Villa List, a hotel on the central beach of Sozopol, runs business events in four rooms of different sizes. The largest, Apollonia Pontica, seats 200 in cinema layout. The official site lists seminars, training, team building, business meetings, congresses, round tables, press conferences, exhibitions and cocktail parties, and offers group rates that combine rooms, meals and coffee breaks.
Seminars and company events
The hotel presents itself for organisers who want to combine work with a seaside stay. The event team can take the whole property for a programme, from planning to the smallest details, according to the needs and budget of the client. Group discounts and package prices for overnight stay and breakfast are offered, with lunch, dinner and coffee breaks on request.
The views of the Old Town of Sozopol and of the sea are part of the argument. The Media meeting room sits next to the terrace of the hotel restaurant and looks over both.
Weddings and receptions
The official site does not describe weddings. It does mention cocktail parties and corporate receptions among the formats the halls can take. Couples should ask the events team whether a wedding is possible.

Apollonia Pontica is the multifunctional hall: 200 square meters and up to 200 seats in cinema layout, with a stage and presentation area. It has two multimedia projectors, two screens, two laser pointers, a flipchart, two microphones, a lectern with its own lighting, central air conditioning, high-speed wifi, an acoustic ceiling, professional sound and the option to divide the hall on request.
