We love new experiences. This year they decided to spend their vacation in Podilske Tovtra. An acquaintance of the travel agency advised us to spend our vacation in Sunny Provence. This hotel opened in May. We were surprised by the democratic prices. In addition, the three of us settled in a 2-room double room, we still saved. In addition, a big plus was the road to Satan. It was not necessary to hunt for train tickets in advance. We boarded a minibus in Kyiv at 6:30 pm and were already there at the beginning of the first night. The hotel is not located in Sataniv itself, but further on, on a mountain in Satanivska Slobidka, near the Tovtry resort. Usually, buses stop there. But our driver dropped us off at Sataniv, where we were met and taken to a hotel. Everything stated on the hotel's website is true. Rooms and interior of the hotel in the style of Provence. Pleasant to the eye. Cleanliness and order everywhere. We immediately felt the attention and friendliness of the staff.
I want to say only the most pleasant things about all the hotel staff. So we have not rested in Ukraine yet.
The kitchen is a separate topic. We pampered ourselves with treats. We tried something new every day. Breakfast was included in the price. And for lunch and dinner we offer either a complex or dishes from the chef. The last expensive but large portions. You can take one serving for two or two for three. Association. Lunch and dinner cost about 100 UAH. from the face. It could be more economical. But we decided not to feel sorry for our loved ones.

Mineral water flows directly from the well in the hotel. For recovery, foam, massage, hydromassage, beauty treatments, exercise bike are offered. Every night a movie is shown in the cinema hall. Such a vacation may seem boring to some. Compared to Truskavets, it is a wasteland. But personally we like it better. The nature of the Podolsk Tovtry simply captivated us.
A very meditative and harmonious place.
Every day we went down from Satanivska Slobidka to Satanovoho-2, where the sanatoriums of the Tovtry resort are located. A full-fledged sanatorium "Sunny Provence" will open here next year. And next to the hotel another building is being built, which will have a swimming pool and sauna. The construction somehow did not bother us.
Tovtry Resort is located in a picturesque place surrounded by green hills. Among the trees is the river Zbruch, which divides Khmelnytsky and Ternopil regions. The arm of the river was blocked by a dam and a large lake was formed. The water in the lake is flowing, but the bottom is muddy and the water blooms in places. You can swim and fish. And it is best to walk around the lake. Few people, complete relaxation. Right next to the lake is a new sanatorium "Pearl of Podillya". People did not respond very well to the service there. Sanatorium "Zbruch" was praised. The old Soviet sanatorium "Tovtry" no longer exists.
In its place, the grandiose construction of the Arden Palace complex began. But it was frozen because of Russian funding. An asphalt road leads to the lake from Satanivska Slobidka. Go down for 20 minutes. And it is difficult to rise in the heat. We arrived by regular bus for 1-2 UAH. I think that in the future the hotel will organize free delivery.
The hotel is located near the monastery of the XV I-XVIII centuries. In the woods near the monastery there was once a cave monastery of the XI century. , where the monastic cell survived In the monastery preserved the church of the XVIII century. , services are conducted. There are no monks here yet. The monastery is slowly being restored. We also visited the monastery in the village. Falling down. There is a baptismal font like the source of St. Anne near Pochaev. By the way, full day excursions are organized to Pochaiv, Zarvanytsia, Bakota, Kamianets-Podilskyi.

We really liked the walking tour of Podolsk Tovtra (they are called Medobory here) to the cave of the hermit monk and mineral springs. We crossed the bridge over the river Zbruch near the sanatorium "Pearl of Podillya" and found ourselves in Ternopil region. It is also worth visiting the ancient Satanov, which has preserved a unique synagogue, the ruins of the castle, the entrance gate of the XV century. In Satan, large fairs are organized on Sunday, where people from all over come.
Unfortunately, few people had a rest in "Sunny Provence". If the hotel was full, evenings with live music and other events would be organized. A buffet was also originally planned. Once we were offered a trip to the beach on the river Smotrych in the district center Gorodok. The water there is much cleaner than in the lake, the bottom is sandy. We were given sunbeds.
One night there was a strong storm with a hurricane wind. Lightning hit the transformer. In the afternoon we were without water and light.
Our breakfast was not hot.
Instead, we were fed lunch for free as compensation. A pleasant surprise was that when we went home in the morning, not having time for breakfast, we were given food with us on the way, also for free.
Finally, I would like to thank all the friendly staff of the hotel for our unforgettable vacation. We will definitely come again.
