We are the Petrishki family.
Hello!
The history
The Djudjeva house was completed in 1860, as evidenced by a sign on the water fountain in the yard. The house was owned by two great Panagyurishte’s families. It was built by Staiko Dedev – rich djelepin (animal merchant). His wife was a prominent and vigorous woman. Her name was Petra Dedeva. She was the chairwoman of the First Women’s Society in Panagyurishte – “Momina Kitka”. Together they raised up three sons Petar, Pavel and George.
The house was inherited by their first-born son Petar Dedev. He was the longest-standing Panagyurishte’s mayor before 1944. Peter and his wife had four daughters. The eldest – Penka Dedeva married Petar Djudjev, who payed the share of the other heirs and the house became his property around 1910. Petar Djudjev was rich and educated young man. He studied chemistry at the Sorbonne in Paris. He is also known for electrifying the Panagurishte town at the beginning of the 20th century.
With the new communist party leading the country after 1944 came a lot of changes. The house was taken away from the family for the benefit of the state in 1948. Petar Djudjev lived in the house until his death in 1962. But the house was not his own property and he had to share it with other people.
In 1984 the house was restored in order to be residence of Pencho Kubadinsky (communist leader). After the fall of the communist regime, the property was returned to the 21 heirs.

The hotel
The hotel consists of 2 houses for accommodation, a restaurant, an old open air oven and a souvenir shop, all located in a spacious green yard! The bigger house was the building where the Djudjevi family lived and the small house was an outbuilding. Both houses offer accommodation in 2 apartments and 6 double rooms.

The souvenir shop
The shop is located in the former granary. The whole building is wooden and about 160 years old. The family’s grain was stored there during the winter. Nowadays you can take with you a small souvenir from our house, you can buy a folklore costume hand made by local women or just inspire yourself.
