Velingrad lies in a valley of the western Rhodopes and is known across Bulgaria for its many mineral springs. The upmarket hotels in town vary a lot in how much they say about pools, spa areas and treatments. Knowing which details are on record and which need a direct question helps avoid surprises on arrival.
