Staff was amazing! We had a great time and everything was above and beyond! We were with a small pincher who also like it very much and was properly treated! Again the place is a must see, but the staff is the cherry on top of it which makes the experience so much enjoyable! Definitely will come again!

Quel bonheur de revenir à Zornitza! Nous avons séjourné en famille dans une suite supérieure, upgardé généreusement par l’administration…et c’était juste top! Les bassins d’eau, la salle du sport, la vue sublime, la cuisine exquise, le personnel attentif, tout a été excellent! La valeur ajoutée: peu d’invités, bonifie le séjour en calme et en zénitude extraordinaires, quasi impossibles à trouver ailleurs. Le tout est fait avec de bon goût, de l’entretien et de soin, Zornitza reste l’unique Relais et Châteaux au pays, et on ne peut qu’être reconnaissants de bons moments passés à cet endroit merveilleux. On y reviendra, comme d’habitude. Merci encore 🙏
