The books, carefully selected and arranged around the apartments, are another small element that contributes to the feeling of equilibrium. Our collection includes titles in several languages, including Bulgarian and English. We are constantly trying to enrich and update the library to offer guests a variety of reading material to suit all tastes and moods.
And cats, the unofficial symbol of Plovdiv, are everywhere in the apartments in the form of decorations – pillow-cats lounge meekly on the beds, written-sculptures stand dignified alongside the books, and painted curiosities with whiskers peek out from behind the pictures, adding their charm to the overall atmosphere.
Approaching Eight hill apartments on foot along the small, quiet street is a magical experience. The place fosters a feeling of discovering an oasis in the heart of the bustling city. The building has been designed to blend seamlessly with its surrounding urban environment. The façade, executed in a style characteristic of the early 20th century, complements the gently eclectic atmosphere of the neighbourhood and captivates passers-by with its charm.
From the first step through the door, guests are immersed in a parallel world where every element has been created with their peace of mind and comfort in mind. Inspired by minimalism, the design elegantly avoids unnecessary embellishments while maintaining a homey feel and aesthetic.
The lobby, staircases, hallways and suites are decorated with paintings and photographs that add to the artistic ambience and tell their unique stories. Most of these pieces are works created by the talented designer Ivan Ivanov, the local artist who also created the interior design of the apartments.
A sculptor by training, Ivan has dedicated the majority of his career to interior design. His creative inspiration continues to find expression in a variety of techniques and media. Some of these works adorn the walls of Eighth hill apartments and enchant guests with their alluring, soothing atmosphere.
The combination of an authentic façade, minimalist interiors, inspiring art, carefully selected literature and decorative cats – the guardians of the domestic hearth – creates the appealing charm of the Eighth hill apartments.
Here guests can immerse themselves in the magic of Plovdiv, indulge in the quietude and be inspired by the beauty that surrounds them.
