The traditional character of the house has been lovingly preserved but with a modern bathroom. The large barn is now an open air dining room with excellent views of the mountains. The garden is 1000sq m of grass and fruit trees. It is a great playground for children. Help yourself to plumbs, apples, grapes and pears in season. It is a few kilometers from the town of Apriltsi which is a tourist center for Bulgarians not yet well known to western tourists. (Try googling Apriltsi) Here there are many good restaurants and swimming pools. The nearest restaurant and pool (About 1 Euro per day) is 15 min. walk or 3 min. in a car. (Hotel Romantika which has a web site) The surrounding country is stunning with rivers (with swimming holes) mountains and forest in which there are deer, bears and wild boar. Much of it is national park. The walking is spectacular and with few people. The forest runs right up to the garden and bears have been know to come to eat fallen fruit. The garden is visited by many birds. There is good road access without road noise. It is a very quiet, beautiful, secluded and private location close to the village of Kravenik which has a bar and well stocked grocery shops. Regular buses run to Apriltsi and Savlievo from Sofia and most major Bulgarian cities. There is public transport from Savlievo or we can arrange pick up in Savlievo or Apriltsi. We can also arrange transport from Bucharest Airport with a stop over in Ruse for £90 each way. 2 guests is the minimum at these prices. A single person must also pay £30 cleaning fee. In winter 5 days is the minimum due to the cost of draining and reinstating the water supply to avoid freezing, sorry.
