VELOVIA
The chef's kitchen at the villa

Food & Nutrition

THE CHEF IS PART OF THE PROGRAMME. NOT AN OPTION.

Three meals a day, prepared fresh with local Rhodope ingredients. Sports breakfast before the ride. Recovery nutrition after. A dinner around a shared table. Every meal is part of the experience. None of it is catering.
