      Asti Art hotel in Sinemorets is a lovely place to stay. Very nice personnel, cosy rooms and not far from the beach! We had a great time this summer there! Kornelia&Valerio Fuschini

      Asti Arthotel is a really nice, quiet and warm place, if you want to get a real vacation. It has a really nice location and great amenities, and very nice view on the Black Sea. Especially if you climb up one of the towers. I've been there last summer and for New Years Eve, and although the winter was quiet in Sinemoretz, we had a really really wonderful time. If you've never visited the region, you'll find it is one the best places to go along the Black Sea coast. Enjoy!
