountain!

We had a phenomenal stay with Viktor and Lilly, beautiful b&b type feel with spacious garden and lovely rooms, lots to do in the area and endless recommendations/help if needed. Could not recommend more, if in doubt just do it!
