Vitosha · Sofia · since 1968

Tradition carved
from stone and water.

Welcome to Vodenitzata — a different kind of place where you'll be enriched with flavours and experiences. An old watermill, a wild garden at the foot of the mountain, and dishes cooked from recipes passed mother to daughter.

The central hall of Restaurant Vodenitzata
„If you see a mill in your dream, you will grow rich.“
