Apriltsi is a relatively new town (less than 40 years old) which has recently developed into a trendy mountain resort. It is often referred to as 'a piece of heaven in the heart of the Balkan mountain'. The area is a beautiful natural retreat with good connections and communications to both wildlife and the urban territories.

Svatovete is a newly built hotel with an outdoor swimming pool and a traditional mehana. There are 11 rooms and 4 apartments equipped with all modern amenities. The interior displays pleasing accents on the local tradition, mainly through wood and textile.

The mehana serves delicious local dishes and is a superb place for lively parties and bigger gatherings.

The surrounding area offers a good choice of sightseeing and sports activity options - there are interesting historical sites and museums, pleasant hiking, bicycle and horse riding trails, ski runs and more. Apriltsi lies about an hour and a half drive from Tryavna and Veliko Turnovo and two and a half hours drive from Sofia.
